Unity Attribute property that able to select Animation State in Animator State Machine layer by layer and optimized by using on Interger field as AnimatorNameAttribute.

Why?

Using hash to labeled Animation State is good performance. (Better than using as a string)

On runtime when animator parameter is executed (such as animator.Play("stateName");), Unity Engine will be transform string to int as hash before doing iteration every parameter's in Animation State Machine Controller (see more info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRDHEqy2uPI)

How to use?

Implement AnimatorName attribute on integer, and label serialize field to name of Animator in the same object (or components), like this example.

public class TestAnimatorName : MonoBehaviour
{
    [AnimatorName("m_animator")]
    public int stateMove;

    public Animator animator;

    public void ChangeStateToMove()
    {
        animator.Play(stateMove);
    }
}
