How to add an IAnimationJob to the AnimationLayer

How to add an IAnimationJob to the AnimationLayer. Because I need the job to collect the bone rotation of the first layer. Then you can use this data on other jobs or on lateupdate

I've never really considered putting jobs anywhere other than the final output, but I can see why that might be useful.

Try something like this:

// Create your job playable.
var jobPlayable = AnimationScriptPlayable.Create(_Animancer.Playable.Graph, new MyJob(), 1);

// Get the layer and root layer mixer.
var layer = _Animancer.Layers[0];
var layerMixerPlayable = ((IPlayableWrapper)_Animancer.Playable).Playable;

// Disconnect the layer and connect the job in its place.
layerMixerPlayable.DisconnectInput(layer.Index);
layerMixerPlayable.ConnectInput(layer.Index, jobPlayable, 0);
layerMixerPlayable.SetInputWeight(0, layer.Weight);

// Connect the layer to the job instead.
jobPlayable.ConnectInput(0, layer.Playable, 0);
jobPlayable.SetInputWeight(0, 1);

That would break if the layer ever disconnects itself from the graph (such as if its Weight becomes 0). So it'd be fine if you're only doing it on layer 0, but otherwise you'd also need to set _Animancer.Playable.KeepChildrenConnected = true; beforehand.

Thank you very much. Although there are a few problems, this is what I changed `

    var jobPlayable = AnimationScriptPlayable.Create(animancer.Playable.Graph, job, 1);

    // Get the layer and root layer mixer.
    var layer = animancer.Layers[0];
    Playable layerMixerPlayable = ((IPlayableWrapper)animancer.Playable).Playable;

    // Disconnect the layer and connect the job in its place.
    layerMixerPlayable.DisconnectInput(layer.Index);
    layerMixerPlayable.ConnectInput(layer.Index, jobPlayable, 0);
    layerMixerPlayable.SetInputWeight(0, layer.Weight);

    Playable layerPlayable = ((IPlayableWrapper)animancer.Layers[0]).Playable;
    // Connect the layer to the job instead.
    jobPlayable.ConnectInput(0, layerPlayable, 0);
    jobPlayable.SetInputWeight(0, 1);`

Finally, this structure is in line with my expectations! Thank you.

layer.Playable was made public in Animancer v7.4 so you can avoid needing that cast if you update.

And I'll probably expose layerMixerPlayable in the next version (or see if I can come up with a better way to handle all this).

I only update to 6.0. Upgrading to 7.0 requires a regeneration of all
