PlayableBehaviour

Description

PlayableBehaviour is the base class from which every custom playable script derives.

A PlayableBehaviour can be used to add user-defined behaviour to a PlayableGraph.

A PlayableBehaviour must be part of a branch of a PlayableGraph that is connected to an output to be active.

In the following example, two AnimationClip are controlled by two AnimationClipPlayable, which are blended by a AnimationMixerPlayable. A custom BlenderPlayableBehaviour is modifying the inputs weigth of the AnimationMixerPlayable every frame.
