Description

Remarks

The name should be in the form Layer.Name or Layer.SubStateMachine.Name. For example, 
Base.Idle
or 
Base.RunSM.JogForward
.
This method calls Animator.StringToHash on the name parameter and compares it to AnimatorStateInfo.shortNameHash and AnimatorStateInfo.fullPathHash internally. If you call this method often, consider precomputing the hash of the name to improve performance.
