# Animation State Transition

**Virtual person:** Select which virtual person in your environment is being affected by the action

**State Transition:** Which state do you want to transition the VP into. The currently available options are the following:

1. 2 Lying down poses
2. 9 different sitting poses
3. Back to standing up

**Speed:** The rate at which these transitions will occur. 1 is the default. A higher number will mean that the transition will happen faster.

**Wait Until Animation Finished:** If this selection is set to![](/files/jPWYMyFuVO9nExLOUskV) then the actions that are after this one will not execute until the animation transition is finished.
