# Animation State Transition

Virtual People (VPs) may need to be in a specific state or pose while performing other actions like speaking. Use this action to set that state.

Virtual People (VPs) may need to be in a specific state or pose while performing other actions like speaking. Use this action to set that state.

**Virtual person:** The virtual person in your environment that the action affects.

**State Transition:** The state to transition the VP into. The currently available options are:

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

**Speed:** The rate at which the transition occurs. 1 is the default. A higher number makes the transition happen faster.

**Wait Until Animation Finished:** If this is set to ![](https://2704613365-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxYaaXoZ4YGbVdAnAhdcE%2Fuploads%2F1IwswChS4QUmltp93DF7%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=46c3f0ad-4dc7-49a8-ac76-d34c29dc150a) then the actions after this one do not execute until the animation transition is finished.
