This function can be in any script attached to the **GameObject**, but it must accept only a single parameter of one of the following types: `float`, `int`, `string`, an **object reference**, or an **AnimationEvent** object. **Make sure the GameObject has both an Animator component and the script containing the event functions.** If you need to pass multiple parameters, you can use an **AnimationEvent** object. This object allows you to include a `float`, an `int`, a `string`, and an **object reference** as member values. Additionally, it provides information about the Animation Event that triggered the function.
