Animation interrupted by another animation; how to fix?

This script connects to the Animator and Character Controller components to make the character walk, attack, etc.

Works like a charm, however if I try to click while moving, the Attack animation is short-stopped by the Walk animation. The character ends up jittering instead of animating if a moving attack is attempted.

- Is there a way to check if an animation is still playing within the code?
- How to make the script to allow Attack to finish before Walk? I have tried tinkering with Exit Time to no avail.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public GameObject player;
4.  
5.     // Update is called once per frame
6.     void Update()
7.     {
8.         if (Input.GetButton("Vertical"))
9.         {
10.             player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("Walk");
11.             Debug.Log("player moving");
12.         }
13.         if (Input.GetButton("Horizontal"))
14.         {
15.             player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("Walk");
16.             Debug.Log("player moving");
17.         }
18.         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
19.         {
20.             player.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("Attack");
21.         }
22.     }
23. }
24.  

 

Update: .Stop() is deprecated I guess. This is gonna suck. Any ideas??

 

Update: Changed to "GetButtonDown". Problem solved.

edit: except the characters stop animating. Ugh!

 

Are you keeping the Animator controller window visible and the object selected? You can learn a lot about how things are misbehaving via that visual technique.

 

Yes and no answers.
