Animation only works by changing parameter (beginner question)

Hi, as the title says, beginner question.

Problem: I am trying to make the walking animation for my character.
Controls (using this guide http://unity.grogansoft.com/move-player-to-clicktouch-position/) and animations (my own made sprites) are setup and working by itself, just not when im trying to combine them.

If i manually change the parameter in animations to a greater amount then setup in the transitions (which is .01) the animation starts playing.

I have tried using google and this forum's search engine, its just kinda hard figuring out what to look for.
Thanks in advance

 

Post your code

 

Thanks for your reply!

Here you go:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. public class MoveToClickInput : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4. [SerializeField] Transform target;
5. float speed = 6f;
6. Vector2 targetPos;
7. private void Start()
8. {
9.     targetPos = transform.position;
10. }
11. void Update ()
12. {
13.     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
14.     {
15.         targetPos = (Vector2)Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
16.         target.position = targetPos;
17.     }
18.     if((Vector2)transform.position != targetPos)
19.     {
20.        transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPos, speed * Time.deltaTime);
21.     }
22. }
23. }

 

You need to manually send parameter values to your animator from your script, otherwise nothing will change.
Assuming you have a float speed parameter you would use:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.SetFloat.html

 

Allright thank you very much, im gonna give it my best try!

 

My result; With that link i came up with a fixedupdate to give float-parameter values for position and give bool-parameter values to see if the character is still walking or not. With this i can control the animation in a 4way direction.
Maybe this helps someone else facing the same problem in the future.
