Animation play not doing anything the second time?

Yeah I know i've been reading a lot of stuff about this animator already and I've already tried setTrigger, it does nothing, and setBool just keeps repeating the animation over and over.

What I was trying to do was just have one animation that I trigger via script but it doesn't do anything the second time and the animation window shows no feedback about what is going on...

I am sure the mainCooldownRoutine works and state is set to ready.

Code (CSharp):

1.   public override void main(bool toggle)
2.     {
3.         base.main(toggle);
4.         if (state == State.Ready)
5.         {
6.             damageCollider.enabled = true;
7.             animator.speed = animationSpeed;
8.  
9.             string animationName = "MeleeSwingRightToLeft";
10.             animator.Play(animationName);
11.  
12.             if (mainAudioClip != null) audioSource.PlayOneShot(mainAudioClip);
13.             StartCoroutine(mainCooldownRoutine(animationName));
14.         }
15.     }
16.  
17.     public IEnumerator mainCooldownRoutine(string animationName)
18.     {
19.  
20.         state = State.Cooldown;
21.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(mainCooldown / 2);
22.         if (cooldownAudioClip != null) audioSource.PlayOneShot(cooldownAudioClip);
23.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(mainCooldown / 2);
24.    
25.         while (true)
26.         {
27.             AnimatorStateInfo info = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
28.             if (info.IsName(animationName) && info.normalizedTime >= 1.0f) break;
29.             else yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(0.05f);
30.         }
31.  
32.         Debug.Log("DONE");
33.  
34.         state = State.Ready;
35.     }

 

Generally you use setTrigger to start the animation, and configure a transition out of that animation and mark it as "Has Exit Time."

See here my attack -> idle transition. No condition, just "Has Exit Time"

 

Ah alright got it working now with setTrigger/resetTrigger not sure what was going on before, either way when using it like this the info.IsName(animationName) condition will always return false so I just removed it for now.
