Animation Script Problem! (Help)

Hi there!
I'm not so good at scripting so I got some problems..

I have put 3 animations on a GameObject;
Idle
Walk
Sprint

I want the "Idle" animation to play whenever I go into PlayMode.
I want the "Walk" animation to play when I press "W,S,D,A" on my keybord
I want the "Sprint" animation to play when I press "Left Shift" on my keybord

My "Idle" animation works fine...Except it never stops, Even if I play a new animation.
When I press "W,S,D,A" nothing happens.
And the same thing with my "Left Shift".

I have made a script that should work:

Code (csharp):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. function Start ()
4. {
5.  
6. }
7.  
8. function Update ()
9. {
10.  
11. //Button Down
12.  
13. if (Input.GetButtonDown("Horizontal") || Input.GetButtonDown("Vertical"))
14. {
15.        animation.Play("Walk", PlayMode.StopAll);
16.        animation.Stop("Idle");
17. }
18.  
19.       if (PlayMode)
20.       {
21.             animation.Play("Idle");
22.       }
23.  
24.             if (Input.GetButtonDown("Sprint"))
25.            {
26.                   animation.Play("Sprint");
27.            }
28.  
29. //Button Up
30.  
31. if (Input.GetButtonUp("Horizontal") || Input.GetButtonUp("Vertical"))
32. {
33.       animation.Stop("Walk");
34.       animation.Play("Idle");
35. }
36.  
37.       if (Input.GetButtonUp("Sprint"))
38.       {
39.             animation.Stop("Sprint");
40.       }
41. }

Thanks for you help!

 

Have you actually defined input buttons named "Horizontal," "Vertical," and "Sprint"? These are nonstandard.

Also, as for your script, it's working too hard. When I want to play an animation, I simply call animation.CrossFade — no need to stop the previous animation, or anything of the sort. So, back up... remove the script entirely, and make sure your character idles properly (it can do this without any script at all, provided idle is the first animation defined on it, and you have checked the "Play Automatically" checkbox).

Then add a little script with this in its Update method:

Code (csharp):

1.   if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W)) {
2.       animation.CrossFade("Walk", 0.3f);
3.   }

Now test again. Your little guy should walk when you press the W key. Check at this point that your walk animation is properly set to loop; he should walk forever.

Then you could start adding more logic to keep track of what state the character is in (idle, walking, running). The input checks should only update the state; and then you use the state (or state changes) to CrossFade to the appropriate animation.

 

Thanks alot!
But I got 1 Question...What does "CrossFade" do?

 

It plays the named animation, with a brief blend (I tend to use 0.3 seconds) from the currently playing animation. See the documentation for more details; Unity's docs are, in most places, really amazingly good.

 

Okey, I've made a script for my animations, But how do I make it so the animations stop and go back to where it was before the animations started?
