Animation Transitions Not Working? (2D)

When the game is started the sprite is continuosly going through the walking animation even when it has stopped moving. My aim is to stop the animation when the character stops.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

So, the sprite continues animating while the blue bar in the state has stopped, or the sprite stops animating while the blue bar in the state continues?

Either way, I find it odd. Does the anim clip have the loop flag set? Are there any scripts attached that may influence the behavior?

 

The blue bar works as normal and the loop flag is not set and their is no scripts affecting it. I was trying to find the way of changing the animation of the character when he stops.

 

How many states do you have in the controller? Do you have an idle state that can serve as your "stop" state? Your original post says you want a way to stop the animation. But your last post says you want to change the animation. Not sure what you mean by this. So, the blue bar working as "normal" without the loop flag, that means the bar stays full with blue, and the animation has also stopped, right? Or is it continuously going like you said in the original post?

 

i got confused in the first post sorry. The animation is continuous but i want to be able to change the animation to an idle animation( that is what i meant by stopping the animation). I have 2 states in the controller and i do have a "stop" state but i d not know how to change it to the stop state.

Sorry for the confusion i am a noob at unity first game!

 

In the Animator editor, there's a params tab on the left. Add a new trigger, name it something like "stop". Then, click on the transition arrow between the walk and stop states. There's a condition section. Select the drop down to " stop". Then in your script, you can call GetComponent<Animator>.SetTrigger("stop")

 

That's exactly what I was looking for! But the set trigger part shows up red?

 

"Shows up red"? Like, syntax check? What version of Unity? Not sure if it matters. i.e. whether it's available prior to 5.0.

 

sorry for the late reply i had to go on holiday but i will uploada screenshot of the problem to give some clarity of what i mean.
