    Hi guys,

    is it possible to start the animation of an character (walk or run) with others keys than the arrow-keys in the animator controller?
    I want to create a menu with buttons where i can also control my character but its the same Problem. So, where or how can i change this or configurate this?

    Yes, it's possible. Animator controllers are not tied to input keys. They're tied to Parameters. I suggest looking at the scripts in the Mecanim Example Scenes project.

    thank you for your hint. It was helpful. I tried to change the animation parameters with buttons and an virtual joystick and it worked.
