Question GetKeyDown pauses game instead of playing animation

(Not sure whether to put this in here or animation)

I am using this code:


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class MilaController : MonoBehaviour
{
private Animator anim;
void Start()
{
anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
{
anim.SetTrigger("Dancing");
}
}
}

I have the trigger set up in the animator, on a transition that goes from Any State to Dancing. When I press D, it pauses the animation and for some reason switches the camera angle to the side, and I can't unpause the game - only get out of play mode using my mouse. It doesn't play the animation at all. I tried this using KeyCode.Q as well, and GetKey instead of GetKeyDown and it did the same thing. I am very new to unity and working through the online lessons so apologies if this is a very obvious fix.

 

How to use code tags: https://forum.unity.com/threads/using-code-tags-properly.143875/

I'm 99% sure your issue is that you have "Can Transition To Self" checked in your transition from "Any State." Click on the transition, expand "Settings" in the inspector by clicking on the arrow, and uncheck "Can Transition To Self."

 

Thank you so much for responding! I unchecked it, but unfortunately nothing changed. I'm going to try to play around with the settings though - I'm hoping that it's something else in there.

 

Are you getting any errors? You might have "Error Pause" enabled in the console, and that's why your game is freezing:

 

That was it! As soon as I disabled "Error Pause," it worked - I did also have an error that I accidentally attached the script I was using to the plane my character was on as well, I think maybe that was messing with it. Thank you!!
