How to set "Movement" Bool true after animation has played.

Hey Team

Back again. so i have spent the day looking for a way to stop my players Velocity while the attack animation is playing.

There are a lot of people who ask this question but I don't understand the solutions given, and i don't know how to use Enumerators.

So my idea was "while" the animation was playing, set bool canMove to false then back to true when the animation ends.

but its not working out so well...I am obviously missing something here.
Any help would be appreciated.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerControllerScript : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     Animator animator;
8.     Rigidbody2D rb2d;
9.     SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;
10.  
11.     bool isGrounded;
12.     bool canMove = true;
13.     bool hasJumped = false;
14.     int weaponSwingCount = 0;
15.     public float velocity = 1f;
16.     public float jumpVelocity = 5f;
17.     public float swingVelocity = 0.5f;
18.     public float attackRate = 2f;
19.  
20.     float nextAttackTime = 0f;
21.     float axisHorizontal = 0f;
22.     float moveHorizontal = 0f;
23.

45.         {

Hello again ScaryFace! I think what you want is something called an Animation Event. Here's the docs for it:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html

The basic gist is you put markers in your animation timeline that you hook up to call a specific function.

When the animation hits that marker, it can call a function in your script. You can use this for sounds, motion, particle system starts, etc.... just about anything.

There's even some good video tutorials on animation events if you check around.

 

Thanks again Sensei

It wasn't that hard to figure out. the documentation did the trick.

I created this dude, then set "int" from the event in the key frame of my choice and passed either one or zero and boom I has stop motion.

Code (CSharp):

1.     void StopMovement(int i)
2.     {
3.         if (i == 1)
4.         {
5.             canMove = false;
6.         }
7.         else if (i == 0)
8.         {
9.             canMove = true;
10.         }
11.     }
