Question No Animation by moving

Hello lovely Community,

to Time i try me in a first GameJam, to learn more. Now i have a little Problem. Well:

My Player move left by press left mousebutton, move right by press right mousebutton and jump by pressing middle mousebutton. Now i want Animate the Movement, when the Player move. This is my Code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public float moveSpeed = 5f;
8.     public float jumpForce = 10f;
9.     public LayerMask groundLayer;
10.  
11.     private Rigidbody2D rb;
12.  
13.     private void Start()
14.     {
15.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
16.     }
17.  
18.     private void Update()
19.     {
20.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
21.         {
22.             MoveLeft();
23.         }
24.         else if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1))
25.         {
26.             MoveRight();
27.         }
28.         else if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(2))
29.         {
30.             Jump();
31.         }
32.     }
33.  
34.     private void FixedUpdate()
35.     {
36.         // Check if the player is on the ground
37.         bool isGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(transform.position, 0.2f, groundLayer);
38.  
39.     }
40.  
41.     private void MoveLeft()
42.     {
43.         rb.velocity = new Vector2(-moveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
44.         transform.localScale = new Vector2(-1f, 1f);
45.         GetComponent<Animation>().Play("moveleft");
46.     }
47.  
48.     private void MoveRight()
49.     {
50.         rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
51.         transform.localScale = new Vector2(1f, 1f);
52.         GetComponent<Animation>().Play("moveright");
53.     }
54.  
55.     private void Jump()
56.     {
57.         if (Physics2D.OverlapCircle(transform.position, 0.2f, groundLayer))
58.         {
59.             rb.AddForce(Vector2.up * jumpForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
60.         }
61.     }
62. }
63.  

How you can see, i try to start on the Component "Animation" my Animations "moveleft" and "moveright". But when i test it, it doenst play the animation. Here are the Component:


Anybody a Idea what i do wrong?

Best Regards

 

The "Animation" component isn't used anymore, it was replaced by the newer "Animator" component.

Here's a video going over how to use the new system:

Once you add the Animator component, you need to create an Animator Controller asset in the project window: Right click -> Create -> Animator Controller

Assign the newly created Animator Controller to the empty field in the Animator component, then navigate to the Animator window to begin working: Unity's top bar -> Window -> Animation -> Animator

 

Oh okay. Thanks. I will show the Video and try to Work with the new System

 

Solved! Thank you for the help. I will have to understand the system a little more now, but my basic problem has been solved
