Player running and attacking at the same time?

Player running and attacking at the same time?
Would really like to figure out how to get a player to either run and attack at the same time, OR less ideal stop their forward movement while the attack animation is playing. Right now when I press E (attack) and still am moving forward the characters run animation stops playing, and he slides forward while playing the attack animation

I tried checking out Unity's AnimationMix documentation HERE

But couldn't figure out how to assign the shoulder, joints etc...

Here's my code that I am working with:

Code (csharp):

1. function Start () {
2.    // Set all animations to loop
3.    animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;
4.    // except shooting
5.    animation["jump"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
6.    animation["attack1"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
7.  
8.    // Put idle and walk into lower layers (The default layer is always 0)
9.    // This will do two things
10.    // - Since shoot and idle/walk are in different layers they will not affect
11.    //   each other's playback when calling CrossFade.
12.    // - Since shoot is in a higher layer, the animation will replace idle/walk
13.    //   animations when faded in.
14.    animation["jump"].layer = 1;
15.    animation["attack1"].layer = 1;
16.  
17.    // Stop animations that are already playing
18.    //(In case user forgot to disable play automatically)
19.    animation.Stop();
20. }
21.  
22. function Update () {
23.    // Based on the key that is pressed,
24.    // play the walk animation or the idle animation
25.    if (Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) > 0.2)
26.       animation.CrossFade("run");
27.    else
28.       animation.CrossFade("idle");
29.  
30.    // jump
31.    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
32.       animation.CrossFade("jump");
33.      
34.    // Attack
35.    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
36.       animation.CrossFade("attack1");
37.      
38.    // Move Left
39.    if (Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) > 0.2)
40.       animation.CrossFade("run");    
41. }

Any helps or tips on how to approach this would be great.

Thanks.

 

Found a solution on another forum if anybody's interested:

Code (csharp):

1. var speed : float = 12;
2. var gravity : float = 20.0;
3. private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
4.  
5. private var shootanim : AnimationState;function Start ()
6.  
7. {
8.    
9.    rootBone = transform.Find("Bip01/Bip01 Pelvis/Bip01 Spine/Bip01 Spine1");
10.  
11.    shootanim = animation["attack1"];
12.    shootanim.layer = 2;
13.    shootanim.blendMode = AnimationBlendMode.Blend;
14.    shootanim.wrapMode = WrapMode.ClampForever;
15.    shootanim.enabled = false;
16.    shootanim.weight = 1.0;
17.    shootanim.AddMixingTransform(rootBone);
18.    
19.    animation["run"].layer = 1;
20.    animation["idle"].layer = 1;
21.    animation["run"].weight = 0.1;
22. }
23.  
24. function Update () {
25.    if (Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) > 0.1)
26.       animation.CrossFade("run");
27.    else
28.       animation.CrossFade("idle");
29.  
30.    if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.LeftShift)){
31.       shootanim.normalizedTime = 0;
32.       shootanim.enabled = true;
33.     }
34. }

 

Haha Spoke too soon. He'll attack while running however afterwards he no longer swings his arms when he's running.....Bummer

Here's the code, anybody got and tips to help fix that?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var speed : float = 12;
3. var gravity : float = 20.0;
4. private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
5.  
6. private var shootanim : AnimationState;function Start ()
7.  
8. {
9.    
10.    rootBone = transform.Find("Bip01/Bip01 Pelvis/Bip01 Spine/Bip01 Spine1");
11.  
12.    shootanim = animation["attack1"];
13.    shootanim.layer = 2;
14.    shootanim.blendMode = AnimationBlendMode.Blend;
15.    shootanim.wrapMode = WrapMode.ClampForever;
16.    shootanim.enabled = false;
17.    shootanim.weight = 1.0;
18.    shootanim.AddMixingTransform(rootBone);
19.    
20.    animation["jump"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
21.    animation["jump"].layer = 1;
22.    animation["run"].layer = 1;
23.    animation["idle"].layer = 1;
24.    animation["run"].weight = 0.1;
25. }
26.  
27. function Update ()
28.  
29. {
30.    if (Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) > 0.1)
31.       animation.CrossFade("run");
32.    else
33.       animation.CrossFade("idle");
34.  
35.    if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.LeftShift))
36.    {
37.       shootanim.normalizedTime = 0;
38.       shootanim.enabled = true;
39.     }
40.    
41.     // Move Left
42.     if (Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) > 0.2)
43.     animation.CrossFade("run");
44.    
45.     // jump
46.     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
47.
