Set animation based on Gyro rotation.

The character in my game doesn't have free movement, it simply rotates around a central point while the camera is right behind the character.

This is a Top View example:



So If I simply Aim my phone to the left with gyro, the character (In Blue) will rotate to the right. If I rotate my phone to the right the character will rotate to the left.

This I am already doing with Gyro with this code:

Code (CSharp):

1. void GyroControll()
2. {
3.    float x = Input.gyro.rotationRateUnbiased.x;
4.    float y = Input.gyro.rotationRateUnbiased.y;
5.  
6.    transform.RotateAround(transform.position, transform.right, -x * GyroSensitivity * Time.deltaTime);
7.    transform.RotateAround(transform.position, Vector3.up, -y * GyroSensitivity * Time.deltaTime);
8. }

What Im trying to do now, is to simply call an Animation for the Character based on its movement (either the character is WalkingLeft or WalkingRight). To do that I added the following block of code to the end of the method above:

Code (CSharp):

1. // the problem is that X fluctuates really fast
2. PlayerAnimator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(x));
3. PlayerAnimator.SetBool("WalkingLeft", x > 0.15f); //used to be 0
4. PlayerAnimator.SetBool("WalkingRight", x < -0.15f); //used to be 0
5.  

The problem is that X fluctuates so fast between negative and positive values (even when rotating only left for example) That it will simply transition between the animations and I dont get a clear animation.

I tried to activate the animation only after a certain threshold (0.15f or -0.15f) but with not much effect.
How could I improve this?

 

Any hints on this guys?
