Toggle 1 singe key with animation = rocket science?

Hello!

I have tried a lot of different codes but no one does the task. The layer just do the animation 1 sec and stands up right after pressing E
Mostly of the codes is similar to this one, and this one also do not work;

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2. var changeToggle : boolean;
3.  
4. function Update ()
5.     {
6.     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)){
7.     changeToggle = !changeToggle;
8.    
9.     if (changeToggle == true) {
10.     animation.Play("sneak_idle");
11.    
12.     }else {
13.    
14.     animation.Stop("sneak_idle");
15.    
16.         }
17.     }
18. }

Even this one doesnt work

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2.     var PlayAim = false;
3.    
4.     function Update() {
5.     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)){
6.     if (PlayAim == false) {
7.     PlayAim = true;
8.     animation.Play("sneak_idle");
9.     }
10.     else { // else PlayAim is true
11.     PlayAim = false;
12.     animation.Stop("sneak_idle");
13.     }
14.     }
15.     }

Can anyone help me solve this please?

 

GetKeyDown is only true for the frame it's pressed so you are effectively calling the animation in one frame and stopping it in the next frame. try removing / commenting out your else statement to make sure it plays as it should and go from there.

 

If i remove so i only have this

Code (JavaScript):

1.    
2.         var PlayAim = false;
3.      
4.         function Update() {
5.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)){
6.         if (PlayAim == false) {
7.         PlayAim = true;
8.         animation.Play("sneak_idle");
9.         }
10.     }
11. }

The player just do the animation 1 sec and stands up, it doesnt hold sneak position.

 

Set the animation to loop / clamp forever(I think it's called) and it'll keep playing.

Are you trying to do a toggle or only with the key held down? EDIT: re-read the title and it says toggle so:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. // code is unityscript... not sure how to change the code type in the code tag *smack head*
3. var playAnim:bool = false;
4.  
5. function Update(){
6.      if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E){
7.           playAnim!=playAnim;
8.           ToggleAnim();
9.      }
10. }
11.  
12. function ToggleAnim(){
13.      if(playAnim){
14.           animation.Play("sneak_idle");
15.      }
16.      else{
17.           animation.Stop("sneak_idle");
18.      }
19. }
20.  
21.  

 

Im trying to toggle E so i dont need to push 3 buttons when sneak run. Toggle E for sneak_idle, and then if you press W you sneak_walk, and if you press Ctrl + W button you sneak_run. I have tried that clamping but didnt get it to work
EDIT: tried your code, getting 1 error ""The name 'bool' does not denote a valid type ('not found')""
for the "var"

EDIT": i had to make some changes to get it to work, but still the player just do the animation 1 sec and then stands up

Code (JavaScript):

1. var playAnim : boolean = false;
2. function Update(){
3.      if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)){
4.           playAnim = !playAnim;
5.           ToggleAnim();
6.      }
7. }
8. function ToggleAnim(){
9.      if(playAnim){
10.           animation.Play("sneak_idle");
11.      }
12.      else{
13.           animation.Stop("sneak_idle");
14.      }
15. }
