[Unity 5] Only want animation to play once.

Hi,

I currently have a character animation controller set-up that is working fine. However, I have a flip animation set for when the character executes a double jump, and it always keeps looping and flipping until I hit the ground. I have gone into Debug mode and turned wrap mode to Once and unchecked Looping. It hasn't done a thing :/

Any help would be much appreciated, its driving me crazy.

Thanks

 

Can you show some script, how you are calling the flip animation please?

 

One thing I can think of is by using a trigger instead of boolean as the parameter that triggers the flip, and then set transition from the flip back to fall/idle animation using exit time, have you done this?

 

I use this function for calling once to stop looping ..

Code (JavaScript):

1. //              ----------------------------
2. // triggers the bool of the provided name in the animator.
3. // the bool is only active for a single frame to prevent looping.
4. function PlayOneShot (name : String)
5. {
6.     _animator.SetBool(name, true);
7.     yield WaitForSeconds(0);
8.     _animator.SetBool(name, false);
9. }
10. //              ----------------------------

Then I call it with ..

Code (JavaScript):

1. PlayOneShot("flip");

 

Or keep calling flip until it's playing ..

Code (JavaScript):

1. var flipState = Animator.StringToHash("Base Layer.flip");

Then call it like ..

Code (JavaScript):

1.     while(currentBaseState.nameHash != flipState)
2.     {
3.         PlayOneShot("flip");
4.         yield;
5.     }

 

In the animator, if you double click on a state, you can uncheck the "Loop Time" checkbox to make it play only once.

 

der_r is right, uncheck loop time on your clip and it should only play once.
