Walk animation not leaving "walking" state

Hey all, I have an animation that will transition from idle to moving but when i stop pressing the button the animator is still showing the "move" state to be active and the animation loops over and over, sorry if this is real simple like but I'm at my wits end, thanks for any help!

some relevant images from the animator and the code

It looks like your Move parameter in the Animator is a trigger instead of a bool. Try changing it to a bool instead so it can just be a true or false state activation. If you have to keep it as a trigger for some reason, try manually turning the trigger off with code when the keys are not pressed.

 

Thanks for the reply! didn't seem to work though and it looks like it is a boolean after all, trigger has a different tick-box shape

I knew they were different but couldnt remember which was which lol. Sorry about that. 2 other ideas then, have you tried using GetKeyDown instead of GetKey? If that doesn't work, in your code it says anim.SetTrigger, maybe it needs to be anim.SetBool? Just shooting ideas out there since I am not on my home computer.

 

But again, it's weird - you are using bool in animator and you call trigger in code? How this can work?

 

Oh gosh I didn't even see the SetTrigger thing in the code (I didn't do the code on this bit)
When I try and switch to anim.SetBool it throws the below error, but I think I'll go ad take that to our coder. Thank you so much!

Assets\Code\CharacterAnimator.cs(18,12): error CS1501: No overload for method 'SetBool' takes 1 arguments

 

you need send state into it like SetBool("Move", false)
