I am using a click to move mechanic for my game and I am now doing the animation, but the vertical and horizontal positions are not changing in the animator and so no walking or idle animation occur for the object, I am new to unity and coding so I am abit stuck atm.

This is my coding for the player movement:

```

private Vector3 target;

void Start()
{
    target = transform.position;
}

void Update()
{
    float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    // Set the horizontal and vertical values in the animator
    anim.SetFloat("Horizontal", horizontal);
    anim.SetFloat("Vertical", vertical);
    
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
        target = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
        target.z = transform.position.z;
    }

    transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

}
