Crazy weird input script order glitch please help!

Questions & Answers

Unity will ONLY handle one of either my “walkLeft” or “walkRight” animations, depending on which one comes LAST in the order of the code:

So if I put this:

   if ( Input.GetButton("left") ) {
		dude.animation["walkLeft"].speed = 1;
		dude.animation.CrossFade("walkLeft");
		print("left");
	}
	if ( Input.GetButton("right") ) {
		dude.animation["walkRight"].speed = 1;
		dude.animation.CrossFade("walkRight");
		print("right");
	}

then “walkRight” will work when “right” is pressed, but “walkLeft” WILL NOT WORK when “left” is pressed.

Or, alternately, if I put this:

   if ( Input.GetButton("right") ) {
		dude.animation["walkRight"].speed = 1;
		dude.animation.CrossFade("walkRight");
		print("left");
	}
	if ( Input.GetButton("left") ) {
		dude.animation["walkLeft"].speed = 1;
		dude.animation.CrossFade("walkLeft");
		print("right");
	}

then “walkLeft” will work when “left” is pressed, but “walkRight” WILL NOT WORK when “right” is pressed.

print(“right”); and print(“left”); always work regardless of the order. What am I doing wrong here?!?! I’m banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.

Full code:

function FixedUpdate () {
if( lockControls == false) {
	if (Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1")){
		idling = false;
		lockControls = true;
		cleanSound.PlayOneShot(cleanSound.clip);
		dudeControl.animation.Stop("guy_walk_sounds");
		dude.animation.CrossFade("clean");
		controlUnlock();
	}
	if ( Input.GetButton("left") ) {
		dude.animation["walkLeft"].speed = 1;
		dude.animation.CrossFade("walkLeft");
		print("left");
	}
	if ( Input.GetButton("right") ) {
		dude.animation["walkRight"].speed = 1;
		dude.animation.CrossFade("walkRight");
		print("right");
	}
	else{
		dude.animation["walkLeft"].speed = 0;
		dude.animation["walkRight"].speed = 0;
		dudeControl.animation.Stop("guy_walk_sounds");
		idling = true;
		Idle();
	}	
	
	var keyboardX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * keyboardSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
	var newPos = rigidbody.position + Vector3( (-keyboardX*walkDirec), 0, 0); 
	if (newPos.x < -1.66){
		newPos.x = -1.66;
	}
	else if (newPos.x > 1.52){
		newPos.x = 1.52;
	}
	rigidbody.MovePosition(newPos); // Move the object.
}

}

This might not be the source of the problem but here’s what I’m seeing:

if (Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1")){
        //...
    }
    if ( Input.GetButton("left") ) {
        //...
    }
    if ( Input.GetButton("right") ) {
        //...
    }
    else{
        //...
    }

Why do you only have 1 else for the entire block of ifs? If you are doing what I think you’re trying to do, you need to this (one else per if):

    if (Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1")){
        //...
    }
    else if ( Input.GetButton("left") ) {
        //...
    }
    else if ( Input.GetButton("right") ) {
        //...
    }
    else{
        //...
    }

I’m unsure if that will solve your problem, but it might.
