Crouch State

Questions & Answers
1

Hello, I am a bit new to programming (I am a 3d artist) so please excuse me if its a stupid question :stuck_out_tongue: Currently I am making an FPS and I have first person legs that are animated. Right now the legs work fine, however I am trying to make a state system. When the player presses “C” the player crouches and when the player presses “C” again the player uncrouches (a toggle function). So for the legs I wanted to create a state system so if the player presses “C” the Crouch State is active and vise versa. So if the player presses “W” while the Crouch State is active, the Crouch Walk Forward Animation plays (not just the walk animation.) Here is a piece of my code that I tried to make for the toggle state.

        //Crouch Anim
//Toggle
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C)){
    Crouch=true;
    Debug.LogWarning ("Crouch is true");

}

if (Crouch==true){
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C)){
        Crouch=false;
        Debug.LogWarning ("Crouch is false");
    }
         }

You probably want Input.GetKeyDown or Input.GetKeyUp. Input.GetKey will return true every frame that the key is down, not just when it changes.

Also, here’s a simpler way to write that whole block:

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C)){
    Crouch=!Crouch;
    Debug.LogWarning ("Crouch is " + Crouch);
}
