How to change a bool in the animator using C#

Questions & Answers
1

I am a beginner and am trying to make a 2D game. I am trying to get my character to grow legs once I collect a collectible. Once he grows legs I would like it to have a different walk or move animation. To do this I set up conditions in the animator. I tried to change them in C# but it is not working.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CharacterController : MonoBehaviour {

	bool ball = true;
	bool legs = false;

Animator anim;

void Start () {
anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
	}
void Update ()
	{
if (ball = true) {
			anim.SetBool ("Ball", true);
			anim.SetBool ("Legs", false);
			hands = false;
			legs = false;
		}
		if (legs = true) {
			anim.SetBool ("Legs", true);
			anim.SetBool ("Ball", false);
			ball = false;
		}
	}
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
	{
		if (col.gameObject.tag == "Leg Thingy") {
			legs = true;
		}
	}
}

There is a difference in =(assignment operator) and ==(comparison operator) operators.

You should try change your conditions like:

if(ball == true)  // <--- notice `==`
{

}
