How to stop animations from cancelling out each other - C#

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I’m new to Unity and game engines in general. I’m trying to make a 3rd person 1v1 sort of game, but I’m stuck with animations. I have set up basic movement animations but when I would press a key such as ‘W’ to move the character forward, the walk animation would play forever. Furthermore, if I press ‘Space’ to Jump and then right after press another animation key, the Jump animation would instantly cancel out and play the other animation.

What I’m wondering is how do I stop the ‘Jump’ animation from canceling when I press another key and how do I make movement animation play only when holding down the key and stopping them when I let go. (FYI, the anim.Stop command doesn’t work for some reason).
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out!

Thanks a lot!

My animation code is below:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class KnightAnim : MonoBehaviour {

	private Animator anim;


	void Start () {

		anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
	}

	void Update () {

		if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump"))
			anim.Play ("Jump");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow))
			anim.Play ("Walk");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.W))
			anim.Play ("Walk");
			
		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Q))
			anim.Play ("Run");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
			anim.Play ("StrafeLeft");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
			anim.Play ("StrafeLeft");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
			anim.Play ("StrafeRight");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
			anim.Play ("StrafeRight");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.DownArrow))
			anim.Play ("WalkBack");

		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S))
			anim.Play ("WalkBack");
		
		if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.E))
			anim.Play ("RunJump");
	}
}

public Animator aa;
// Use this for initialization

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

	if (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal") == 0) {
		//it means that youre not pushing move keys [ a left arrow , d right arrow]
		aa.Play("idle");

	}
	if (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Horizontal") != 0) {
		//it means that youre   pushing move keys [ a left arrow , d right arrow]

		aa.Play("run");

	}
