How to use 1 Key for 2 animations being played individually one after another

[Kurt-Dekker]

The issue im having is that pressing the same key again either repeatedly plays the torch coming to frame or simply bugs out between both animations playing.

That just sounds like a bug. But before you go too deep into debugging…

Anything with Animations / Animators / Mechanim:

Only consider the code AFTER you have done this critical step:

Always start with the Animator state machine and prove it works in isolation, no code at all.

Here’s more reading:

Press keyboard key to play animation using different animations per assigned key

With animation always start with the animator / animation setup itself. You can clear the scene, pull in the animated object, then while the game is running, use the Animator window to wiggle all the properties to make sure it does what you want when you set it. If you can’t get it to work by hand-setting the properties, nothing you do in code will matter, obviously. Usually for one-shot things like a dance you use .SetTrigger, not .SetBool… then mark the dance animation to cleanly exit on it…

NOW… once you are 100% sure the animation side of things is perfect, move to the code.

If it still doesn’t work then it is time to start debugging!

By debugging you can find out exactly what your program is doing so you can fix it.

Use the above techniques to get the information you need in order to reason about what the problem is.

You can also use Debug.Log(...); statements to find out if any of your code is even running. Don’t assume it is.

Once you understand what the problem is, you may begin to reason about a solution to the problem.
