So i have this script that calls to get the sway script and it seemed to take dominance over the animator. How could i make it so that both can happen at the same time?
Here is the sway script.

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




public class Sway : MonoBehaviour
{
    #region Variables

    public float intensity;
    public float smooth;
    public bool isMine;

    private Quaternion origin_rotation;

    #endregion



    #region MonoBehaviour Callbacks

    private void Start()
    {
        origin_rotation = transform.localRotation;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
       
        UpdateSway();
    }

    #endregion



    #region Private Methods

    private void UpdateSway ()
    {
        //controls
        float t_x_mouse = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
        float t_y_mouse = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

        if(!isMine)
        {
            t_x_mouse = 0;
            t_y_mouse = 0;
        }

        //calculate target rotation
        Quaternion t_x_adj = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-intensity * t_x_mouse, Vector3.up);
        Quaternion t_y_adj = Quaternion.AngleAxis(intensity * t_y_mouse, Vector3.right);
        Quaternion target_rotation = origin_rotation * t_x_adj * t_y_adj;

        //rotate towards target rotation
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.localRotation, target_rotation, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
    }

    #endregion
}

Your Sway-script attempts to set transform.localRotation, which is also what the Animator tries to do. They both want to set the rotation of your object, each frame. Since the Sway script is called after the Animator, whatever the Animator does is overwritten.

One way to go about this would be to not set the rotation in your script, but to add it. That would take whatever rotation is set by the Animator, and add your rotation on top, so both effects would be active.

My guess would be though that the rotations would still fight with each other, which is why the best option might be to find a way to achieve what you’re trying todo with either an Animator or a script, not both.
