Leaning animation

Unity Engine
1

okay… so i’ve tried but failed, im trying to make it so when the player holds “Q” the player leans to the left with an animation.

heres my code so far:

function Update () {
		// INPUT
		 var isLeaningL : boolean = false;
			if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Q)){
					isLeaningL = true;
					print('leaning');
				}
			if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Q)){
					isLeaningL = false;
					print('notleaning'); 
				}
			
		// ACTIONS	
		animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Clamp;

		if(isLeaningL) {
		animation.CrossFade("leanL");
		}	
		if(isLeaningL == false) {
		animation.CrossFade("idle",1);	
	}
	}

this will get me as far as making the whole screen shift a tiny amount in about one frame (as if both animations are being played at the same time?)

im just look for a bit of code that will: on Q down play the animation leanL and then hold the last frame in the animation, then on Q up return to idle…
any help or direction would be most appreciated :slight_smile:

Hey dude,

Input.GeyKeyDown will only happen momentarily (as the key is pressed down), check your console and you’ll see print(‘leaning’); only happens once.
Try using just Input.GetKey, that will recognise holding the key down.

i always thought that, that meant for as long as a key is down its true, and yehh. well thats nice to know,
thank you very much :slight_smile:

Actually so did I 'till recently :slight_smile:

Hey, also it might be better to put the wrap mode stuff in the start function so it only gets called once,

function Start(){
	animation["leanL"].wrapMode = WrapMode.ClampForever;
}

Or even better, in the import settings for your object. (look down the bottom of this image)
