Mecanim animation, playing once

Questions & Answers
1

I really hate the mecanim animation system, i can’t simply do animation.play("blabla"); i need to do a lot of things just to play an animation lol.

so, i’m here to ask someone how i can play an animation just once, i press a button, and it just play ONCE the animation. i’ve tryed that:

public Animator weaponAnim;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

		if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) {
			StartCoroutine("Shoot");
		}

	}

	public IEnumerator Shoot () {
		
		weaponAnim.SetBool("inShoot", true);

		yield return new WaitForSeconds (weaponAnim["Shoot"].lenght);
		
		weaponAnim.SetBool("inShoot", false);
		
	}

and another thing i need is: how can i get an animation lenght? i used weaponAnim["blabla"].lenght, but it gives me errors.

Main Question: In the Project folder, find the animation, and make sure it’s NOT set to looping. Once you remember a few basic things to check for the animation system, it’s cake. I made a game with custom animations in a 48 hour game jam recently, would never use anything but Unity to attempt this.

“Another thing”: animation[“ani-name”].length is the correct way to do it. Post a new question with the error messages so someone else can solve it…

Both might be solved by setting up the animation properties properly in the Project folder, i suspect that’s where ure main problem lies.
