Hey there, I’m a quite new to game-coding, but after coding all the gameplay elements of my horror-game I started creating a dirty and simple AI-system using mecanim animations and here comes the problem.
Codesnippets below the explanaition!
Problem: the mecanim animations for the enemy restart every-frame
Setup:
-
the capsule has my “aisystem”-script to move/attack/idle the position of the enemy and the “lookattarget”-script to get the players direction.
-
the two sphere-collider “WALKRANGE”(scale(4/4/4)) & “ATTACKRANGE”(scale(2/2/2)) have a simple OnTriggerEnter/exit-script wich correspond with the “aisystem”-script.
-
unitychan’s animations get called through booleans in the update() of the “aisystem”-script
Desired Outcome: the Capsule moves the unity-chan model while she plays corresponding animations
(walk forward / attack / idle)
I really appreciate any kind of help! Since my Idea was to call the animations in a while-loop in the update() 
If you know any fitting tutorials, if possible readable ones, be sure to post them!
All necessary pictures and codesnippets are added below!
and sry for my english,
Kim
