Need help changing animations from script!

[unity_368840F1D2C7DA592744]

So I am working on a game, and trying to make a nice fpscontroller with some working animations.

Everything has been working fine until I wanted to add a CrouchIdle animation. I hade a CrouchWalk animation, but it looks kinda scuffed if you stop move and the characters legs keeps on walking. I have tried a lot of different fixes, but nothing seems to work. I have a param in Animator called "crouch", meant to be on the idle one. I have another call "CrouchWalkForward". All other animations works perfect, but I need this to work with wether I’m moving or idling.

This is what I got:

The behavior depends on how your state transition conditions are set up in the Animator. But I expect the problem is that you never set CrouchWalkForward to false. You should probably set this bool to false when you are not crouch walking.

  if(isActuallyMoving)
  {
      animator.SetBool("CrouchWalkForward", true);
  }
  else
  {
      animator.SetBool("CrouchWalkForward", false);
      animator.SetBool("Crouch", true);
  }

Animator Controller also has something called “Layers”. You can use it for animations that should run at the same time another animation is running.

Add a new layer and set up the crouch transition there. Don’t forget to change the “weight” of the layer
