Need help for 3rd person controller and animation

Unity Engine
1

Hi, I’m trying to add new states to 3rd Person Character Controller but I have some problems, all the animation are working but when I press my “Interact” button nothing happens

function Update(){
	if(Input.GetButtonDown("Interact")){
		_characterState = CharacterState.Interacting;
	}

	UpdateSmoothedMovementDirection();
	
	// Apply gravity
	// - extra power jump modifies gravity
	// - controlledDescent mode modifies gravity
	ApplyGravity ();

	
	// Calculate actual motion
	var movement = moveDirection * moveSpeed + Vector3 (0, verticalSpeed, 0);// + inAirVelocity;
	movement *= Time.deltaTime;
	
	// Move the controller
	var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	collisionFlags = controller.Move(movement);
	
	// ANIMATION sector
	if(_animation){
		if(_characterState == CharacterState.Idle || controller.velocity.sqrMagnitude < 0.1  _characterState != CharacterState.Interacting){
			_characterState = CharacterState.Idle;
			_animation.CrossFade(idleAnimation.name);
		}
		
		if(_characterState == CharacterState.Running){
			_animation[runAnimation.name].speed = Mathf.Clamp(controller.velocity.magnitude, 0.0, runMaxAnimationSpeed);
			_animation.CrossFade(runAnimation.name);
		}
			
		if(_characterState == CharacterState.Trotting){
			_animation[walkAnimation.name].speed = Mathf.Clamp(controller.velocity.magnitude, 0.0, trotMaxAnimationSpeed);
			_animation.CrossFade(walkAnimation.name);	
		}
				
		if(_characterState == CharacterState.Walking){
			_animation[walkAnimation.name].speed = Mathf.Clamp(controller.velocity.magnitude, 0.0, walkMaxAnimationSpeed);
			_animation.CrossFade(walkAnimation.name);	
		}
				
		if(_characterState == CharacterState.Interacting){
			_animation[walkAnimation.name].speed = walkMaxAnimationSpeed;
			_animation.CrossFade(walkAnimation.name);
		}
		
		
		//UNITY'S ANIMATION CODE
		/*
		if(controller.velocity.sqrMagnitude < 0.1) {
			_characterState = CharacterState.Idle;
			_animation.CrossFade(idleAnimation.name);
		}
			
		else{
			if(_characterState == CharacterState.Running){
				_animation[runAnimation.name].speed = Mathf.Clamp(controller.velocity.magnitude, 0.0, runMaxAnimationSpeed);
				_animation.CrossFade(runAnimation.name);
			}
			
			else if(_characterState == CharacterState.Trotting){
				_animation[walkAnimation.name].speed = Mathf.Clamp(controller.velocity.magnitude, 0.0, trotMaxAnimationSpeed);
				_animation.CrossFade(walkAnimation.name);	
			}
				
			else if(_characterState == CharacterState.Walking){
				_animation[walkAnimation.name].speed = Mathf.Clamp(controller.velocity.magnitude, 0.0, walkMaxAnimationSpeed);
				_animation.CrossFade(walkAnimation.name);	
			}
				
			else if(_characterState == CharacterState.Interacting){
				Debug.Log("BlaBla");
				_animation[walkAnimation.name].speed = jumpAnimationSpeed;
				_animation.CrossFade(jumpPoseAnimation.name);
			}
		}	
		*/	
	}
		
	// ANIMATION sector
	
	// Set rotation to the move direction
	if(IsGrounded()){		
		transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection);			
	}	
	
	else{
		var xzMove = movement;
		xzMove.y = 0;
		if(xzMove.sqrMagnitude > 0.001){
			transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(xzMove);
		}
	}	
}

Can someone help me?

If I change CrossFade with Play something happens (a couple of frames are played) but I don’t think that this is the right way…

No one?

Your using your walk animation for the interaction.

Another thing you can do is to separate the motor script from controller and animator, i do this way one script to each kind of controller it will make your code clean and let you identfy problems in a easy way.

best of luck
