Player Can Only Attack When Not Grounded

Questions & Answers

I want to make it so the player can only attack while in mid-air and is not grounded. So when you first tap, he only jumps, but when you are in mid-air, he will attack. I tried and tried to figure out but could never solve it.

Player Script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Player : MonoBehaviour {

	public float jumpPower = 555f;

	public bool grounded = false;

	private Rigidbody2D rb2d;

	private playerAttack player;

	void Start () 
	{
		rb2d = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
		anim = gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();
		player = GameObject.Find("Player").GetComponent<playerAttack>();

	}

	void Update() 
	{
	
		anim.SetBool("Grounded",grounded);
		anim.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(rb2d.velocity.x));

		if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && grounded)
		{
			rb2d.AddForce(Vector2.up * jumpPower);
		}
		
	}
}

playerAttack Script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class playerAttack : MonoBehaviour {
	
	private bool attacking = false;

	private float attackTimer = 0;
	private float attackCd = 0.125f;
	public bool grounded = true;
	
	public Collider2D attackTrigger;
	private Animator anim;
	private Player player;
	
	void Start()
	{
		player = GameObject.Find("Player").GetComponent<Player>();
	}
	void Awake()
	{
		anim = gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();
		attackTrigger.enabled = false;
	}
	void Update()
	{

		if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && !attacking &&  // possibly another bool)
		{
			
			attacking = true;
			attackTimer = attackCd;

			attackTrigger.enabled = true;
			
		}
		
		if (attacking)
		{
			if(attackTimer > 0)
			{
				attackTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
			}
			else
			{
				attacking = false;
				attackTrigger.enabled = false;
			}
			
		}

		anim.SetBool("Attacking", attacking);
		
	}
	
}

Ground Check Script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class GroundCheck : MonoBehaviour {

	private Player player;

	void Start()
	{
		player = gameObject.GetComponentInParent<Player>();

	}
	
	void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
	{
		player.grounded = true;
	}

	void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D col)
	{
		player.grounded = true;
	}

	void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D col)
	{
		player.grounded = false;
	}
	
}

I don’t really see any logic error in this code that would stop the player from attacking. My guess is that the problem is in the animator itself. When the player is touching the ground the isGrounded bool is set, so if the player attacks both the isGrounded and isAttacking bools will be set. This most likely creates a conflict where the grounded animation plays over the attack animation. when jumping the bool isGrounded is no longer set and the attacking animation plays.
