setting ai animation?

Unity Engine
1

How would you go about setting the animation of an ai? For example, running, idle etc. animation.Player(); does not seem to work for me?

Assuming you’re using legacy,

You’ll need to access the animation component and then type:

animation.Play(“animation name”);

3

Do you only need animation playing part of the script or also AI movement?

function Update(){
       animation.Play("AnimationName");
}

And if you are using mecanim just use variable of the type Animator, get the components of Animator on the script. And then just

nameOfAnimatorValue.SetBool/Float…(“nameOfTheVariableOnTheAnimator”,true(bool)/false(bool) or floatnumber(float))

something like this.

animator.SetBool(“Shoot”,true); animador.SetBool(“Shoot”,false);

Don’t do it this way.

This is performance heavy.

You can do it through start.

void Start()
{
animaion[“CLIPNAME”].wrapmode = WrapMode.loop;
animation.play(“ClipNAME”);
}
