Before someone says to google it, I have been searching for an hour now. I want to trigger an animation through code and not through the animator component bubbles
I am working on a 2D platformer and all I need is to play a animation in code. With 3D animation it is really easy. Your make the animation, convert it to legacy and
GetComponent(Animation).Play("ThingYouWantToPlay");
I have been searching for a few hours and all the documentation I can find on 2D animation is with the animator component and you need to set up the animator bubbles and set an idle animation ect. I don’t want to do this because I am working on a project that doesn’t have the normal physics of a typical platformer and my player will sometimes be walking on walls or around a small planet.
The code:
private var direction : boolean = false;
private var isWalking : boolean = false;
function Update(){
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)){
//Play the walkingRight animation and loop it
isWalking == true;
direction == false;
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D)){
//Stop the walkingRight animation
}
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)){
//Play the walkingLeft animation and loop it
isWalking == true;
direction == true;
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)){
//Stop the walkingLeft animation
}
if(isWalking == false && direction == false){
//Play the looking right idle animation
}
if(isWalking == false && direction == true){
//Play the looking left idle animation
}
}
If anyone could guide me in the right direction that would be awesome!

The reason that the tutorials don’t help me is because it uses the new animation state system and i don’t need something this complex. All I want to do is play an animation via code.
