what is making my animation not play?

Questions & Answers

Seriously i cant find anything anywhere to help with this so I finally made an account to ask. As far as I can tell all the code should work. And the animation for Jumping definitely works. I tried changing it with the Run and it worked fine. but for some reason in the jump function it refuses to actually animate in testing. please help.

Updated code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Movementology : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public float runSpeed = 10;
	public float runAnimSpeed = 1;
	public float walkSpeed = 4;
	public float rotateSpeed = 120;
	public float jumpSpeed = 300;
	public float jumpAnimSpeed = 1;
	
	//private bool isGrounded = false;
	private bool jumping = false;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		animation["Jump"].layer = 4;
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		float moveForward = runSpeed * Time.smoothDeltaTime * Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); 
		float moveBackward = walkSpeed * Time.smoothDeltaTime * Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
		//float moveLeft = moveSpeed * Time.smoothDeltaTime * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); 
		float rotate = rotateSpeed * Time.smoothDeltaTime * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); 
		
		if(!jumping && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
		{
			jumping = true;
			rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpSpeed);
			animation.CrossFade("Jumping");
		}	
		else if(Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0)
		{
			transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * moveForward);
			animation.CrossFade("Run");
		}
		else if(Input.GetAxis("Vertical") < 0)
		{
			transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * moveBackward);
			//animation.CrossFade("Run");
		}
		else
		{
			animation.CrossFade("Idle");
		}
		
	
		
		
		//transform.Translate(Vector3.left * moveLeft);
		transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, rotate);
	}
	
	void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision){
    	if(collision.contacts.Length > 0)
    	{
        	ContactPoint contact = collision.contacts[0];
        	if(Vector3.Dot(contact.normal, Vector3.up) > 0.5)
			{
				jumping = false;
			}
		}
	}

}

Give Jumping a higher layer in your animations. animation[“Jump”].layer = 4; this will give it higher priority than other animations. (I never read all the code but this should work).

if(!jumping && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space)){
jumping = true;
rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpSpeed);
animation.CrossFade(“Jumping”);
}else if(Input.GetAxis(“Vertical”) > 0){
transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * moveForward);
animation.CrossFade(“Run”);
}else if(Input.GetAxis(“Vertical”) < 0){
transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * moveBackward);
//animation.CrossFade(“Run”);
}else{
animation.CrossFade(“Idle”);
}

I would think your issue is that all input needs to be an if/else if. You first checked if the jump is on but you also checked after if the guy is not moving then cancelling the first animation assignment.

Putting them all in if/else if, the compiler stops checking when it finds one that is true.
