Why If condition is ignore

Unity Engine

Character main script:

switch (actionMode)
        {          

            case RobotActionMode.Defend:

                mode = "defend";
                // Defend Idle animation finish, resume other animation
                if (Time.time > defendModeTime+defendTimer)
                {
                    animator.SetTrigger("Defend Idle End");

                    defendTimer = Time.time;

                    actionMode = RobotActionMode.Targeting;
                }
                break;

            case RobotActionMode.Targeting:

                mode = "target";
                target = UpdateEnemyRange();

                t = target;

                if (enemyInAttackRange.Count != 0)
                    actionMode = RobotActionMode.RotateToTarget;
                else               
                    actionMode = RobotActionMode.PathFinding;
                                 
                break;
            case RobotActionMode.RotateToTarget:
                mode = "rotate";
                RotateToTarget(target.position);

                if (TargetDirectionCheck(target))
                    actionMode = RobotActionMode.Attacking;                   

                break;


            case RobotActionMode.Attacking:
                mode = "attack";
                // pick the closest enemy that LOS and direction OK
                // select highest damage weapon
                weaponSelected = WeaponSelector();

                // fire weapon
                if (weaponSelected != 99)
                {                   
                        weapon[weaponSelected].coolDownCounter = Time.time;

                        // Make sure the target is in standby mode, and also forbid it to switch to other mode when melee

                        if (weapon[weaponSelected].type == "Melee")
                    {
                        if (target.GetComponent<RobotAI>().actionMode != RobotActionMode.Attacking)
                        {
                        //    target.GetComponent<RobotAI>().actionMode = RobotActionMode.Defend;

                            actionMode = RobotActionMode.Waiting;
                            WeaponFire();


                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        actionMode = RobotActionMode.Waiting;
                        WeaponFire();

                    }

                }
                else
                    actionMode = RobotActionMode.Targeting;


                break;

            case RobotActionMode.Waiting:       // Waiting Weapon Effect Finish
                mode = "waiting";

                break;

The only function that can change RobotActionMode to defend, that is also inside the character main script:

  public void Defend()
    {
        // defend cool down ok, robot is not using weapon now, not already in defend mode
        if (Time.time > defendCoolDown + defendTimer && actionMode!=RobotActionMode.Waiting && actionMode!= RobotActionMode.Attacking && actionMode!=RobotActionMode.Defend)
        {
            animator.SetBool("Walking", false);

            if (shieldL == true)
               animator.SetTrigger("Left Shield Defend");
            else if(shieldR == true)
               animator.SetTrigger("Right Shield Defend");
            else
                animator.SetTrigger("Hands Defend");

            Debug.Log(mode + " -> defend");


            actionMode = RobotActionMode.Defend;
            defendTimer = Time.time;
           
        }
    }

Other objects call following scripts in their own fixedupdate:

    void DefendSignalSend()
    {

        RaycastHit hit;

        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.forward, out hit, sensorOffset) && hit.transform.GetComponent<RobotAI>())
            hit.transform.GetComponent<RobotAI>().Defend();

    }

I can see in the debug log, RobotActionMode change from waiting to defend. Why the if condition in Defend() is ignored?

If the If (time.time > defendcooldown … is triggering
but the if(shieldl == true) isn’t, then that means shieldl doesn’t equal true…Debug what shieldl and shieldr are returning to see if either is true.

I know the problem, the animation controller and fixedupdate not update at same speed. Fixedupdate is much faster.
