Why is my shoot animation always looping?

Questions & Answers
1

The reload animation works when I run out of ammo, but when I click the shoot button (left click) once the animation will loop endlessly. How do I stop this? I’ve attached two pictures for you guys to check out. Plz help I’m quite new to Unity and I’d really like to carry on :stuck_out_tongue:

You are not setting the Shoot bool on the animator to false except for when the reload happens.

Two solutions depending on design:

You want to play the animation once per click (no continuous shooting)

  • Use a trigger instead of a bool (it will automatically switch off after triggered) and use time as exit condition for the animation
  • set the Shoot bool to false from scrip once the animation was triggered

You want to play the animation as long as the button is held:

  • Check Input.GetButtonUp(“Fire1”) in a separate condition to set the Shooting bool to false
