If you need to press space 2 times to play the animation, You need to go in the CharacterController2D script and change on the line 130 the false to true. Hope this Helped!

[@IanAnimatesBagels]

GUYS! If you're jump animation isn't working: (starting for a split second before you leave the ground) you don't need to add any ridiculous code. you don't need to modify the character controller. All you need to do is go to both of the exit transitions from the jump animation and turn ON the "Has Exit Time" parameter.

[@IanAnimatesBagels]

(and also make sure your ground check is outside of your bottom collider)

[@omegachonker9987]

thanks this really saved me from insanity xd

[@omegachonker9987]

however you do have to set the jump animation to exactly the time you spend jumping otherwise you either end the animation in mid air and it looks really weird if you make it to short and if you make it too long then you end up on the floor looking like your falling anyone got a workaround?

its a nice tutorial, but using physics for 2d collisions is not efficient, physics is very expensive...you should use tiled based collisions instead...

[@xavierturcotte7777]

For those who had an error where Idle and Crouch animation are playing at the same time, when you click the player, at the top of the inspector you should see where it is written "Layer". By default the Layer is set to Default, so what you should do is add a new Layer called "player", set the player's layer to that new layer, and finally uncheck the layer at the "what is ground" in the character controller.

[@bguilleminot]

If anyone is having trouble with the jump animation, check that your ground's layer is set to "ground". Mine was in "default" layer and as soon I changed it to ground everything started working. Do what Dante says too: "find the ground radius variable [in character controller 2d script] and change it to a lower number like .05" Hope this helps

[@totallyrandompersob1664]

If the jumping animation doesn't work still, maybe try keeping on exit time for when it switches to idle or running. Don't keep Transition time. Only keep it for when it goes from Any State->Jumping. Turn off exit time too on Any State->Jumping. I hope it helps because it worked for me. Not the perfect solution, but it works. I know I'm coping and pasting on everything EDIT: don't do it it causes a weird glitch if you keep pressing the jump button in midair.

[@Arel_Kursat]

my character more like a meatball (the free unity asset with that red ball like character) and the slopes was not triggering the grounded bool in character controller. Normal terrain was fine even without any layering. Adding layer didn't worked so I went ahead and edit the character controller to add a second ground check and placed it both to each edges of the character and it worked wonderfully.

[@dominicbermea9828]

I couldn't figure out the first one, but the ground radius variable worked!

For those struggling with jumping animation playing for only one frame: 1. Go to somewhere around Line 127 2. Change "m_Grounded = false" to "m_Grounded = true" If you're having trouble finding this line, it should be after the following if statement: "if (m_Grounded && Jump)"

[@evewhoo]

This was a lifesaver! Thank you so much! Everything was explained very clearly.

[@licensetothrill]

In case he doesn't mention it in the video, there's a reason that sprite sheets and atlases were developed and are still used in games today. They greatly save on memory and runtime because only a single instance of the sprite array image is loaded into memory at once, and all draws simply render a specific sub-section of the same file pointer in memory. In Unity, you can see this in action with the batching stats. This is an important concept in any engine, however. Including ones like Unreal or Love2D or Godot or Lumberyard. It's an important concept regardless of the engine, language or technology.

[@guymen8]

IDK if anyone will see this comment But if your OnLanding is being called too soon and you don't want to change your jump force for whatever reason, try moving your ground check a little more to the center and actually a little higher than you would expect to be the "right" Y position. I set mine a little higher than what seemed correct (was right on the feet moved somewhere at shin level) and it worked perfectly

I had the same problem and I tried to erase the ! at line 67 , but that made the player uncrouch when stop pressing the crouch button even if there is a ceiling. What I did to solve the problem was to add a new Layer(not sorting layer) called player, put the player in that layer and finally disabling the player layer in the "what is ground" in the character controller.

Your On Land event is checking too soon and that's causing my character to stop jumping immediately after leaving the ground. Any idea on why this is happening and how I can fix it?

[@alizlatan4331]

I'm Confused same

[@teda-t6757]

Same here.. :/

[@teda-t6757]

I have found a solution that works for me - it may be the same reason for you. I needed to increase the Jump Force and it worked fine. I think it's because when the force is too low, the play doesn't leave the ground quick enough before the On Land event is called to ground it.

[@alizlatan4331]

Ted Alden-Templeman it didnt work (And do you know why the idle animation & crouching animation play both at the same time)?

[@d3athstalker]

Did you find an answer to this? The problem roots from the Character Controller 2D script but as of now I can't find a way to stop it from checking so fast EDIT: I actually just implemented something to delay this check from happening so quickly. This is the first thing that came to mind so it might not be the best option but you can download my edited script here : drive.google.com/file/d/1AMkNgVx0mRJHY9Jsiv_r5ifnYBuo7D94/view?usp=sharing I added a delay time variable which can be modified in the Unity Inspector under the Character Controller 2D script. If you use this script instead of the one supplied in the GIT repo it should work for you as well.

[@georgecobb1466]

Thanks so much for this. I was stuck but this really helped!

[@suryamdg]

For those of you who only see the Jump Animation for a split second this simple solution might work: *Solution:* Decrease the ground check radius and check if it works properly (if it still doesn't work decrease it even more). This also might not work if you have kept the game object that checks if touching ground too much below the player. *Explanation:* The reason why this is not working is that the program is checking for ground at that very split second of the jump since the program is updating too fast the animation check option keeps returning to false. If you decrease the radius of the ground check then by the time the program checks for ground the overlapping circle would have moved away from the ground due to low radius thus not overlapping anymore. *Don't add Exit time I know it works but the problem with that is it only works for fully flat ground, suppose you are jumping to a level higher than you then the sprite would be touching ground before the exit time is over thus remaining in jump animation for more time in spite of touching ground*

[@fanaticape295]

Same for me :(

[@Kardiiacc]

[@ethanevans2402]

I think it has something to do with his character controller script. If you look at the FixedUpdate function in his character controller he invokes the on land event whenever the character’s ground check intersects the ground and when the character was falling before that. The problem is that when your character jumps there is a split second where after you’ve jumped, the character’s ground check is still touching the ground, which means the character controller thinks you were just falling and just landed. This is why you can see the animation for a split second before it goes back to idle. Once you’re up in the air and press it again the animation plays because the ground check is far enough away from the ground to not trigger the event. Working on a solution right now.

[@provensi]

here guys private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) { if (collision.collider.gameObject.layer == 9) { OnLandEvent.Invoke(); } } delete where the another OnLandEvent.Invoke() is (FixedUpdate() i think), in my case the ground layer is 9, so change it if not yours

@@yuratwitch1093 So I am going over this again as well. I lost my last build and I don't think this works as well with the newer version because I'm having difficulty with my player jumping without animation let alone with the animation. Basically though go to 5:10 he talks about how you can create two animations for the jump up and down. I think that may fix the problem however how you do that I'm not sure yet. Continuing with how Brackey is doing it. Go to 6:15 where he explains the animator than jump to 7:48 where he goes over parameters then to 1216 where he explains how to set up the transition of going to jump anytime. The time stamp 13:38 and I believe this is what I was talking about a month ago when it transitions back to the idle animation make sure jumping equals false and that the speed is less than 0.01. I hope this helps. Just curious to what version you are using. If you don't mind.

[@mauriciocortespersonal]

is there a way to reuse the same animations (walk, jump, etc) with other sprites automatically? (to change player skins without creating all the animations again) i found a way but it must be a better way.... My way is hard to explain but is like this: - create an empty gameobject ("Player"?) with all the individual sprites in the same position x,y,z - use generic names for the sprites (frame1, frame2, frame3 or idle01, idle02, jump01) - in the animation you want to create (let's say: "Jump") you record and set the parameter Gameobject.isActive to false on all the sprites except the one you need to that keyframe (and repeat) - Done. If you want to create a different "Skin", just duplicate the previous gameobject ("Player") and change the sprites (using the inspector) without changing the names of the gameobjects containing the sprites. - All the animations and animator-controllers can be used with this new skin automatically! if you have 30 animations, you wont need to create 30 more for every skin, just duplicate the first skin and replace the sprites and you're ready! Note: i found there's another way (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn6UaKB3orGXbc0), replacing the 2D texture in the lateUpdate, the tutorial is from 2014 i haven't test it yet

[@PritamDavis]

the way you told is pretty impressive, and considering a player wouldnt have more than 30 images, 30 gameobjects also does not put load on the cpu, and also, no gameobjects are created or destroyed, just enabled and disabled... Yeah so ur solution is pretty cool

[@PritamDavis]

Cant think of a better way

[@thananjaijongrak7604]

I just install Unity and learn C# for like 2 months. So I wonder will my guess be usable? instead of duplicating 30 animators, can we apply with code? like create a pool of library and call the sprite that we actually need for player.

The weird thing is that my idle animtion plays just fine, it is a blinking animation and thus I know for sure that it actually overwrites the current player model. Any idea why it's happening?

[@MagnetiumWoop]

It happend to me too

[@CiaranChan]

Have you tried setting your character to a specific Character Sorting layer, and then putting that in front of your background? Try removing all your other assets by hitting the little eye symbol on their left and see if it still blinks. If not, it was a sorting issue.

There's no 'Player' getting created, so I can't use the player as the controller in the animator component. PLS HELP

[@ethanrogers2056]

little late but...Do you mean the animator controler? press "+" at the top of the assets window and add "animator controler."

Epic content. I've been hard at work. It's kewl.

SUPER AWESOME!!! I don't know why everyone is complaining. Everything in this video works fine and I'm making this game in 10/20 using the spaceman animation. All codes and everything else works fine. Honestly you just have to be patient and be able to problem solve. I feel people give up on themselves very easy. Trust me...I spent over 7 hours alone trying to get his crouch animation to work. i erased and rewrote the code...I went back and rewatched the video plenty of times...I am happy to say that yesterday i figured out the problems and I couldn't be more happier. It was a super easy fix which honestly pissed me off. As soon as i got it to all work. I saved the game and closed it. Thanks for everything and I plan to watch most of your vids.

i love it, just recently bought the aseprite and im willing to make my own videogame, these videos are a lot of help! ♥

[@TheEpicplushgod]

I am unsure why but when I do this for my own sprites for my game when I press play in the animation window it does not change the sprites at all, does anybody know why this is happening or a way to fix this? If so that would be very helpful!

Someone help!!! My jump animation only plays the fall animation at the peak of the jump. Before the peak it displays the idle animation also after the peak it plays the idle animation.... Help. It looks like my character is having a spasm

[@j.kkidding9764]

oh boy.. thats really hard man. I hope you find a solution to it!

[@erin2150]

Love the videos, thank you!

[@totallyrandompersob1664]

If the jumping animation doesn't work still, maybe try keeping on exit time for when it switches to idle or running. Don't keep Transition time. Only keep it for when it goes from Any State->Jumping. Turn off exit time too on Any State->Jumping. I hope it helps because it worked for me. Not the perfect solution, but it works. EDIT: don't do it it causes a weird glitch if you keep pressing the jump button in midair.

How do you add "Events" on a Script? i didn't use his Character Controller 2D script

[@Petesails]

I'm assuming you've got this now but for anyone else struggling at the top put - using UnityEngine.Events; then an attribute that says this - [SerializeField] UnityEvent OnLandEvent; then where you want to trigger the event - OnLandEvent.Invoke(); I managed to get the last 2 lines but i couldn't work out where i was going wrong for ages turns out you need to tell is to use the events thing at the top. That is really important aparently.

[@deepseaking1506]

@@Petesails thank you thank you THANK YOU

[@SuperMrMuster]

How do you change your sprites facing? I've been going back and forth in your video, but I can't find the part where you tell Unity to mirror the sprite if the character is moving left. For you, it just seems to work right out of the box. I wrote my movement script before watching this video, so I don't know if you have it somewhere in there.

[@jonathanzhu6917]

In the character controller, he uses a method called flip to flip the character depending on the direction its facing (it uses the horizontal input from the user, ie -1 is facing left, 1 is facing right)

NAILED IT!!!

[@joyousgaming4935]

"simply click and drag that into the animation." ME: clicks and drags *doesnt do anything* watches more video cant play the animation is more confused there is nothing simple about this

[@muhammadmohsen8732]

check this video out it might help you : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3OUlnargpemnKc

[@edwardcox7169]

unity is stupid. the gameobject you created the animator for HAS TO BE SELECTED to drag sprites into the animator.

[@blackphant8399]

@@muhammadmohsen8732 No its not help... its same

[@jadonmullinex9389]

You need to select the object that you want to animate. If you want to animate an object named "Player", click on player in the Heirarchy or scene.

[@Demigodish4o3]

For some reason the idle transitions to crouching animation without me pressing anything. The "isCrouching" Parameter keeps going On and Off automatically :(

[@BerlandMedia]

I have the same problem.. Did you find a fix for it?

[@oooriuken]

Check if your player has the "Player" layer assigned

[@BerlandMedia]

Worked for me! Thank you :D

[@oooriuken]

Also the attribute “What Is Ground” of “Character Controller 2D” need to have everything selected except for that “Player” layer

[@harperhejter7766]

I have the same issue. Player is on a player layer , tilemap is on a default layer and "what is ground" have everything selected except for Player layer
