Idle, Run and Jump Animations - Platformer Unity 2D

*FREE animation package on my Patreon!*
Hi! This video shows an easy way to animate your 2D platformer character. We'll animate their Idle, Running and Jumping animations! We'll use a blend tree to keep the controller super clean.
We'll also be using blend trees to create the cleanest animator controller for your project.
I start off with the project we made in our 2D Platformer Movement video:
• Platformer Player Move...
I used this asset by ZeggyGames for our sprite animation base:
zegley.itch.io/2d-platformerm...
All source code for all videos I have made and will make in the future can be found on my Patreon (the script for the player movement is on there for free!):
/ 2d-platformer-83575703
I'll be posting new videos every Friday, so be sure to subscribe to see what kind of adventure we can go on together! I'm excited! :-)

SUBBED Thank you so much for your work!! And also your Harry Potter accent and voice makes it even better! Also, adorable sprites, and loved the Mother 3 menu arrenged theme at the end! I NEED MORE

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Hehe thank you!! You’re the first person to notice the mother 3 music 😈 it’s mother 3 for the intro song too, but the intro is pretty quiet! I’ll keep working hard for you 🫡

[@Zegley19]

Hey - looks good! Cool use of the asset pack

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Thank you!! Your assets are all so cool - I had to use one in a vid! :-)) Thank you for your cool assets!

[@jazioxmugen]

Congratulations on 1,000 subscribers! It's cool to see a modern Unity tutorial!

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Thank you!!! I didn’t imagine even getting 100 subs, but I’m glad so many people can enjoy and find help from my vids :-) I’ll keep working on cleaner and better Unity tutorials for as long as I can! I want everyone to feel like that can make whatever they want 🙏 thanks for the support!

[@monkelios]

thanks a LOT you really helped! idk how you only have 1k subs honestly

[@jawavoncherie]

Thank you

[@Th3M729]

That clarity stuttering was crazy!!! Good video

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Thank you :-) So satisfying to see it get fixed right!

[@superiormirage321]

Thank you for the video! Cant wait for more.

[@GameCodeLibrary]

You’re welcome I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I try to post one every week, haven’t missed one yet 🫡🙌

[@Themediocredude]

My movement code was different so i had to make a new “void” where it checks if the numbers are negatives or positives and it flips them using the sprite renderer. Also your voice is so calming and great tutorial, helped me a lot.

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Thank you! Glad you got it to work for you too!! 🙏

[@ines4728]

love your videos!!!

Thank you 🥲🙏

[@bluzenkk]

[wears helmet] i'm very thankful for any YTubers dev creating contents like this. not complain, just suggeting: If this vid was relese 10 years ago, I bet it will catch alot of views. but nowdays YT has alot of these Unity beginner series. so I would suggest either make intermediate level tutorials or publish videos daily so your channel won't be at the bottom of the KZbin algorithm list. Otherwise, you wont get much satisfaction result. Content creators should understand that viewers will only subscribe when they find the information very useful and unique to them. also, its worth methioning that if you are doing pixel art animation, you might want to introduce the unity semi-official aseprite pack that will auto make the animator and clips for you using the tags in aseprite.

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Yes I plan on doing more advanced and unique stuff! For my own sake of learning how to edit vids and having a library of easier content to reference viewers back to, I started with beginner stuff. I’m a full time senior dev when I’m not making KZbin vids, so I won’t be able to do one a day! 😝 I appreciate your views and suggestions!! I’m in no rush to get lots of views, I’m enjoying creating lil vids for now 😇 I have a list of almost 100 video plans though!! So hopefully some of those are more interesting for everyone!

[@pixlerin]

Good job, great video! Will you do 2d top-down tutorials in the future?

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Yes I will! Top down is my favourite way to make games since you can do so much with it. I have over 70 video ideas planned 😂 covering the basics with platformer first since it’s simplest! Thanks so much!

[@pixlerin]

@@GameCodeLibrary wow cool! Looking forward to all of them 😄

[@kadamnable]

cute sprite great video!!

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Thank you!!! I’m thinking of making a mini cat burglar game inspired by the sprite I think that’d be fun!

[@parthchavan5542]

Thx so much :)

[@GameCodeLibrary]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed 🙏

[@kozmobotgames]

Amazing tutorial! I have already made two games that are available on the Play Store 😀

[@GameCodeLibrary]

Nice work! Glad you enjoyed!

[@mollylochrie4755]

Great and very clear tutorial!!! I love your skeddadling cat man! Just wondering if there’s an alternative to the Math.Abs??? My unity isn’t accepting it for some reason :(

[@GameCodeLibrary]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!! That's strange for Math.Abs not to work... What it does is flip a negative number to a positive - if it is negative. Instead you can check if the number is less than 0 then do *-1 E.g: if(myNumber < 0) { myNumber = myNumber * -1; } Hope this helps!

thank you so much!!! @@GameCodeLibrary

can you show us how you copy animation from asperite to your cat character?

Weird! You can download the package of my animations for free on my patreon and compare it to yours to see if you can find the difference 🙏

[@blackpop654]

what software did you use to implement the sprite assets and create your sprite?

[@GameCodeLibrary]

I used Aseprite! I use the free version, but you can buy it online too.

[@iam_river]

Sorry I keep bothering you 😅 When I edited the code for animation, it sent 2 errors. 'Animator' is a type but is used like a variable The name 'Math' does not exist in the current context I think it's something I wrote. Do you think it's possible to give me the code that I can copy and paste?
