How to Animate Characters in Unity 3D | Animation Transitions With Booleans

[@CosmicComputer]

This might be the best tutorial series for unity I have ever found. I love the way you explain each component and function in detail, but do it in a clean/quick way. Thank Nicky, these are awesome and you have a new fan!

[@EndZee]

Yeah, I want to learn how to make a game. One of basics features i found on this channel. To be honest they are really amazing and easy to understand. Hope there will be more tutorials. Wish you luck because content you are doing is great. Simply as that.

[@NephariusAMG]

I know!!! I’m a fan! Lol it’s gonna help me so much!

[@kingdom216]

How can you say this is helpful, it doesn't show how to add other animations to the character. I have a character that just walks in place, and I can't figure out how to add jumping and other animations. He goes too fast and no matter how many times I have rewound it I am still confused on parts. I copied the code changing isWalkingHash to isJumpingHash and followed suit for the rest of the script changing "W" to "space bar" and it doesn't work. This feels like half of a tutorial, where is the rest of it?

[@AphixDev]

Coming from a ue4 background, these tutorials are extremely useful! The Unity animation system was once one of the seven mysteries of dev for me XD

[@georsonchua]

really love the visual breakdowns. even if I already know how they work, how you show them on the breakdown make me think, understand, and remember it better. those checking also is a great plus as it make me not lose where you are at.

[@andythedishwasher1117]

I found it simpler to use a single int condition rather than bools. That way, I have one moveState that can be referenced in each transition where 0 is idle, 1 is walk, 2 is run, -1 is walk backward, and -2 is run backward. Then each new animation you want to add to the controller can simply be assigned a similar id of sorts and transitions to and from the relevant states can be set up for the scenarios where they're assigned in scripts. That just felt more intuitive to me, but this works too.

I looked for days, days! For someone, anyone who could explain clearly and simply how to make an animator controller.

[@Soulzjd2]

I started messing with programming when I was maybe 9-10 years old and I am now freaking 40 years old and when pressing the W key up and down, watching the idle/walk happen... legit was the same feeling I got back when I was a small child and made a computer print "hello" :D Wish you the best with the videos m8 ... appreciate the time taken to make timestamps and how to breakdown each element. If I had gold stars to give you get one for sure.

I like how you're sysinct, show visual stuff to help people like me with ADD stay on task, and explain things, as opposed to "do this, do this and do this!"

[@fillman86]

that being said, I found this to be more useful, instead of getting button presses - float horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); float vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"); Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical); if (direction.magnitude >= 0.1f) { animator.SetBool("isWalking", true); } if (direction.magnitude

If you get a Hash error, just double check that the spelling and case of the code used matches the names and cases you've given things in Unity. So isWalking in unity should be "isWalking" in your code.

just to complete, the whole idle/wlak/run takes 6 lines, the rest of is a animator transition parameters matter : void Update() { bool walkButtonPressed = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W); bool runButtonPressed = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.X); if(runButtonPressed && walkButtonPressed) { walkButtonPressed = !walkButtonPressed; } animator.SetBool("isWalking", walkButtonPressed); animator.SetBool("isRunning", runButtonPressed); }

[@ericvivianmatthews]

learned so much from just one video. You are so good at explaing the coding parts too so easy to understand.

[@djbonner1026]

Hi Nicky, I just discovered your channel. You are such a good teacher and do everything right. I've been trying to find good tutorials on Unity for a few months, and I just end up getting lost because Unity has too many options I don't understand and they assume I know things that aren't obvious. I appreciate how you not only show us how to do things, but you also go through and explain what each option does. I also appreciate how you break down things into timestamped sections. As a learner, I pause after each section and ask myself if I understood everything. If not, it's not a big time commitment to go back and review as many times as it takes to let it all soak in. For most tutorial videos from other channels, I watch everything at 2x speed to not waste time with all the fluff. For your videos, you have so much good information that I don't need to do that. My only constructive feedback is that it would be nice to pause your screen for 1-2 seconds so we can see what you've done before transitioning. For example at 9:41 on this video you make a quick edit to the code, then it fades out before we can see the final code. I have to pause at exactly the right time to catch it. Overall, I subscribed and I intend to watch all of your content. Your content is far better than some paid content I use.

[@djbonner1026]

@@iHeartGameDev It's not information overload at all. I don't like wasting time with fluff - and you don't have fluff. You are to the point and teach what I want to know efficiently. I'm all about that! I just need maybe one second so I can see your code or whatever so I can copy it and learn from it. Another example of what I'm talking about is your first animation video in this series where you created a Unity project. You had the 3D template selected for most of the time, then you quickly switched it to URP as you transitioned to the next section. It's just a tiny thing. Honestly, you're now one of my favorite KZbin teachers in quite a while. Thanks for your hard work!
