You wrote anime its anim

[@loredeveloping9435]

You had a lot of mistakes, for example you write wrong things, 'of' instead 'if', in the part of private void fixedupdate your character swipe the direction to left, and it was because you put a ; in ( > 0). You forgot to put private float 'moveSpeed', you wrote 'anime' instead 'anim'. But not worry you can improve this erros practicing every day:) Here is the funtional code using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class Character : MonoBehaviour { private Rigidbody2D rb; private Animator anim; private float moveSpeed; private float dirX; private bool facingRight = true; private Vector3 localScale; // Start is called before the first frame update private void Start() { rb = GetComponent(); anim = GetComponent(); localScale = transform.localScale; moveSpeed = 3f; } private void Update() { dirX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * moveSpeed; if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && rb.velocity.y == 0) rb.AddForce(Vector2.up * 500f); if (Mathf.Abs(dirX) > 0 && rb.velocity.y == 0) anim.SetBool("isRunning", true); else anim.SetBool("isRunning", false); if (rb.velocity.y == 0) { anim.SetBool("isJumping", false); anim.SetBool("isFalling", false); } if (rb.velocity.y > 0) anim.SetBool("isJumping", true); if (rb.velocity.y < 0) { anim.SetBool("isJumping", false); anim.SetBool("isFalling", true); } } private void FixedUpdate() { rb.velocity = new Vector2(dirX, rb.velocity.y); } private void LateUpdate() { if (dirX > 0) facingRight = true; else if (dirX < 0) facingRight = false; if (((facingRight) && (localScale.x < 0)) || ((!facingRight) && (localScale.x > 0))) localScale.x *= -1; transform.localScale = localScale; } }

It is still playing the idle animation how can I change between the animations ? I did exactly like you did.

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

what if your character is a top down game and your character how to move up & attack , cause the character face will be different and u cant use the same set of parts for left right and attack

I had problems with animations because in my case when i moved the character on the x axis, the y axis of the Rigidbody was slitly different from zero, i solved modifing the code, instead of zero i put a value between -0.001 and +0.001

[@marcolizzi4980]

Can you do a tutorial where you also show how to set the shooting animation?

[@Seichensi]

And what about adding animation Directly to the character; such as blinking or opening mouth? Can you "stick in" the mouth image to use this method or it's better to use whole sprites technique instead?

[@serpaolo7413]

Whole sprites are used, one with eyes open -> one with eyes closed (back and forth )

Hi I have a problem with script when I write localScale.x *- -1; down work and block all project!!!!!!! Can you help me PLS?

[@ncoast9111]

First of all THANK YOU! My animations are FINALLY seamless. However, I did have to tweak some things. On the -jump up- to -jump down- animation I turned exit time off and deleted the numbers next to exit time and transition time. This made my animation loop endlessly. I finally figured out that if I don't delete the exit time number but still turn exit time off it worked for some reason. I needed a transition time for -jump up- to -jump down- I had to mess around with gravity, mass, and jump force
