I have code that works for flipping the player to face the direction that it is moving upon the X-axis. However, since I have added animations, the animation will play, but will not flip in the other direction.

Notes-

1. I'm not accessing an Animator to run my animations


2. I created AnimationClip variables


3. I play my animations GetComponent().Play("Idle");


4. I do have an Animation component added to my player controller with
   fields for each animation inserted.

Code

 [SerializeField]

 private AnimationClip idle;

 [SerializeField]

 private AnimationClip walk;

 [SerializeField]

 private AnimationClip hop; // Alternative name for JUMP

 [SerializeField]

 private AnimationClip death;

5. The code I have below works perfectly, However, making a transition to Jump has proven difficult.

Code

  if (Mathf.Abs(player.velocity.x) > 0)

    {



        GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Walk");

    }

    else

    {



        GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Idle");



    }

6. The code below for jump DOESN'T play the animation:

Code

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && onFloor==true || 

    Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) && onFloor==true)

    {



        player.velocity = new Vector2(0, jump);

        onFloor = false;

       // GetComponent<Animation>().Stop("Walk");

       // GetComponent<Animation>().Stop("Idle");

        GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Jump");



    }

7. I tried to stop all other animations and only play the jump
   animation.


8. None of that worked. Why? And what would be a solution?


9. My animation clips will play but won't flip to the left.

Code

        faceRight = !faceRight;

        Vector3 Pscale = transform.localScale;

        Pscale.x *= -1;

        transform.localScale = Pscale;

10. I have tried inserting the animation for walking inside the Pflip()
    which is what you're seeing above, a function that's called inside
    of a FixedUpdate().

I've tried to set up the Animator State Machine but all animations would occur at the same time. That's when I abandoned the Animator and decided to call my animations to play from code. I feel as though I've set up the state machine properly as far as my transition lines are concerned.

Ok, so I've set a Trigger for each transition line named "Activate". I revamped my code accordingly into this:

 private Animator anim;



 void Start()

 {

    anim = gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();

 {



 if (Mathf.Abs(player.velocity.x) > 0  && onFloor==true)

    {



        //ani.SetTrigger(walk.ToString());

        anim.ResetTrigger("Idle");

        anim.SetTrigger("Walk");

    }

    else if(Mathf.Abs(player.velocity.x) == 0  && onFloor==true)

    {



        //ani.SetTrigger(idle.ToString());

        anim.ResetTrigger("Walk");

        anim.SetTrigger("Idle");



    }

However, this still doesn't fix my issues. For one, the animations do not play. Secondly, I cannot test to see whether or not my player will flip on the axis once playing.

I'm getting a mild error in the console during runtime that say's the animations don't exist. I made sure that all animations are on the states inside of the animator. I also made sure that none of the animations are marked Legacy.

Based on your question and comments.

I've tried to set up the Animator State Machine but all animations would occur at the same time.

This probably means you are setting wrong the transitions or the initial values in the State Machine.

My recommendation for you is to check this video about how to use State Machine. IT belongs to a longer tutorial, but that video may be enough for your problem.

If you follow the tutorial you will see you need to create parameters of type boolean to activate animations from your script. So for example you will create one named isWalking which will be linked to your walk animation. Then from your code you can set that parameter to true or false with:

anim.SetBool ("IsWalking", walking);

This is an example of what you can try. But you will need to adapt it to your real needs:

bool walking = false;



void FixedUpdate ()

{

    // Animate the player.

    Animating();

}



void Animating (float h, float v)

{

    if (Mathf.Abs(player.velocity.x) > 0  && onFloor==true)

    {

        walking = true;

    }

    else if(Mathf.Abs(player.velocity.x) == 0  && onFloor==true)

    {

        walking = false;

    }



    // Tell the animator whether or not the player is walking.

    anim.SetBool ("IsWalking", walking);

}
