What this essentially means is that in our game, the walk animation can be played from the idle animation and vice versa. Then right click the walk animation and create another transition link back to the idle animation. This will create an on-screen arrow which needs to target another animation. Right click the Idle animation and select ‘Make Transition’.
Right click the Idle Animation in the Animator view and select ‘Set As Default’ this will change the colour of the animation to orange.Īt the core of the Animation Controller is the power to map transitions between animations. In our current case we want the Idle animation to be our default. This will change from game to game depending on your requirements. The default animation will be the first one that plays when the player is shown in the game. The Animator needs to be told which animation should be treated as ‘default’. In our current tutorial you can try something like in the image below With practice you will get used to finding nice layouts quickly. there is no real rule for this process and it will likely vary from game to game depending on how many animations you have – and how they work together. Mouse drag your animation states so they are layed out in a neat way so can map transition links between them (you can pan around the animator view with the middle mouse button). I will however try to keep this tutorial slim and stick to just the bare essentials to get our player moving/animating. The Animation Control deserves its own tutorial as there are many features and interesting aspects (I’ll write an in-depth guide later). So here comes the FUN part, hodor hodor.ĭouble click the newly created Animation Controller to open the animator tab, then drag all your animations into it. Understanding and organizing the Animation Controller When we created our individual animations previously, Unity most likely created animation controllers for each one (in the same folder), we will not be needing those, delete them so that we are left with just the new Animation Controller we created. This will have added ‘New Animation Controller’ into the folder, Rename it to something more appropriate like ‘PlayerAnimationController’. In the Project panel, right click on the animations folder we created previously and select – ‘Create > Animation Controller’. It is essentially a Policeman in the middle of an intersection ‘controlling’ the flow of traffic based on specific road ‘rules’. It is a state manager which lets developers visually assign animation states and define rules which control when and how they play. To control the different animations Unit圓D has a freaking cool feature called the Animation Controller. The controller will tell the animator what animations should be shown and when, so lets now create the Animation Controller. You will now find an Animator component assigned to the Player, observe that it accepts a parameter for ‘Controller’. In the Player’s Inspector panel, click ‘Add Component’ then select ‘Miscellaneous > Animator’. The Player object needs an Animator component to manage the players animations. You will now have a Sprite attached to your Player and visible in the scene, amaze-balls. There are two ways we can go about this.ĭrag the sprite from your project panel to the Component panelĪlternatively if you want a visual aid, you can open the asset panel and visually select an appropriate asset. In our example I will use one of the sprites from the Idle animation. To do so, select the player in the hierarchy panel and then click ‘Add Component’ in the Players Inspector panel, click on ‘rendering’ in the drop down, which will open a new tab, from which you can now select ‘Sprite Renderer’.Īfter adding the the Sprite Renderer component you will need to tell the Sprite Renderer which Sprite to use (it can accept only one sprite). It simply gives us an on-screen representation of the player so we arn’t moving around an invisible object.
This is not however related to the animation states. ‘GameObject > Create Empty’ and rename it to Player.Īs the object is invisible, we will want to add a Sprite Renderer to it, so that we can can actually see something in the scene view. Creating the Player ComponentĬreate a new empty game object that will be used for the player. If these animations exist in your scene view, remove/delete them so that the main camera is the only component left. In the last step of part 1 we left off by creating several player animations, walk, crouch, hadooken, idle and jump by dragging sprite sequences into the scene view. This post is part 2 of Understanding and Creating 2d Animation State management in Unit圓d, In this tutorial we will be continuing from Part 1 and covering the following topics:Īdding an animation State Manager to the playerĭefining Animation transition rules and parameters
