im trying to make my charcter play an attack animation
Full animation to be played
Explain what should happen when you run the game.
the character should be able to attack completey
character is stuck on first frame
this is the idle animation but i cant get the attack animation since it wouldnât let me take a screenshot
this is the frame it is stuck on
Hi, did you search the forum a bit? Animations being stuck at the first frame are often a sign for a conflict in the events. Here is a suggestion of how to trace possible conflicts in your animations: Animation is stuck on first frame, how to fix that?
âChange the animationâ also restarts the animation at frame 0. So for example you have âwhen player is falling, change animation to fallingâ. This means every gametic where the player is falling, this will trigger and restart the animation.
You would need some other condition like âtrigger onceâ. Or, you could check if the animation isnât already changed:
player is falling | change animation to falling
animation is not equal to falling |
i did what you said and added a trigger once but also is player is on floor, player is not moving and player is not jumping but now it is either playing the animation too fast
i cant do it since im on mac and it wont let me use inspector
Could it be something with the collision because I know that different collison mask causes different result. The platformcharacteranimator somehow make my animations work fine but doing mine doesnt work
Only if the animation is different. If, for example, animation is âIdleâ and you change animation to âIdleâ, the current frame doesnât reset.
Your issue is in the last 2 events (BTW, remove the 3rd to last event - it repeats the one following it).
When the âJâ key is pressed and the player is on the floor , the animation is changed to âATTACKSâ
In the next game frame, the event prior to that is actioned, because the player is on the floor and not moving, and so the animation is set to âIdleâ.
However, the very next event (where the âJâ key is pressed), the animation is changed to âATTACKSâ. And because the animation changes from one to another, the frame resets to the first one.
One way to fix this is to add a âAnimation is not âATTACKSââ to the second to last event:
Huh, I didnât know that. Now it makes so much sense why this happens to me when I change to a default animation before conditions >.<
Thank you itâs working now
also one more question sorry to bother if your busy but im trying to make a combo system so do you know how to make it where after attack is done if J key is pressed again it changes to the 2nd attack animation
One possible way is to add a series of subevents to your last one. The condition of each event is to check the name of the current animation, and set the animation to the next attack animation. Do it in reverse order (last attack to first attack), otherwise each event will trigger the next and youâll end up at the last attack animation straight away.
Something like:
Note, this will only work if the attack animations all start with âATTACKâ.
