New here and need help

Hello all.

I am a 3D animator and character modeler looking to take the programming portion out of my design as much as possible. I have successfully gotten my character animated and walking around using playmaker and mecanim. The issue that I am running into is that my character moves from Idle to walk just fine, but when the character stops and the moveSpeed is 0, the Idle animation stops playing and my character stand frozen. When I look at my animator I can see that my idle animation seems to be frozen or moving very slowly. The blue time line under my idle state just sits still.

I'm sure my issue is a simple on as I am a total noob to Unity and mecanim. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

mechanim was hard to understand so use legacy to play anims use get game object speed to know what was the speed of your player if it was 0 then play idle anim

It is probably the transition, or something else messed up in the Mecanim state. Can you post some pics or something?

did you set your animation Idle to loop ?

Her are some pics the first one is when the idle animation is playing as it should. This is before any player input. The second image shows the idle animation frozen after I have run around with my character. I was hoping to make use of Mechanim so i'd like to wrestle with this until it can be resolved.


My idle animation is set to loop and does so successfully until there is player input.
