Hi,

 Are you using Mecanim or the old animation system?

Hi Jane ~!

Thanks for reply~!

I think i am using old animation system, cuz i bought this soldier character from asset store and come with several animation. I have never use this Mecanim before, but i looked at this tutorial, seem pretty cool.

So i got to solved this running and running shooting animation problem. But i do have another problem with float variable number for character moving. What is the best setup for character animation? using Float or Int? (anyone got good suggestion?)

cuz i am using AWSD for moving character, and when i press AW or WD or AS or SD, going diagonal....my character float value is not working correctly after i release my key or when i press both key, it went back to running animation. But suppose to be normal walking.. until i press (left shift key and AW key)  at the same time.. do the (Run animation).

So i have this float variable number problem, if anyone got good suggestion, plz let me know.

Thanks,

Hi,

 Float is a way to go, but here It's likely more a problem of logic and value handling then whether it is an int or a float to begin with.

Your fsm may have issues with key detection, for example if you press a key, can you double check that you can still catch another key being pressed? you likely need one fsm per key probably.
