- *FREE animation package on my Patreon!*
Hi! This video shows an easy way to animate your 2D platformer character. We'll animate their Idle, Running and Jumping animations! We'll use a blend tree to keep the controller super clean.
We'll also be using blend trees to create the cleanest animator controller for your project.
I start off with the project we made in our 2D Platformer Movement video:
• Platformer Player Move...
I used this asset by ZeggyGames for our sprite animation base:
zegley.itch.io/2d-platformerm...
All source code for all videos I have made and will make in the future can be found on my Patreon (the script for the player movement is on there for free!):
/ 2d-platformer-83575703
I'll be posting new videos every Friday, so be sure to subscribe to see what kind of adventure we can go on together! I'm excited! :-)

there's is a major headache when creating animations, and it boils my brains because no one, absolutely no one explains: that when you create the animation, you cannot click away or the editor gets ultra mega super locked.... it took me an hour to "fix", i couldn't drag pics into it, i couldn't click the dropdown for clips, i couldn't play/pause... somehow i discover (again after one wasted hour) that i needed, first that the object present in the scene (the player in this case) had the components anim_controller and animation. And second to click in the hierarchy the object to see the animation window clickable. Is it a rookie mistake ? maybe, but normally is rookie mistakes what discourage game devs.... I hope if someone goes trough this Main comment's reply, they find the answer...
For everything else your video was really helpful in creating my animations after that issue, thanks keep it up ! 😎💪
SUBBED
Thank you so much for your work!! And also your Harry Potter accent and voice makes it even better! Also, adorable sprites, and loved the Mother 3 menu arrenged theme at the end! I NEED MORE
Hehe thank you!! You’re the first person to notice the mother 3 music 😈 it’s mother 3 for the intro song too, but the intro is pretty quiet! I’ll keep working hard for you 🫡
Congratulations on 1,000 subscribers! It's cool to see a modern Unity tutorial!
Thank you!!! I didn’t imagine even getting 100 subs, but I’m glad so many people can enjoy and find help from my vids :-)
I’ll keep working on cleaner and better Unity tutorials for as long as I can! I want everyone to feel like that can make whatever they want 🙏 thanks for the support!
That clarity stuttering was crazy!!! Good video
Thank you :-) So satisfying to see it get fixed right!
thanks a LOT you really helped! idk how you only have 1k subs honestly
My movement code was different so i had to make a new “void” where it checks if the numbers are negatives or positives and it flips them using the sprite renderer. Also your voice is so calming and great tutorial, helped me a lot.
Thank you! Glad you got it to work for you too!! 🙏
Thank you for the video! Cant wait for more.
You’re welcome I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I try to post one every week, haven’t missed one yet 🫡🙌
love your videos!!!
Hey - looks good! Cool use of the asset pack
Thank you!! Your assets are all so cool - I had to use one in a vid! :-)) Thank you for your cool assets!
I've used this same asset. I'm still somewhat new, I was using it for tinkering around and figuring out character movement. @zegley thanks for the cool assets. @GameCodeLibrary but I never even considered painting over them, that is clever. Thanks for the video.
Thank you
beautiful job
Thank you! 😊
Excellent video.
Thank you 🥲🙏
[wears helmet] i'm very thankful for any YTubers dev creating contents like this.
not complain, just suggeting:
If this vid was relese 10 years ago, I bet it will catch alot of views. but nowdays YT has alot of these Unity beginner series. so I would suggest either make intermediate level tutorials or publish videos daily so your channel won't be at the bottom of the TH-cam algorithm list. Otherwise, you wont get much satisfaction result. Content creators should understand that viewers will only subscribe when they find the information very useful and unique to them.
also, its worth methioning that if you are doing pixel art animation, you might want to introduce the unity semi-official aseprite pack that will auto make the animator and clips for you using the tags in aseprite.
Yes I plan on doing more advanced and unique stuff! For my own sake of learning how to edit vids and having a library of easier content to reference viewers back to, I started with beginner stuff.
I’m a full time senior dev when I’m not making TH-cam vids, so I won’t be able to do one a day! 😝
I appreciate your views and suggestions!! I’m in no rush to get lots of views, I’m enjoying creating lil vids for now 😇
I have a list of almost 100 video plans though!! So hopefully some of those are more interesting for everyone!
Excellent tutorial
Thank you I’m glad you liked it!
cute sprite great video!!
Thank you!!! I’m thinking of making a mini cat burglar game inspired by the sprite I think that’d be fun!

Thx so much :)
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed 🙏
Amazing tutorial! I have already made two games that are available on the Play Store 😀
Nice work! Glad you enjoyed!
can you show us how you copy animation from asperite to your cat character?
Good job, great video! Will you do 2d top-down tutorials in the future?
Yes I will! Top down is my favourite way to make games since you can do so much with it. I have over 70 video ideas planned 😂 covering the basics with platformer first since it’s simplest!
Thanks so much!
@@GameCodeLibrary wow cool! Looking forward to all of them 😄
Great and very clear tutorial!!! I love your skeddadling cat man! Just wondering if there’s an alternative to the Math.Abs??? My unity isn’t accepting it for some reason :(
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
That's strange for Math.Abs not to work...
What it does is flip a negative number to a positive - if it is negative.
Instead you can check if the number is less than 0 then do *-1
E.g:
if(myNumber < 0)
{
myNumber = myNumber * -1;
}
Hope this helps!
thank you so much!!!
@@GameCodeLibrary
It was great thanks. But my characters not rotating when I turn what soupd I do
This is a simple movement script:
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
float horizontalInput;
float moveSpeed = 5f;
Rigidbody2D rb;
SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent();
spriteRenderer = GetComponent();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
spriteRenderer.flipX = horizontalInput > 0;
rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontalInput * moveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
}
}
This bit in FixedUpdate flips the sprite:
spriteRenderer.flipX = horizontalInput > 0;
You can do it like that, or! Follow along at the timestamp I've linked in this video - which is the previous video of this one :-)
th-cam.com/video/pYu36PLmdq0/w-d-xo.html
You're my favourite amongst the british "people"
You don't actually have to save each frame as its own png.
You can create a spritesheet and then cut it into individual cells using Unity's sprite editor.
Yeah I’ve done that in my other videos 😝 that’s the shame about my oldest video getting the most views!! It’s my worst one lol!
your voice is very good for explanation
Thank you, I'm glad you think so! :-)
i have a problem i cannot jump and use the animation to the left side
😍
What would I have to do to make the sprite not flip during my idle animation.
how can i flip the animation? like when he walk to the right or tho the left?
tanks for the video

I'm not sure what went wrong I followed the video exactly and now my player moves but his body swaps the the other direction (i.e. if they are moving to the left their body will be facing right etc)
You default sprite must have been the opposite to mine! In your sprite renderer you can tick the 'flip X' option and it'll be an easy fix :p
my character doesnt jump when i activated trigger
Weird! You can download the package of my animations for free on my patreon and compare it to yours to see if you can find the difference 🙏
did you manually paint over every frame for every single animation lol? im new to aesprite and feel like theres gotta be a faster way
Yes I did! You can copy and paste certain bits to other frames like the face and ears etc :p then just move it to the right position for that frame! Sprite animation is a time consuming art!
But there are lots of free and paid for assets you can use on sites like itch.io. So you can check those out for free easy ones! :-)
@@GameCodeLibrary this video actually inspired me to draw my own, its been time consuming, but definitely worth it for a passion project. thanks for your response!
what software did you use to implement the sprite assets and create your sprite?
I used Aseprite! I use the free version, but you can buy it online too.
@@GameCodeLibrary thank you 🥰
@@blackpop654it’s also on Steam which is pretty neat and is currently on sale
@@arabiwasabi i just got it off pirate bay but thanks
@@blackpop654 sure, that's also a way to do it
i cant drag sprites to the animation window
Make sure you've got your player selected in the hierarchy and that you're dragging in the individual sprites! Can't think of another otion it might be 🤔
so the code is NOT there for free?
It is:

very fuccin nice
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
My character doesnt jump :(((
maybe its about my input manager settings? i dont know :(
If you follow along with the previous video and then this one, it’ll definitely work! :-)
@@GameCodeLibrary thank you its working right now :)
@@Rivaldix12 Hi, Im having the same issue can you tell me what you changed so that i can too? Thank you so much.
Sorry I keep bothering you 😅 When I edited the code for animation, it sent 2 errors.
'Animator' is a type but is used like a variable
The name 'Math' does not exist in the current context
I think it's something I wrote. Do you think it's possible to give me the code that I can copy and paste?
Hi no problem!
I have the script and package for free on my Patreon :-)

The rest of the code is in the video!
The full package is also on my Patreon for free if you wanna grab it and see
@@GameCodeLibrary А можете подсказать почему когда я управляю объектом, с помощью кода для перемещения, то постоянно в рандомные моменты персонаж резко останавливается, и не продолжает двигаться вперед, почему?
Amazing video I love this, But I found some problems here, I have followed the tutorial and have confirmed that it is correct, but when the character is in jump and ground conditions, The character does not want to return to the idle position, Did I miss something?
If you look in your animator window while this problem happens, you can check the parameters values and see if something is wrong. You can also check the transitions to see why it’s not returning to idle. Hope you can find the issue!
It's not working😭
I have the package and script free on my patreon for you to check out :-)) hopefully you can find a fix!
free for 9 dollars @@GameCodeLibrary
PLS SPEAK LOUDER
Lol I have a new mic since this video, hopefully I’m loud enough now 🥲🙏
did the whole thing just to learn that i need to join your patreon to unlock the code smh
The previous video showed you how to do the code - and the code and entire animation package is on my patreon for free my bro:

Living up to the username of beyond eyesight lol 🙂
I also show months worth of work for free in all my tutorials - I get nothing for doing this!
Talk about a waste of my time for the sake of kindness hey!
im sorry i was in a bad mood that day
