If you need to press space 2 times to play the animation, You need to go in the CharacterController2D script and change on the line 130 the false to true. Hope this Helped!
GUYS! If you're jump animation isn't working: (starting for a split second before you leave the ground) you don't need to add any ridiculous code. you don't need to modify the character controller. All you need to do is go to both of the exit transitions from the jump animation and turn ON the "Has Exit Time" parameter.
however you do have to set the jump animation to exactly the time you spend jumping otherwise you either end the animation in mid air and it looks really weird if you make it to short and if you make it too long then you end up on the floor looking like your falling anyone got a workaround?
hey man youre like the most recent comment on here and im having trouble with the events component under the character controller script, i cant find a solution to it and a i was wondering if you knew
its a nice tutorial, but using physics for 2d collisions is not efficient, physics is very expensive...you should use tiled based collisions instead...
For those who had an error where Idle and Crouch animation are playing at the same time, when you click the player, at the top of the inspector you should see where it is written "Layer". By default the Layer is set to Default, so what you should do is add a new Layer called "player", set the player's layer to that new layer, and finally uncheck the layer at the "what is ground" in the character controller.

@@florentbacale3280 it's the three dots right under those, it needs to be on the animation panel and not the "global" panel :) try and find three dots below the ones you found ;)
If anyone is having trouble with the jump animation, check that your ground's layer is set to "ground". Mine was in "default" layer and as soon I changed it to ground everything started working. Do what Dante says too: "find the ground radius variable [in character controller 2d script] and change it to a lower number like .05" Hope this helps
If the jumping animation doesn't work still, maybe try keeping on exit time for when it switches to idle or running. Don't keep Transition time. Only keep it for when it goes from Any State->Jumping.

Normal terrain was fine even without any layering. Adding layer didn't worked so I went ahead and edit the character controller to add a second ground check and placed it both to each edges of the character and it worked wonderfully.
In case he doesn't mention it in the video, there's a reason that sprite sheets and atlases were developed and are still used in games today. They greatly save on memory and runtime because only a single instance of the sprite array image is loaded into memory at once, and all draws simply render a specific sub-section of the same file pointer in memory. In Unity, you can see this in action with the batching stats. This is an important concept in any engine, however. Including ones like Unreal or Love2D or Godot or Lumberyard. It's an important concept regardless of the engine, language or technology.
For those struggling with jumping animation playing for only one frame: 1. Go to somewhere around Line 127 2. Change "m_Grounded = false" to "m_Grounded = true" If you're having trouble finding this line, it should be after the following if statement: "if (m_Grounded && Jump)"
IDK if anyone will see this comment But if your OnLanding is being called too soon and you don't want to change your jump force for whatever reason, try moving your ground check a little more to the center and actually a little higher than you would expect to be the "right" Y position. I set mine a little higher than what seemed correct (was right on the feet moved somewhere at shin level) and it worked perfectly
In my game the "Crouch" animation made me hover, so I edited the Character Controller a lil so it removes 2 colliders. Now it's Smooooth. Loved the vid, long time coder, first time unity user. Definitely a thumbs up!
I think it has something to do with his character controller script. If you look at the FixedUpdate function in his character controller he invokes the on land event whenever the character’s ground check intersects the ground and when the character was falling before that. The problem is that when your character jumps there is a split second where after you’ve jumped, the character’s ground check is still touching the ground, which means the character controller thinks you were just falling and just landed. This is why you can see the animation for a split second before it goes back to idle. Once you’re up in the air and press it again the animation plays because the ground check is far enough away from the ground to not trigger the event. Working on a solution right now.
here guys private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) { if (collision.collider.gameObject.layer == 9) { OnLandEvent.Invoke(); } } delete where the another OnLandEvent.Invoke() is (FixedUpdate() i think), in my case the ground layer is 9, so change it if not yours
Well, I did this and it's kind of working :)) if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) { jump = true; animator.SetBool("IsJumping", true); }else if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump")) { jump = true; }
I think covering skeletal animation is a great idea. Perhaps consider looking at the new skeletal 2D animation being integrated into Unity rather than or in addition to Anima 2D.
Your On Land event is checking too soon and that's causing my character to stop jumping immediately after leaving the ground. Any idea on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
I have found a solution that works for me - it may be the same reason for you. I needed to increase the Jump Force and it worked fine. I think it's because when the force is too low, the play doesn't leave the ground quick enough before the On Land event is called to ground it.
Did you find an answer to this? The problem roots from the Character Controller 2D script but as of now I can't find a way to stop it from checking so fast EDIT: I actually just implemented something to delay this check from happening so quickly. This is the first thing that came to mind so it might not be the best option but you can download my edited script here : drive.google.com/file/d/1AMkNgVx0mRJHY9Jsiv_r5ifnYBuo7D94/view?usp=sharing I added a delay time variable which can be modified in the Unity Inspector under the Character Controller 2D script. If you use this script instead of the one supplied in the GIT repo it should work for you as well.
Ok i know im late but for those of you reading this and having the bug with the jumping animation failing to transition to the idle or running animation - i think i found a fix (atleast it fixed mine) SO 1 - find the line if(!wasGrounded) in the script that they provided and change it to if(!wasGrounded && m_Rigidbody2D.velocity.y
SUPER AWESOME!!! I don't know why everyone is complaining. Everything in this video works fine and I'm making this game in 10/20 using the spaceman animation. All codes and everything else works fine. Honestly you just have to be patient and be able to problem solve. I feel people give up on themselves very easy. Trust me...I spent over 7 hours alone trying to get his crouch animation to work. i erased and rewrote the code...I went back and rewatched the video plenty of times...I am happy to say that yesterday i figured out the problems and I couldn't be more happier. It was a super easy fix which honestly pissed me off. As soon as i got it to all work. I saved the game and closed it. Thanks for everything and I plan to watch most of your vids.
FOR JUMPING, If you have an animation that is more than one frame long and animation is stuck on first frame do this Click on the transition from ANY STATE to JUMPING --->Untick 'Can Transition To'. this was causing an infinite loop allowing the animation to loop into restarting, staying in the first frame
Thank you so much I actually made a dumb mistake of not finishing the video so I missed all the script parts and had a lot of trouble with it like for a day and then I went back and saw that we had to script and I was literally mindblown bruh. IT WAS SO BAD 😭😭😭 But luckily I finished the video this time and got my animations!!!! TYSM!!!!!
For those of you who only see the Jump Animation for a split second this simple solution might work: *Solution:* Decrease the ground check radius and check if it works properly (if it still doesn't work decrease it even more). This also might not work if you have kept the game object that checks if touching ground too much below the player. *Explanation:* The reason why this is not working is that the program is checking for ground at that very split second of the jump since the program is updating too fast the animation check option keeps returning to false. If you decrease the radius of the ground check then by the time the program checks for ground the overlapping circle would have moved away from the ground due to low radius thus not overlapping anymore. *Don't add Exit time I know it works but the problem with that is it only works for fully flat ground, suppose you are jumping to a level higher than you then the sprite would be touching ground before the exit time is over thus remaining in jump animation for more time in spite of touching ground*
For some reason the idle transitions to crouching animation without me pressing anything. The "isCrouching" Parameter keeps going On and Off automatically :(
I have the same issue. Player is on a player layer , tilemap is on a default layer and "what is ground" have everything selected except for Player layer
I am finding that all of my character movements and animations work perfectly, but the jump animation doesn't activate unless my character is already off the ground. I tried moving my ground check up a bit, but it just looks like the jump animation flickers and then stops. While I am in the air, if I hit the jump button again, the animation works. Any suggestions?
Gotta make sure the animator is on the same object as the sprite renderer. And you can reveal samples by clicking the triple dot on the right of the animation window and hit "show sample rate"
For everyone that's struggling with an error where Idle and Crouch animation are playing at the same time to the Character Controller SCRIPT line 67 or 69 there is a ! before crouch. I struggled hours
I had the same problem and I tried to erase the ! at line 67 , but that made the player uncrouch when stop pressing the crouch button even if there is a ceiling. What I did to solve the problem was to add a new Layer(not sorting layer) called player, put the player in that layer and finally disabling the player layer in the "what is ground" in the character controller.
If the jumping animation doesn't work still, maybe try keeping on exit time for when it switches to idle or running. Don't keep Transition time. Only keep it for when it goes from Any State->Jumping. Turn off exit time too on Any State->Jumping. I hope it helps because it worked for me. Not the perfect solution, but it works. EDIT: don't do it it causes a weird glitch if you keep pressing the jump button in midair.
For those who are not seeing the samples option. Maximize the animation window and you should see 2 pairs of 3 dots in top right corner. Select the bottom most one and select show samples. I spent about an hour finding out how to do that one thing. SMH @ unity
@@jerzyfice1426 I was using the script that came with all the other files. And the updated script that actually had events had to be downloaded directly
Thank you so much. You sent me down the right road. I was having this exact problem but I had it set to greater than 0.01. Set it to Lesser no longer a problem. Cheers.
@@yuratwitch1093 So I am going over this again as well. I lost my last build and I don't think this works as well with the newer version because I'm having difficulty with my player jumping without animation let alone with the animation. Basically though go to 5:10 he talks about how you can create two animations for the jump up and down. I think that may fix the problem however how you do that I'm not sure yet. Continuing with how Brackey is doing it. Go to 6:15 where he explains the animator than jump to 7:48 where he goes over parameters then to 1216 where he explains how to set up the transition of going to jump anytime. The time stamp 13:38 and I believe this is what I was talking about a month ago when it transitions back to the idle animation make sure jumping equals false and that the speed is less than 0.01. I hope this helps. Just curious to what version you are using. If you don't mind.
So I noticed when my character jumps all is well, however when my character just walks off a ledge, the idle animation continues to play. Any thoughts on how to implement a fall into the code. (Sorry, I'm new at this but very excited to learn!)
You could create a new animation strictly for falling then create a bool that turns on when falling and not jumping and then set the idle animation to transition to the fall animation when the bool is set to true
Can someone help me? I've little problem with my jump animation, so when i jump the animation keeps reapets it self until i land on the floor. What should i do?
I am unsure why but when I do this for my own sprites for my game when I press play in the animation window it does not change the sprites at all, does anybody know why this is happening or a way to fix this? If so that would be very helpful!
I'm assuming you've got this now but for anyone else struggling at the top put - using UnityEngine.Events; then an attribute that says this - [SerializeField] UnityEvent OnLandEvent; then where you want to trigger the event - OnLandEvent.Invoke(); I managed to get the last 2 lines but i couldn't work out where i was going wrong for ages turns out you need to tell is to use the events thing at the top. That is really important aparently.
does anyone know how to make a transition for when your character is turning? so if your character switches directions it doesnt just flip over it has an animation for it
For jumping animation problem, open character controller script and find these lines at the end of the Move void: if (m_Grounded && jump) { // Add a vertical force to the player. m_Grounded = false; m_Rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, m_JumpForce)); and then just delete m_Grounded = false; WIN!
is there a way to reuse the same animations (walk, jump, etc) with other sprites automatically? (to change player skins without creating all the animations again) i found a way but it must be a better way.... My way is hard to explain but is like this: - create an empty gameobject ("Player"?) with all the individual sprites in the same position x,y,z - use generic names for the sprites (frame1, frame2, frame3 or idle01, idle02, jump01) - in the animation you want to create (let's say: "Jump") you record and set the parameter Gameobject.isActive to false on all the sprites except the one you need to that keyframe (and repeat) - Done. If you want to create a different "Skin", just duplicate the previous gameobject ("Player") and change the sprites (using the inspector) without changing the names of the gameobjects containing the sprites. - All the animations and animator-controllers can be used with this new skin automatically! if you have 30 animations, you wont need to create 30 more for every skin, just duplicate the first skin and replace the sprites and you're ready! Note: i found there's another way (th-cam.com/video/HM17mAmLd7k/w-d-xo.html), replacing the 2D texture in the lateUpdate, the tutorial is from 2014 i haven't test it yet
the way you told is pretty impressive, and considering a player wouldnt have more than 30 images, 30 gameobjects also does not put load on the cpu, and also, no gameobjects are created or destroyed, just enabled and disabled... Yeah so ur solution is pretty cool
I just install Unity and learn C# for like 2 months. So I wonder will my guess be usable? instead of duplicating 30 animators, can we apply with code? like create a pool of library and call the sprite that we actually need for player.
Use an animator override controller my dude. I use it to copy animation transitions without all the extra work because I can just drag and drop the animations and sprites I wanna use in and PRESTO!
For anyone who can't move after adding animator.SetFloat, make sure to click the player sprite and then drag the animator component into the "Animator" section of the Player Controller component!
Bro I was starting to panic when I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Thanks to you and all of the other helpful commenters I have been able to understand these small differences that drastically affect the game. Yee Yee.
Hey guys I found something It might be work on jump animation Just take your 'ground check point' up a little higher then ground collider cause if too deep it will check for twice (sry for my bad english:(
Great tutorial but I'm not sure why you'd skip the creation of the events. I get the point is to simply do the animations but I'm following the guide in my own character controller I made myself and now I'll have to research how to add events in. Not hard, but why skip over it, extra bonus content we could learn.
Help please: what should i put inside the inspector for the player, about What is Ground, about Ground check, about Ceiling Check and Crouch Disable Collider????
@@LeHalazoone did you follow the tutorial? If your not sure how to use the inspector with variables from a script yet sounds like you need to slow down and do more basic tutorials first.
@@LeHalazoone you don't join them to the inspector you put a script on a gameobject like the player object or simply a cube or even an empty gameobject then you can 'inspect' the script over on the inspector window. You should watch the unity tutorial roll the ball first. this is way to advanced for you atm. slow down and enjoy the learning phase of game dev, dont rush through it.
@@MaximumSpice Thanks very much. I meant i drag and drop the script in the bottom of the object in the inspector. It is the same manipulation i think. I tried it many times and it works. But i do not understand why it does not in my case ?
Hey i really like your content. I don’t know anything about coding and stuff. And I don’t watch your videos to learn but simply because I enjoy them. Game development is so intriguing and it looks really cool. I hope I get a change to actually learn from your videos when I finally get the time. ALSO ARE YOU GUYS FULL TIME TH-camRS OR ARE YOU AN INDIE STUDIO. I ask this because I would really like to see a fully fleshed out game of yours!!!!!!!
why my character just look at the direction of right? and pls i need help i used 2D Platform Controller from the asset store and is this made the way wrong? please i need answers
I'm having two problems: 1) The "isCrouching" parameter is rapidly being activated without me pressing anything, causing my player animation to constantly spazz between idle and crouch, or idle and run when I'm moving 2) I have to double tap my jump button for the jump animation to actually play Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm really stuck on it.
I found it as a reply in the previous video: Dino Vidakovic 2 years ago There is a bug in new version of the script for movement. On line (67), I guess they accidentally put !crouch instead of crouch. This bug makes your character be always in the crouch position. To fix the bug, just open the "Character Controller 2D" code and edit that little "!".
For the double tap jump animation the issue is in the CharacterController2D script. In the statement "if (m_Grounded && Jump)" it returns this: "m_Grounded = false" this should be changed to "m_Grounded = true"
I should have found this video at the start of the weekend! Great job explaining transitions! It all makes sense to me now! And yes, skeletal animation would be interesting to learn!
If your Jump animation is only showing up for a few milliseconds you have to put your Ground check a little Upwords. (This is the Problem I have had xD)
This is super helpful, however I'm getting weird bugs like being stuck in the crouching animation or playing the run animation when it should play jump. I've gone over the video a few times to make sure I did everything exactly like you did. Hopefully it's not because I'm using a different version of Unity because I did notice some of the user controls were in different places and some of the tools looked a little different compared to your time of recording this.
@@windwakin i had the same issue. try changing the ceiling radius number to something low like .1 or lower. I'm using really small pixel graphics so the scale of the checks need to be lowered a ton
Does anyone know why my character gets stuck on nothing? I have a box collider and circle colliders to smooth out the edges for my character's feet. I'll be walking and then it will get stuck, I can move backwards, but it is like there is an invisible barrier. When I jump over it, it goes away, and later an "invisible barrier" comes up in a different location.
Yeah, I've already experienced what you are saying. So I think I can help you. You might as well remake the collider on your character if you choose the circle or capsule shape for one of your character. Be sure not to change the SCALE. You should adjust the size only by changing RADIUS and HEIGHT of that collider. That's it.
For some reason, my Crouching isn’t working. I’m on the animator and the IsCrouching parameter keeps spazzing out, turning on and off even when I’m not crouching anybody else experiencing this problem
So basically I'm dying here. My Ground check triggers the moment my character jumps and instantly cancels the animation. I followed this tutorial to animate my own sprite and also followed the previous tutorial on movement, so my code adds up to yours. Everything works fine except for the ground check on the instant that I jump. What can I possibly do to fix it? How can I make the ground check fire ONLY when I hit the ground after the jump?
@@KAYMOofficial Dante Quizás solved it here in the comments. Go to CharacterController2D.cs to the code: if (!wasGrounded) OnLandEvent.Invoke(); and change it to if (!wasGrounded && m_Rigidbody2D.velocity.y < 0) OnLandEvent.Invoke(); This will make sure you are falling before determine you are landing. It should solve the problem.

Thanks mate, this is what i was looking for

And you also need to check off (can transition to self ) on the transition from anyState
Skeletal animation would be so helpful and it looks quicker too
It is less quality, of course.
Not Enough Horror. It seems it would be good for a 2D physics based fighting game like the one Im gunna try make
Both have their pros and cons, you cannot get a pixel style like in this video with skeletal animation
actually you can , look for Dead Cells
sprite swap is the best for pixelarts though.
IDK if anyone will see this comment
But if your OnLanding is being called too soon and you don't want to change your jump force for whatever reason, try moving your ground check a little more to the center and actually a little higher than you would expect to be the "right" Y position.

please help me! Why i need to double press the UP/W key to see the animation of jumping?
Same for me :(

I think it has something to do with his character controller script. If you look at the FixedUpdate function in his character controller he invokes the on land event whenever the character’s ground check intersects the ground and when the character was falling before that.
The problem is that when your character jumps there is a split second where after you’ve jumped, the character’s ground check is still touching the ground, which means the character controller thinks you were just falling and just landed.
This is why you can see the animation for a split second before it goes back to idle. Once you’re up in the air and press it again the animation plays because the ground check is far enough away from the ground to not trigger the event.
Working on a solution right now.
here guys
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if (collision.collider.gameObject.layer == 9)
{
OnLandEvent.Invoke();
}
}
delete where the another OnLandEvent.Invoke() is (FixedUpdate() i think), in my case the ground layer is 9, so change it if not yours
Well, I did this and it's kind of working :))
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
{
jump = true;
animator.SetBool("IsJumping", true);
}else if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump"))
{
jump = true;
}
I think covering skeletal animation is a great idea. Perhaps consider looking at the new skeletal 2D animation being integrated into Unity rather than or in addition to Anima 2D.

Your On Land event is checking too soon and that's causing my character to stop jumping immediately after leaving the ground. Any idea on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
I'm Confused same
Same here.. :/
I have found a solution that works for me - it may be the same reason for you. I needed to increase the Jump Force and it worked fine. I think it's because when the force is too low, the play doesn't leave the ground quick enough before the On Land event is called to ground it.
Ted Alden-Templeman it didnt work
(And do you know why the idle animation & crouching animation play both at the same time)?
Did you find an answer to this? The problem roots from the Character Controller 2D script but as of now I can't find a way to stop it from checking so fast
EDIT: I actually just implemented something to delay this check from happening so quickly. This is the first thing that came to mind so it might not be the best option but you can download my edited script here : drive.google.com/file/d/1AMkNgVx0mRJHY9Jsiv_r5ifnYBuo7D94/view?usp=sharing
I added a delay time variable which can be modified in the Unity Inspector under the Character Controller 2D script.
If you use this script instead of the one supplied in the GIT repo it should work for you as well.
i miss this channel
sameee😭😭
All of your Unity tutorials are absolutely amazing, they've been helping me so much in learning game development! Keep up the great work!
i love it, just recently bought the aseprite and im willing to make my own videogame, these videos are a lot of help! ♥
Ok i know im late but for those of you reading this and having the bug with the jumping animation failing to transition to the idle or running animation - i think i found a fix
(atleast it fixed mine)
SO
1 - find the line if(!wasGrounded) in the script that they provided and change it to if(!wasGrounded && m_Rigidbody2D.velocity.y
Thank you
thanks bro!
Thank you so much life saver!
SUPER AWESOME!!! I don't know why everyone is complaining. Everything in this video works fine and I'm making this game in 10/20 using the spaceman animation. All codes and everything else works fine. Honestly you just have to be patient and be able to problem solve. I feel people give up on themselves very easy. Trust me...I spent over 7 hours alone trying to get his crouch animation to work. i erased and rewrote the code...I went back and rewatched the video plenty of times...I am happy to say that yesterday i figured out the problems and I couldn't be more happier. It was a super easy fix which honestly pissed me off. As soon as i got it to all work. I saved the game and closed it. Thanks for everything and I plan to watch most of your vids.
finally, after the error are occurrence. I can make animation for my character. Thank you so much Brackey.
Thanks a Lot ! yes Please skeletal animation would be so helpful ! ( Like if you agree ) !

I don't have the 'Animation Folder' from 5:24. What do I do?
I would LOVE a video on anima 2d
FOR JUMPING, If you have an animation that is more than one frame long and animation is stuck on first frame do this
Click on the transition from ANY STATE to JUMPING --->Untick 'Can Transition To'.
this was causing an infinite loop allowing the animation to loop into restarting, staying in the first frame
Thank you so much
Adding all the animation took longer than making a menu and exporting the game xD Thanks though this is invaluable info in a very digestible format!!
Thank you so much I actually made a dumb mistake of not finishing the video so I missed all the script parts and had a lot of trouble with it like for a day and then I went back and saw that we had to script and I was literally mindblown bruh. IT WAS SO BAD 😭😭😭 But luckily I finished the video this time and got my animations!!!! TYSM!!!!!
im using my own script and was wondering if anyone knows how to add the events to my character controller
the only tutorial that actuallly helped me even 2021
For those of you who only see the Jump Animation for a split second this simple solution might work:
*Solution:* Decrease the ground check radius and check if it works properly (if it still doesn't work decrease it even more). This also might not work if you have kept the game object that checks if touching ground too much below the player.
*Explanation:* The reason why this is not working is that the program is checking for ground at that very split second of the jump since the program is updating too fast the animation check option keeps returning to false. If you decrease the radius of the ground check then by the time the program checks for ground the overlapping circle would have moved away from the ground due to low radius thus not overlapping anymore.
*Don't add Exit time I know it works but the problem with that is it only works for fully flat ground, suppose you are jumping to a level higher than you then the sprite would be touching ground before the exit time is over thus remaining in jump animation for more time in spite of touching ground*
Thank you, this helped a lot!
The great thing is that you keep your *smile* _visible>true_ in all your videos...keep going!
For some reason the idle transitions to crouching animation without me pressing anything.
The "isCrouching" Parameter keeps going On and Off automatically :(
I have the same problem.. Did you find a fix for it?
Check if your player has the "Player" layer assigned
Worked for me! Thank you :D
Also the attribute “What Is Ground” of “Character Controller 2D” need to have everything selected except for that “Player” layer
I have the same issue. Player is on a player layer , tilemap is on a default layer and "what is ground" have everything selected except for Player layer
I am finding that all of my character movements and animations work perfectly, but the jump animation doesn't activate unless my character is already off the ground. I tried moving my ground check up a bit, but it just looks like the jump animation flickers and then stops. While I am in the air, if I hit the jump button again, the animation works. Any suggestions?
@animeharmonics Thank You!!!
Yo same
@animeharmonics It didn't work for me
Gotta make sure the animator is on the same object as the sprite renderer.
And you can reveal samples by clicking the triple dot on the right of the animation window and hit "show sample rate"
thank you so much
For everyone that's struggling with an error where Idle and Crouch animation are playing at the same time to the Character Controller SCRIPT line 67 or 69 there is a ! before crouch. I struggled hours
omfg thank you!
Oh my gosh this literally saved my sanity!!! Thanks for the tip
woahh thank you!
I had the same problem and I tried to erase the ! at line 67 , but that made the player uncrouch when stop pressing the crouch button even if there is a ceiling. What I did to solve the problem was to add a new Layer(not sorting layer) called player, put the player in that layer and finally disabling the player layer in the "what is ground" in the character controller.
thanks a lot you are a saviour!

If the jumping animation doesn't work still, maybe try keeping on exit time for when it switches to idle or running. Don't keep Transition time. Only keep it for when it goes from Any State->Jumping. Turn off exit time too on Any State->Jumping. I hope it helps because it worked for me. Not the perfect solution, but it works.
EDIT: don't do it it causes a weird glitch if you keep pressing the jump button in midair.
you.are.the.best... literally saving my school semester XD
Lol, you, lol school
For those who are not seeing the samples option. Maximize the animation window and you should see 2 pairs of 3 dots in top right corner. Select the bottom most one and select show samples. I spent about an hour finding out how to do that one thing. SMH @ unity
Thanks! I almost quit after I couldn't find it

@@Northernweird Can u tell me how to do this?
@@yuratwitch1093 I can and will. Give me 20 mins.
@@yuratwitch1093 So I am going over this again as well. I lost my last build and I don't think this works as well with the newer version because I'm having difficulty with my player jumping without animation let alone with the animation. Basically though go to 5:10 he talks about how you can create two animations for the jump up and down. I think that may fix the problem however how you do that I'm not sure yet. Continuing with how Brackey is doing it. Go to 6:15 where he explains the animator than jump to 7:48 where he goes over parameters then to 1216 where he explains how to set up the transition of going to jump anytime. The time stamp 13:38 and I believe this is what I was talking about a month ago when it transitions back to the idle animation make sure jumping equals false and that the speed is less than 0.01. I hope this helps. Just curious to what version you are using. If you don't mind.
on 16:00 I cant select a function. It gives me "No function" or "Mono Script". Does someone know what I missed?
did you have solved it ?
please tell me you found the problem

So I noticed when my character jumps all is well, however when my character just walks off a ledge, the idle animation continues to play. Any thoughts on how to implement a fall into the code. (Sorry, I'm new at this but very excited to learn!)
You could create a new animation strictly for falling then create a bool that turns on when falling and not jumping and then set the idle animation to transition to the fall animation when the bool is set to true

How did you make the event for landing check ??
How do you add "Events" on a Script? i didn't use his Character Controller 2D script
I'm assuming you've got this now but for anyone else struggling
at the top put - using UnityEngine.Events;
then an attribute that says this - [SerializeField] UnityEvent OnLandEvent;
then where you want to trigger the event - OnLandEvent.Invoke();
I managed to get the last 2 lines but i couldn't work out where i was going wrong for ages turns out you need to tell is to use the events thing at the top. That is really important aparently.
@@Petesails thank you thank you THANK YOU
Lifesaver! It takes me a lot to time to animate through code!

does anyone know how to make a transition for when your character is turning? so if your character switches directions it doesnt just flip over it has an animation for it

For jumping animation problem, open character controller script and find these lines at the end of the Move void:
if (m_Grounded && jump)
{
// Add a vertical force to the player.
m_Grounded = false;
m_Rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, m_JumpForce));
and then just delete m_Grounded = false;
WIN!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Nice one! Found a new bug though, haha.
Yay! This one finally worked!
Thx
is there a way to reuse the same animations (walk, jump, etc) with other sprites automatically? (to change player skins without creating all the animations again)
i found a way but it must be a better way....
My way is hard to explain but is like this:
- create an empty gameobject ("Player"?) with all the individual sprites in the same position x,y,z
- use generic names for the sprites (frame1, frame2, frame3 or idle01, idle02, jump01)
- in the animation you want to create (let's say: "Jump") you record and set the parameter Gameobject.isActive to false on all the sprites except the one you need to that keyframe (and repeat)
- Done.
If you want to create a different "Skin", just duplicate the previous gameobject ("Player")
and change the sprites (using the inspector) without changing the names of the gameobjects containing the sprites.
- All the animations and animator-controllers can be used with this new skin automatically!
if you have 30 animations, you wont need to create 30 more for every skin, just duplicate the first skin and replace the sprites and you're ready!
Note: i found there's another way (th-cam.com/video/HM17mAmLd7k/w-d-xo.html), replacing the 2D texture in the lateUpdate, the tutorial is from 2014 i haven't test it yet
the way you told is pretty impressive, and considering a player wouldnt have more than 30 images, 30 gameobjects also does not put load on the cpu, and also, no gameobjects are created or destroyed, just enabled and disabled... Yeah so ur solution is pretty cool
Cant think of a better way
I just install Unity and learn C# for like 2 months. So I wonder will my guess be usable?
instead of duplicating 30 animators, can we apply with code?
like create a pool of library and call the sprite that we actually need for player.
Use an animator override controller my dude. I use it to copy animation transitions without all the extra work because I can just drag and drop the animations and sprites I wanna use in and PRESTO!
For anyone who can't move after adding animator.SetFloat, make sure to click the player sprite and then drag the animator component into the "Animator" section of the Player Controller component!
Bro I was starting to panic when I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Thanks to you and all of the other helpful commenters I have been able to understand these small differences that drastically affect the game. Yee Yee.
Hey guys I found something It might be work on jump animation
Just take your 'ground check point' up a little higher then ground collider
cause if too deep it will check for twice (sry for my bad english:(
Great tutorial but I'm not sure why you'd skip the creation of the events. I get the point is to simply do the animations but I'm following the guide in my own character controller I made myself and now I'll have to research how to add events in. Not hard, but why skip over it, extra bonus content we could learn.
Help please: what should i put inside the inspector for the player, about What is Ground, about Ground check, about Ceiling Check and Crouch Disable Collider????
@@LeHalazoone did you follow the tutorial? If your not sure how to use the inspector with variables from a script yet sounds like you need to slow down and do more basic tutorials first.
I have a problem with my scripts that are not reconized, i can not join it to the inspector
@@LeHalazoone you don't join them to the inspector you put a script on a gameobject like the player object or simply a cube or even an empty gameobject then you can 'inspect' the script over on the inspector window. You should watch the unity tutorial roll the ball first. this is way to advanced for you atm. slow down and enjoy the learning phase of game dev, dont rush through it.
@@MaximumSpice Thanks very much.
I meant i drag and drop the script in the bottom of the object in the inspector. It is the same manipulation i think. I tried it many times and it works.

There is a bug in new version of the script for movement. On line (67), I guess they accidentally put !crouch instead of crouch. This bug makes your character be always in the crouch position. To fix the bug, just open the "Character Controller 2D" code and edit that little "!".

@@prestonthorniley It doesnt work :(
For the double tap jump animation
the issue is in the CharacterController2D script. In the statement "if (m_Grounded && Jump)" it returns this: "m_Grounded = false"
this should be changed to "m_Grounded = true"
I should have found this video at the start of the weekend! Great job explaining transitions! It all makes sense to me now! And yes, skeletal animation would be interesting to learn!
If your Jump animation is only showing up for a few milliseconds you have to put your Ground check a little Upwords.

still doesn't work...
1. it's Upwards
2. That doesnt work as then the ground check can't detect the ground at all.

Does anyone know why my character gets stuck on nothing? I have a box collider and circle colliders to smooth out the edges for my character's feet. I'll be walking and then it will get stuck, I can move backwards, but it is like there is an invisible barrier. When I jump over it, it goes away, and later an "invisible barrier" comes up in a different location.
Yeah, I've already experienced what you are saying. So I think I can help you. You might as well remake the collider on your character if you choose the circle or capsule shape for one of your character. Be sure not to change the SCALE. You should adjust the size only by changing RADIUS and HEIGHT of that collider. That's it.
I'll try it, thanks!

Go to CharacterController2D.cs to the code:

This will make sure you are falling before determine you are landing.
