We're now almost ready to animate the player character from a script. We just need to define the newly created script file. Consider the following code sample, and then a deeper explanation will follow:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class CharControl : MonoBehaviour
{
//Animator Controller
private Animator ThisAnimator = null;
//Float names
private int HorzFloat = Animator.StringToHash("Horz");
private int VertFloat = Animator.StringToHash("Vert");
void Awake()
{
//Get animator component on this object
ThisAnimator = GetComponent<Animator>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
//Read player input
float Vert = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
float Horz = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
//Set animator floating point values
ThisAnimator.SetFloat(HorzFloat, Horz, 0.2f, Time.deltaTime);
ThisAnimator.SetFloat(VertFloat, Vert, 0.2f, Time.deltaTime);
}
}Here...
