How to Control animator of child objects
I have a parent with an object as a child. I have also referenced the child in the parent as
public GameObject guy;
The child game object has an Animator controller attached with "Idle" and "Jump" animations. I have a transition that goes from Idle to jump with a bool condition of "jump - true".
On the parent object I would like to trigger this condition. I have tried
guy.anim.SetBool("Transform", true);
I keep getting "Type UnityEngine.GameObject' does not contain a definition for anim' and no extension method anim' of type UnityEngine.GameObject' could be found"
I have
private Animator anim;
in the scripts of both the parent and child objects... Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Well, the parent does not see the components on the child, you have to get them by hand.
Try
guyAnim = guy.GetComponent<Animator>();
and then set the bool on the "anim":
guyAnim.SetBool("jump", true);
