How to layer animations
Hi! This the way i set up my player. Its a 2D game and each part of the player is a sprite.

I have an animator on the "Player" object so i can animate the different body parts. The legs have a walking animation. Now i want the weapon to have a firing animation. The firing animation needs to play weather the player is in Idle moder or is playing the Walking animation. How do i achive this? Is this done through layering or should the weapon have its own animator and states?
I wish I had a better answer but you should watch this official Unity $$anonymous$$ecanim tutorial video if you haven't:

I think they start talking about doing animations for specific body parts at 43 $$anonymous$$utes 45 seconds.
Animations in Unity are not my strong point at all though I generally just use Legacy and use unique animations rather than trying to combine them. For example I have a run while punching animation in addition to a standing punch animation, I really need to learn how to use all the animation stuff a lot better.
But hopefully someone can give you some better answers if that video doesn't help enough.

Sounds to me like you can use that achieve what you are asking about
