Question by Queee · Feb 14, 2017 at 03:31 AM · animationscripting problemscriptingbasics

How do I make my speed be positive in any direction?

Hi, I'm making a top down 2d game and I am trying to set up the animations for my game. I currently have a transition from my idle animation to my blend tree for walking. The parameter I am using is speed. It is so when the speed is above 0 it goes to the tree and when it is less than .2 it goes back to the idle state. The problem is when I walk up the speed goes to one, but when I walk down it goes to -1 and when i go left and right it says at 0. Any help?

Here's my code

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class topdown : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
     public float moveSpeed;
     private Animator anim;
 
 
     public float speed;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start()
     {
         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < 0.5f)
         {
             transform.Translate(new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f));
         }
 
         if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < 0.5f)
         {
             transform.Translate(new Vector3(0f, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f));
         }
 
         anim.SetFloat("speed", Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"));
         anim.SetFloat("speed", Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
     }
 }

 float velocity = Mathf.Abs(new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical")).magnitude);
 anim.SetFloat("speed", velocity);

The idea is to create a 2D vector from the Input axes and get the magnitude/length. You then use Abs(); to flip the negative sign to positive.

How would /where would I add that in i added a float at the top named velocity and then added the thing you sent. but nothing happened. I also added a velocity parameter in the animator and that did nothing also.

It replaces the two anim.SetFloat lines at the bottom.
