2 animations keep switching at a rapid pace
I am working on a personal prototype for a open world game and i am currently trying to make my first enemy ai. This is the way i have it set up:
The first second it spawns it records its spawning location into a vector3 var known as lastpos.
It stays at that location with an idle animation playing (moving = 0)
There is a sphere trigger around the enemy so when the player collides with the sphere it detects the player, it starts playing the running animation and starts chasing the playing (moving = 2)
when the player is not longer colliding with the sphere it walks back to lastpos while playing a walking animation (moving = 1)
when it goes back to its lastpos and the animation will go back to being idle.....or it should....
the problem i have with the last dot point is that my "moving" variable which is written to control the animations of the model keeps switching between 0 and 1 (or in other words the animations keep switching between idle and walking) and i have no idea whats going on. Its my first time designing an ai from scratch, if anyone could help me that would be great!
void Update () {
playerVector = player.transform.position;
gruntAnim.SetInteger ("moving", moving);
gruntAnim.SetInteger ("battle", inBattle);
moving = 0;
closeToPlayer = playerRange.GetComponent<combatDistanceToPlayer> ().enemyClose;
inBattle = 0;
if (playerDetected == true) {
nav.destination = player.transform.position;
inBattle = 1;
moving = 2;
if (closeToPlayer == true) {
moving = 0;
gruntAnim.SetBool ("attackablePlayer", true);
} else if (closeToPlayer == false) {
moving = 2;
gruntAnim.SetBool ("attackablePlayer", false);
}
//is the player currently detected and if he isnt then is the goblin back at the last position?
} else if (playerDetected == false & this.gameObject.transform.position != lastPos) {
nav.destination = lastPos;
inBattle = 0;
moving = 1;
}
if (this.gameObject.transform.position == lastPos) {
moving = 0;
}
}
actually i put in the debug.log command on this line of code
if (this.gameObject.transform.position == lastPos) {
moving = 0;
Debug.log("Goblin is back");
}
and nothing appears on the console. my prototype reacts as if that type of code is not there
okay its now been recognised but moving is still flicking between 0 and 1
Not sure if this is the problem but it could because you are setting moving to 0 here
if (this.gameObject.transform.position == lastPos) {
moving = 0;
}
Try moving that statement into this check, because you only need to do this if the player is not detected
else if (playerDetected == false & this.gameObject.transform.position != lastPos)
{
nav.destination = lastPos;
inBattle = 0;
moving = 1;
if (this.gameObject.transform.position == lastPos) {
moving = 0;
}
}
