why input isn't working correctly?

@john_unity389 Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, I don't have internet. I will post what I can and shorthand it where possible. I know I should be using a desktop for this but you get by with what you got. My mouse is a touchpad. It just seems weird how the problem manifested, unless it was getting conflicting input that has no keyCode from the mouse.

No worries if you don't want to continue reading this. But, if you're interested in questioning my scripts, I can give you an idea what they do. Bear in mind, I'm a noob and I'm not crunching to finish a project just trying to get better at programming an understand how unity works, so I may doing things that can be done more easily with the GUI purposely.

I basically have three scripts to control player movement, animations, and actions. They talk to each other a little bit. -The movement script stores a string of the base layer animation state, which has idle walking jumping or falling.

[NonSerialized] string baseState="idle"; Update(){ProcessInputs} ProcessInputs(){ If (condition){baseState="walking" }else{baseState="idle"; }}

-The actions script stores 2 strings, one for the action of the input and one for the layer that the animation state is on. I'm not sure if it's the way I want the animations controlled yet.

[NonSerialized] string layer="base"; [NonSerialized] string "idle"; Update(){ ProcessInputs(); SetToBase(); } ProcessInputs(){ If (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")){ action="throw"; layer="arms"; }else if (layer !="base"){ action="idle"; }} SetToBase(){ if (action=="idle"){ layer="base"; }}

-The animator script takes the state name from the movement script and the layer and action from the actions script in update. It plays the state if the layer is not the base layer, otherwise it plays the state from the movement script.

Start and Update()- use getcomponent<>() for the NonSerialized variables. activeLayer = layer from actions action = from actions state = base state from movement

Animate(){ If( activeLayer !="base){ anim.Play(action, anim.GetLayerIndex(activeLayer)); }else{ anim.Play(state); }}

I used a separate state behavior script on the action state to set the layer weight to 1 and 0 respectively on enter and exit for the animation state.

Thanks, Ben
