Question by Tycellent · Sep 01, 2015 at 08:50 AM · animationmultiple

Play animation a specific number of times

I'm currently trying to have my animation run multiple times after a click on the object. So for example, my animation runs for 1 second and i'd like for it to play 5 times.

     public Animator anim;
 
     void Start () {
         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
     }
 
     void OnMouseDown() {
         for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
         {
             anim.Play("wave", -1, 0f);
         }
     }

This however does not function as i intended. Hope someone here can help me out!

Sincerely,

Comment

Hello.

You can use Coroutine.

Like:

       void Start ()
       {
             anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
             StartCoroutine(PlayAnimInterval(5, 1F));
       }

      private IEnumerator    PlayAnimInterval(int n, float time)
      {
          while (n > 0)
          {
              anim.Play("wave", -1, 0F);
              --n;
              yield return new WaitForSeconds(time);
          }
      }

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the animation continues to play despite the changes. It continuously plays.

Are you sure you want to use Animator ins$$anonymous$$d of a Animation? With Animation you can call .Stop() after the loop.
