How do you store and call last direction pressed for idle animations?
I'm trying to code two different idle animations--one for facing right, and one for facing left. By default, my character as of now only plays the idle animation facing right. My code looks like this:
if (Input.GetKey("d"))
{
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(hSpeed, rb2d.velocity.y);
if (isGrounded)
animator.Play("RunR");
}
else if(Input.GetKey("a"))
{
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(-hSpeed, rb2d.velocity.y);
if (isGrounded)
animator.Play("RunL");
}
else{
if (isGrounded)
animator.Play("IdleR");
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(0, rb2d.velocity.y);
I know the best thing to do is to somehow store the last key press as a velocity, and then call that last velocity to determine the correct idle animation (be it "IdleR" or "IdleL"). Can someone explain how to do it?
bool playerDirectionRight = true; // start position true=right, false=left
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKey("d"))
{
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(hSpeed, rb2d.velocity.y);
if (isGrounded)
animator.Play("RunR");
playerDirectionRight = true; // set true for facing right
}
else if (Input.GetKey("a"))
{
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(-hSpeed, rb2d.velocity.y);
if (isGrounded)
animator.Play("RunL");
playerDirectionRight = false; // set false for facing left
}
else if(playerDirectionRight)
{
if (isGrounded)
animator.Play("IdleR");
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(0, rb2d.velocity.y);
}
else
{
if (isGrounded)
animator.Play("IdleL");
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(0, rb2d.velocity.y);
}
}
