If mobile joystick is moved , then animation transforms from idle to walk?

Question

So i need help in my project.

Im trying to recognize joystick movement and then switching unity animations based on it. How can i do this? I have set the bool parameter "isWalking" correctly into animator with transactions.

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {
     if (Input.GetKey(""){  // IN HERE I AM SUPPOSED TO CONNECT TO JOYSTICK MOVEMENT 
         anim.SetBool("isWalking", true);
     }
     else
     {
         anim.SetBool("isWalking", false);
     }

 }

}

Try using GetAxis instead of getkey. because as far as i know getkey is for getting keyboard input and you have to use keycodes. getaxis is much better since its checking for a lot of input types and highly configurable. you need to use it like this however;

 if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 1)
 //right
 else if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") < 1)
 //left
 
 //or
 if(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") != 0)
 //move left right

Hey,

my code is now this:

     if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 1 ){ 
         anim.SetBool("isMoving", true);

     }
     else if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") < 1)
     { 
         anim.SetBool("isMoving", false);
     }

 }

}

Still no animation changing from idle -> walk.. :/ i have set bool parameter from animator with transactions , bool isMoving true -> goes to walk animation, and if bool is false -> goes back to idle.. Any ideas ?

if horizontal input > 0 it means right input, if its < 0 it means left input.

 if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") != 0)
 {
     anim.SetBool("is$$anonymous$$oving",true);
 }
 else
     anim.SetBool("is$$anonymous$$oving",false);

This is the correct way. however i cannot see why it shouldnt work. are you sure unity recognizes your joystick? maybe use Debug.Log(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) somewhere to check if it can. if it can; it's probably a problem from your animator. if it can't, check these out; https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetAxis.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-3S73$$anonymous$$aDP8

Hey man, thank you for your help!

The above code didnt work, i debugged it as u did advice and my game didnt regocnize any movement. i managed to solve my problem and now my animations are playing well when joystick is moved! Heres the code that works:

     if (joystick.Horizontal != 0)
     {
         anim.SetBool("is$$anonymous$$oving", true);
     }
     else
     {
         anim.SetBool("is$$anonymous$$oving", false);
     }


     // Vertical movement detection, if detected setting bool to true -> Animator plays the next animation
     if (joystick.Vertical != 0)
     {
         anim.SetBool("is$$anonymous$$oving", true);
     }
     else
     {
         anim.SetBool("is$$anonymous$$oving", false);
     }
