Animator set float












0















I am beginner in developing a game in unity3d. I just found a script for moving a character. So, I'm just confused a little bit in this script. Here's the code that I don't understand.



if (Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") == 0 && Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") == 0) {

animator.SetFloat ("PlayerState", IDLE);
}


I don't understand the line: animator.SetFloat("PlayerState", IDLE);



What is PlayerState and IDLE? I know it's a parameter. Is IDLE a variable? How does it works? Can you enlighten me guys?



PS: On the source code that I found, you can't actually see any variables.



Added Code



Another code that I don't understand. Assume that the player holds the LShift and W key then the character will run, right? How did the script checks the animator if the character will run? Another thing is, since I have a variable RUN which has a value of 4f, will I remove the line moveSpeed = 4f; or not?



Here is the script:



if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.LeftShift)) {
if (Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") > 0) {

moveSpeed = 4f;

Quaternion turnAngle = Quaternion.Euler (0, centerPoint.eulerAngles.y, 0);
character.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (character.rotation, turnAngle, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed);
animator.SetFloat ("PlayerState", RUN);
}
}

  • It's probably some variable float IDLE = 0f

  • 1. If you have a new question please open a new one. 2. In this case don't, I'ld rather suggest you take a step back and watch some tutorials on the basics of c# and Unity.

Documentation is your friend. The method you are talking about is explained in detail here.



Basically animator variable is a reference to Animator object, which you created using Unity's Animator. Here is a picture to the menu I am talking about.enter image description here



"PlayerState" in your example code is an condition you create in Unity's Animator. In the picture I pasted the condition is "horizontalSpeed". Most probably IDLE is defined somewhere else in the code you pasted, and must be a value which will set the animation to IDLE state such as float IDLE = 0f
