SGD300-AnimatorController Class

1. Introduction

In this week, I continued my work about character animation.

Last week, I tested and completed animation of player. However, I found out that the player's character is not working with Movement script we already made.

As a result, I worked on Animation Controller, which works with scripts already made and able to add any kind of animation to player character.

2. Accomplishment

As mentioned, I was working on animation controller and this script enable player character to read the scripts and add some animation motions.

Also, I found out that on Unity Asset Store, the provide some default scripts and assets for the developers to reduce their time. However, as a student I want to finish this task by myself.

3. Problems

Of course, I had some problem when working on this script. First of all, I took so much time on researching information. Also, I did not know where to start.

4. Tackle the Problems

So, I concentrated and try to understand the function of the script I am working on.

This script is all about utilizing other scripts and enable to add other movement whenever we need. 

So, I start with reading other scripts and reference these scripts in Animation Controller. I also, read Attacking scripts. It is because, this will be my next week task.

I noticed that using pathfinding script has all the functions for moving and finding way. So, I only need to work on key setting which means whenever player press left mouse button, my script will allow character to use pathfinding script.

As a result, I worked on that functions referencing pathfinding script and connect it to animations (walking, Attacking and idle position)

5. Lesson learned

- Handling functions by referencing other scrips

- Controlling animation by using boolean state
