Animating main player to shoot while walking

butterbean

I've animated my main character to shoot and hold out the weapon while standing still, but when walking, and shooting it looks glitchy, where do I place the animation piece while she's walking/running and shooting?

Do you create an animation of your character both shooting and walking at the same time? What I'd do is this.

If walking = true and space bar is down
Animate "walking+shooting"
If walking = false and space bar is down
Animate "shooting""

Just gonna take more graphics work on your part.

I do need to create an animation with running plus shooting

So if I already have the rules for walking right, walking left, and shooting, then I need to create a separate rule like you said above, and create the animations for walking/shooting right?

What is the spacebar key for? That one I use for jumping at the moment, so I can just replace that with the shooting button I have declared which is right shift?

Thanks!

Yeah, a rule for each of the three actions (left, right, standing still), and you're gonna need to create animations for shooting while walking left, while walking right, and shooting while standing still. Fun, huh?

Space bar was just the key I used for shooting, but (obviously) you can replace it with anything.
