Question

Hi

I am trying to activate a fall animation when the character controller is falling to the ground.

I can't seem to get it working :/

I was wondering if there was a solution to the problem!

Here is the animation code I have written so far

function Update () { var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);

animation["jump"].layer = 1;
animation["fall"].layer = 1;

//Horizontal & Vertical Animations

if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0.1)

    animation.CrossFade("jogForwards");

else if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") < -0.1)

    animation.CrossFade("jogBackwards");

else if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0.1)

    animation.CrossFade("jogRight");

else if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") < -0.1)

    animation.CrossFade("jogLeft");    

else

    animation.CrossFade("idle");

if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))

    animation.Play("jump");

}

You can check the y component of the velocity vector and if it is less than 0 (i.e your character is falling down) play the animation.

void FixedUpdate()
{
    if(rigidbody.velocity.y < 0f)
    {
      animation.CrossFade("fall");
    }
}

It didn't seem to work :/

I'm using a character controller if that makes any difference to the code you wrote?

Also void FixedUpdate() isn't recognised

Thank you for your reply aswell :D

void is C#. If you using javascript change it to function. You need to add a rigidbody to your character controller. You also need to debug the speed so you can tell if it works.
