#jumping and how to not lose one's sanity doing it

sorry

#

this is probably easier

#

i was saying that i was making a bool in the movement class to reference to the animator class that the player is jumping

#

unless that wasnt what you were saying

#

ive tried bools, but now a float measuring height seems to be my only option

round yarrow
#

a bool would not "reference" the animation class

#

it's just a bool

#

you should have the player class reference the animation class

#

oh, I thought you had a separate class that was doing animation

#

you just have an Animator on there

public class ThirdPersonAnimation : MonoBehaviour
{
private Animator animator;
private Rigidbody rb;
public float maxHeight;
public float maxSpeed;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    animator = this.GetComponent<Animator>();
    rb = this.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    animator.SetFloat("speed", rb.velocity.magnitude / maxSpeed);
    animator.SetFloat("height", rb.velocity.magnitude / maxSpeed);
}

}

#

i do

round yarrow
#

you're referencing the animator

crisp rivet
#

yes, i am

#

so is it simply just working with the animator in UpdatedCharacterMovement, or...

round yarrow
#

someone needs to tell the animator to play the jump animation

#

my suggestion was for the ThirdPersonAnimation class to do that. UpdatedPlayerMovement would just tell it "hey, we just jumped", so that it can do its thing

#

it doesn't really matter where that code lives, as long as it lives somewhere

crisp rivet
#

private void DoJumping(InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
{
if (IsGrounded())
{
forceDirection += Vector3.up * JumpingForce;
isJumping == true;
}
}

#

public bool isJumping;

#

alright

#

this is in the updated movement

#

but now im trying think of how to get the animation class to register that the player has jumped

#

call upon the method in updated?

round yarrow
# 
if (IsGrounded())
{
  // code that makes you jump
}
#

call a method on the animation class in here

crisp rivet
#

wait, hold on

round yarrow
#

that method should do whatever needs to happen to play the jump animation.

crisp rivet
#

just a sec

#

what do you punch in the triple dashes with to make it look like that

#

oh, cs

#

got it

#

one sec

# 
thirdAniJimp = this.GetComponent<ThirdPersonAnimation>().Jumping();```
#

tossed it with the getcomponent lines for rb and animator component

#

WHY THE FUCK IS IT THIS HARD TO MAKE SOMETHING LOOK LIKE IT'S JUMPING

#

HOLY SHIT

#

... nvm

#

i think i found a solution

#

just use triggers

#

and now none of the animations are running
