[General] Adding a Dash Animation

[Cam]

Heys guys
so ive added dah to the player working well.
the thing im stuck with is animating the dash

ill post my new playerAnimator.cs so you can see

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerAnimator : MonoBehaviour
{
    //References
    Animator am;
    PlayerMovement pm;
    public bool isDashing;

    SpriteRenderer sr;

    void Start()
    {
        am = GetComponent<Animator>();
        pm = GetComponent<PlayerMovement>();
        sr = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (pm.moveDir.x != 0 || pm.moveDir.y != 0)
        {
            am.SetBool("Move", true);
            am.SetBool("isDashing", false);

            SpriteDirectionChecker();
        }
        else
        {
            am.SetBool("Move", false);
        }
            if (isDashing)
            {
                am.SetBool("isDashing", true);
                am.SetBool("Move", false);

            }
    }

    void SpriteDirectionChecker()
    {
        if (pm.lastHorizontalVector < 0)
        {
            sr.flipX = true;
        }
        else
        {
            sr.flipX = false;
        }
    }
}

not sure if ive done it right but looks right but now working, wont change in the animator

happy to also show my dash code if anyone wants it

Cam, instead of using a boolean, it will be better to use a trigger for the dash animation. Then, in your Animator, set the exit transition of the dash animation to have an Exit Time of 1 back to the Idle or Run animation. This way, when you trigger the dash animation, it will naturally play once, then go back to the previous animation.

Your Amazing got it done !!!!!
