Help: Scripting Animation for Walking

[LluvianParticipant]

Hello Community,

I am trying to use the Sentrino Necromancer model as a main player control character with click to move as a control. I am able to get the model to move in the C# script below but when I try to use Component<Animation>() to allow him to walk2 it says it can not find it. What am I doing wrong and how should I correct this? Is there a prebuilt walking script I am overlooking with the animation already in there? I am new to game development and I am using Unity 5. Thanks in Advance!

I probably wouldn’t try to control movement and animation through code. That’s part of what RAIN is intended to do for you. Your best bet is to replace the behavior tree to respond to mouse click events by setting a move target.

Instead of this:

// Moves the Player if the Left Mouse Button was clicked
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && GUIUtility.hotControl == 0)
        {
            Plane playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, myTransform.position);
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
            float hitdist = 0.0f;
            if (playerPlane.Raycast(ray, out hitdist))
            {
                Vector3 targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
                destinationPosition = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
                Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
                myTransform.rotation = targetRotation;
            }
            anim.SetTrigger(walk);
        }

do something like this:

AIRig aiRig = GetComponentInChildren<AIRig>();
        // Moves the Player if the Left Mouse Button was clicked
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && GUIUtility.hotControl == 0)
        {
            Plane playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, myTransform.position);
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
            float hitdist = 0.0f;
            if (playerPlane.Raycast(ray, out hitdist))
            {
                Vector3 targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
                aiRig.AI.WorkingMemory.SetItem<Vector3>("moveTarget", targetPoint); //you will have to get
            }
        }

and then create your own behavior tree that uses a Move node to go to the moveTarget.
