Unity 2021 Animator Controller Beginner Tutorial

In this Unity 2021 beginner tutorial I show how to setup an animator controller for a simple model we created with Blender that has skeletal animations. I add two triggers to activate the states for the animation (open and close) and then I write a C# script that uses the attached Animator controller to play the animations when the Keys O or C are pressed.

I don't know how many times I come back to this tutorial! It's perfect every time

[michaelhill]

This is perfect. Easy to understand for beginners, and advanced game devs. I don't know how many times I'll come back to this, but it will sure be a ton!

[just_rogers]

This is exactly what i needed, keep making videos like this!

[otohime]

This video is simply perfect, it is the basic well explained. I feel like I can do anything now!

You must attach the script to the game object as a component. You can do this by dragging the script from the assets to the inspector, when the game object is open in the inspector.

How do I do this for a walking animation? & only have it happen while the button is held down

[FootknightProductions]

Excellent little video, worked perfectly (once I had a close look at my project and realized I had my transitions in the wrong place!). Thanks for your help! *slaps "Like" button*

Will this work for a character controller or just door openings

[Jono]

please make more tutorials like this in the future

Why is this setup with triggers and not an "isOpen" boolean? Is it not possible to reverse an animation based on transitioning back on boolean condition?
