Facing a problem with c# unity script anybody here to help?

Question

anybody here who could help me with a c# unity script?... i am working on a game where i want to click a ui button to activate an animation and stop+disable the animation after certain time and then enable the animation again whenever that ui button is clicked again.

Answer 1

I needed to do something like this as well. I dont know about a "proper" way, but the solution I came up with was to have a second "idle" animation.. In my script where I call the animation I added a timer and a bool. after I call the animation, a timer starts counting. once it reaches the time, I simply call the idle animation instead.

I have to goto work, but my script was something simple like this (psuedo code)...

private int timer =15;
private bool playing=false;

if(getKeyDown("a")){
anim.Play("FireAnimation");
playing=true;
}

if(playing){
timer--;
if(timer<0){
anim.Play("Idle");
timer=15;
playing=false;
}
}
