If this Key is pressed do this animation

Question

this problem is currently stopping me from advancing in unity3d. I have seen the mecanim tutorial and I read the BotController script(it was in C# and i use java so i don't understand it). What I want to do is make it so that when e.g. The w key is pressed, it makes a transition to the walk animation and if i let go it goes back to idle

Hello, tinashee, you can use animation.CrossFade, here is the code:

JS:

 var player : GameObject;
 
 function Update()
 {
     if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
     {
         player.animation.CrossFade("Walk");
     }
 
     if(!Input.anyKey)
     {
         player.animation.CrossFade("Idle");
     }
 }

C#

    public GameObject player;
     
     void Update()
     {
         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W))
         {
             player.animation.CrossFade("Walk");
         }
     
         if(!Input.anyKey)
         {
             player.animation.CrossFade("Idle");
         }
     }

I get the error- the animation state Idle could not be played because it couldn't be found. I created an animation component and added the idle animation to it though...

The 'Idle' is the name of animation too.

If this Key is pressed do this animation
