Hi guys, so ive been digging since a couple days into this. I made an animation with blender which use the right hand to look like hes holding a flashlight. In unity, i created an avatarmask to use only right arm. And this is where i get lost. How can i use my animation while using that specific item?
edit: to specify what i did for now is i added the animation into the right hand layer in the animator controller, under defense. I added a trigger for the transition "UseFlashlight". Not sure if im in the right way but this is getting confusing. I never really used animator controller like you guys do, only did really basic stuff.

What we did was create the flashlight as a melee weapon (shield in our case), and when equipped it uses the holding animation in concrete.
In this way, the "heavy attack" can be used as a hit with the flashlight.

What about using a pistol in your right hand and a flashlight in your left? How can this be done? Quite an interesting question, which I also planned to ask.

My lantern is almost same as Legion wrote, expect it is marked as "Weapon" and you cant attack with it.
It uses its own MoveSetID too, literally copied and edited the normal idle & walk etc animations to hold the lantern.

It has the advantage that if you use the weapon holder, you can place the flashlight on the belt and control the ON / OFF with a simple script.

It shouldn't be very difficult if you use the events when equipping a pistol to enable the flashlight gameobject in your character hand, you should simply adapt the left hand using its IK point to make it look like it holds a flashlight, something like this:  It's possible that you need a new animation for the left hand. |
