Implementing the turn animation

In this case, there is a single animation sequence that will be played when the zombie is turning to the right or left.

The FBX file containing the animation has already been imported. The next step is to add the resulting motion clip to the animator controller in its own state.

Adding the turning state

The turn animation is a single looping sequence used for a left or right turn:

1. Make sure that the Animator panel is visible and the base layer is active.

2. In the Project panel, locate the PACKT_Animations folder and click on it once to view its contents in the Assets panel.

3. Locate the zombie_turn asset and expand its hierarchy by clicking on the arrow next to its name.

4. Drag the zombie_turn animation into a blank area of the Animator panel to create a new state containing the clip.

5. In the Inspector panel, rename the state Turn:

   

Next, we will set up an appropriate parameter and create transitions to and from our existing states.
