[2D] Sprites Unity Complex or Mechanim

Xidore

I notice the mention in the manual of SPRITES UNITY COMPLEX.

I thought I had been using MECHANIM for my 2D animation control but I used the UNITY SPRITES tutorial to get it in there. I'm definitely using Mechanim custom animations for object movements.

Have I made a ludicrous mix of modes or is the difference unimportant?

 

Would the better approach be to use the S-U-C method with numerically defined directions?

Things appear to work how I've done them. Well, for now

The standard AC Unity sprites method also uses Mechanim, at least that's how I'm using it, much the same as you. It seems a little weird, but as long as you put sprite renderers on your characters and animate them using clips you put in a mechanim animator I think you're doing it right

Cool. Yeah I think that's what I'm doing...

I had a little go today actually setting the sprite player animation type to "Mechanim" and quickly set it back again,..yeah it's not the way to do it for 2D
