Animations only work at the begining

[Brian_Kennedy]

for my fighter script: the only way that I can get the animations to work is that I put the target.TakeDamage(weaponDamage); inside the previous function. when i add it to void hit the attack and animations wont play. With low health the enemy will die before i even strike them. anay idea? I have zero references to void hit() I added the public and it didnt help

private void AttackBehaviour()
        {
            if (timeSinceLastAttack > timeBetweenAttacks) 
            {
                // This will trigger the Hit() event.
                GetComponent<Animator>().SetTrigger("attack");
                timeSinceLastAttack = 0;
               target.TakeDamage(weaponDamage);
            }
        }

        // Animation Event
        public void Hit()
        {
            //target.TakeDamage(weaponDamage);
        }

Hit() gets triggered by the attack animation. There is a specific time on the attack timeline that triggers the hit, and that’s where we want the target to take damage. I have posted about it here:

Confused About Hit() Event in This Lecture

Welcome to the community, @dingo131 Hit() is being called by the attack animation. You will find that the animation has an event defined at a specific point in its timeline: [image] When the animation reaches that point, it will try to call that function on the game object that the Animator is attached to. The function can be in any of the components attached to that game object. You can read more about animation events here:
