Easier way how to do it

if(MyRigidBody.velocity.x != 0)
        {
         MyAnimator.SetBool("IsRunning", true);
        }
        else
        {
          MyAnimator.SetBool("IsRunning", false);   
        }

Great job!

This is great! We had the same thought! Only that because I’ve worked so much with bools (in javascript LOL) I approached with an even shorter solution (1 liner!):

playerAnimator.SetBool("isRunning", playerVelocity.x != 0);

The != operator is the “inequality” operator which returns a bool, and because it is a bool and we are comparing the X velocity to check if the player is moving or not, it is already returning the bool value we’re looking for, so we can set that value right away!

This just made my sprite flicker left and right
