Control animation using animator control class

Question

I did a sample existing code to control animation using animation.I dragged and dropped a character into the scene then I added a Animator to it and added the animator controller.Below I have given the screen short of the animation

Then I have attached the following code to it

Animator animator;

int eatHash=Animator.StringToHash("ideal");

int stateHash=Animator.StringToHash("Base Layer.pickbothfork");

void Start () {
    animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    //animator.SetBool ("isEat", true);
    float move = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
    animator.SetFloat ("Speed",move);

    AnimatorStateInfo stateinfo = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo (0);
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
    {
        Debug.Log ("clicked spacebar");
        animator.SetTrigger(eatHash);
    }
}

The problem here is the above code is working,when I run the project the animation is getting played one after the another according to the state diagram.But when I click on the space bar the trigger function(jump animation ) is not working

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
    Debug.Log ("clicked spacebar");
    animator.SetTrigger(eatHash);
}

Can anybody please help me finding solution for it

Answer 1

If you want to go from walk or run animation to the jump animation you have to create a specific transition for each of those. You can edit the transitions by right-clicking them and selecting edit.

Answer 2

You don't have any transitions from run/walk back to jump. Look at the arrows; you only have a transition from jump to run, not back from run to jump.

In other words, transitions are not bi-directional; they're only one way. If you want a transition that goes back to a previous state, then you need another arrow.
