I'm trying to make a simple hack'n slash game with real time battles and have some questions.
Is there a way to stop my player movement while performing an attack?
I have an attack event set up like this: start > play attack animation > wait 0.5s. Using mecanim animations.
If I press an attack button while running, player just freezes for 0.5s and no animation plays.
If I remove the "wait" node, player briefly stops and continues running, also no attack animation.
I need him to stop running and perform an attack.

Add a Wait node before playing the attack animation, e.g. wait for 0.1 seconds (or even 0.0 to just wait a frame).
Mecanim might just ignore your request to play the attack animation due to being in transition or not having a transition from the current state.

That worked great, thank you.
