this may sound like there are 1000 tutorials out there that accommodate but please hear me out.
I’m a noob and trying to make some zombies get up, turn and walk towards a location, I need them to be able to play hit and death animation too on command. but I don’t want a player character to be aiming or shooting anything. I want to trigger a zombie to get up and walk via one keypress (like ‘e’ key), and then have a designated key per zombie for hit and another key for death animation (eg if I have 3 zombies all walking to x location and I assign ‘j’ key to trigger hit animation on zombie 1,and ‘k’ key to trigger hit animation for zombie 2, and then ‘z’ key for death animation for zombie 1 etc). how can I achieve this? I’ve tried some AI, but that seems too complicated for my needs and thrown up problems like I couldn’t get the zombie to react to a (player) keyboard press, I also tried some spline animation but couldn’t get an hit animation to trigger via a blend pace… it feels like it’s an easy request but I can’t find any tutorial that is close to what I need. can anyone help?
