//Attach this script to the GameObject you want to animate //Create an Animator Controller component if you haven't already (Right click in the Assets folder and go to Create>Animator Controller). //Click and drag your Animator Controller into the Inspector of the GameObject you wish to animate. //In your Animator Controller, create and name two states- one as your default state, and one as the state you want to play ("Jump" in this case). Make sure to link both of these to the Entry state. //Press the space key in Play Mode to switch to the second state.
