Run Animation Sprite Sheet from Megaman X

Animation is a key part of making a game look great! Unity makes it extremely simple to bring your animations into the game. First, with the object you want to select in the hierarchy, open up Window > Animation > Animation on the task bar. This will open up the animation window, which can then be docked on any of the tabs you have open. You will want to choose a larger tab in order to better view the animation window.

Once open, you can then click on the Record button to begin your animation. From there, you simply drag the animation frames into the timeline and click the record button again to stop the recording.

Once created, you can then play the animation from the toolbar and check to make sure it is animating properly.
