Pixel Joint Forum: How to Handle Instance Animation on Moving Char

Message

I want to get into Pixel Art&Animation for Gaming in Combination with Learning Unity so i am new with all that Stuff.

The
 Question i have right now is about how do you handle/structure a 
Instance Animation which happens during a already Triggered Animation. 
For example the Robot below. Lets say i triggered the Jump and the 
Animation happens but during the Jump i fire the Weapons which should 
get animated too (currently no example). How exaclty do i have to 
structure that to have a gun fire Animation when i want to shoot while 
being in all these different Char Animation States? 

edit- is there a reason that i cant post images?
Idle
Jump
Walk

	I don't fully understand your question, but this sounds more like a Unity problem (and should be asked on the Unity forums) and not directly relevant to pixel art. It does sound like you might want to split your sprite into two sprites though and animate them separately, such as having the lower half (legs) do the jump/run animation and the upper half (arms) do the firing animation.
