Question by dehan · Jun 03, 2012 at 06:57 AM · animationprefabmoving

Animation problems

Hello,

I keep getting this problem with my animations.

 The animation state Idle could not be played because it couldn't be found!

Please attach an animation clip with the name 'Idle' or call this function only for existing animations. UnityEngine.Animation:CrossFade(String) ThirdPersonController:Update() (at Assets/Habbo3D/Scripts/Game/Player/ThirdPersonController.cs:344)

So basicly my animations are in a different file, and i try to use it on a character prefab and it gives me that error, i try to move the animations to that characters directory and it doesn't let me (nothing happens)

Heres a picture:

Thanks

In order to use the animations in other files you need to name those files using a particular convention. Call you animations nameofyourmodel@nameofyouranimation. E.g. Character@Idle

You should just be able to rename the files directly or rename the in the Editor. What happens?

What is the file type of those files?

Also the animations shouldn't need to be a part of the prefab, the should go next to the model that you are animating.
