function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) { other.transform.parent = gameObject.transform; } function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider) { other.transform.parent = null; }

I think the reason your character is changing its shape is because the scale of the platform he is standing on, isn't 1,1,1.

so when you make the platform his parent, your character changes his scale to fit the scale of the object he is parented to.

I have solved it. I had to Create an empty object and adding the Unity animation or any animation to it. Then add child to this empty object and those child are the model and the trigger.

In the Hierarcy it looks like this

    > EmptObject (name it anything you want)
           The model (which is moving)
           The tigger (which has the code)

So the model & the trigger are the children's on the empty object not each other. Any questions ask
