Character moving up when animated.

Question

Hi there. I am new to the forum, t$$anonymous$$s is my first question here, started working with Unity sometime ago and I am doing my best at learning it, made some progress but found some dead ends.

I followed the tutorials to set up animations to my character and it worked pretty well, or so I thought.

My animations work when I press the said key, all animations are working, however, somet$$anonymous$$ng seen to be going wrong.

When I set up my character animated she goes some distance up, I don't really know how to explain it... I made a video just in case.

What happens is that, with animations, she goes up a bit, quite a bit; without animations she stay right in place, no unwanted translations.

It might have somet$$anonymous$$ng to do with the script I made... It was made just following Unity's site tutorial.

In case it is relevant, my animations are from Mixamo, the Unlimited Mixamo Store (default, not the Mecanim one) and all in .anim file. As they work, I am not sure if the animations are the problem, in the animation preview (w$$anonymous$$ch I forgot to record) the character is right on the ground.

I tried to set up a character controller, for what I know it was supposed to make my character $$anonymous$$t the ground and stop there, not working...

I also tried (not in the video) to set up RigidBody, but then the character falls like crazy, getting past the ground and going on forever...

Not sure what to look for anymore... Saw a lot of tutorials explaining many stuff, so far, not$$anonymous$$ng worked.

I was once able to set up the character to be controllabe using the T$$anonymous$$rdPersonController (From Lerpz's demo), I could control the character, however, she was still floating and now, for some reason, the controller doesn't work anymore, but that is another t$$anonymous$$ng.

I would really appreciate any tip here. Thanks for your time.

Here's the video showing what is happening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFSlFF-2dac&feature=youtu.be

OBS: Up (W), Down(S), Left(A), Right(D), Skill(Space), Run(S$$anonymous$$ft) are Axis I made to have better control over the commands.

T$$anonymous$$s is the script I made:

 function Start () {
    // Set all animations to loop
    animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;
    // except skill
    animation["Allie - Default@standing backflip - loop"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
    
    
     // Put idle and walk into lower layers (The default layer is always 0)
    // T$$anonymous$$s will do two t$$anonymous$$ngs
    // - Since backflip and idle/walk are in different layers they will not affect
    //   each other's playback when calling CrossFade.
    // - Since backflip is in a $$anonymous$$gher layer, the animation will replace idle/walk
    //   animations when faded in.
    animation["Allie - Default@standing backflip - loop"].layer = 1;
    
     
    // Stop animations that are already playing
    //(In case user forgot to disable play automatically)
    animation.Stop();
 }
    
    function Update () {
    // Based on the key pressed,
    // play the walk animation 
   
        //T$$anonymous$$s handles the forward animation
         if (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Up"))
             animation.CrossFade ("Allie - Default@female walk - loop");       
              
        //T$$anonymous$$s handles the backward animation      
         if (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Down"))
             animation.CrossFade ("Allie - Default@female walk backwards - loop");  
                 
        //T$$anonymous$$s handles the left animation        
         if (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Left"))
             animation.CrossFade ("Allie - Default@walking strafe to the left - loop");
  
        //T$$anonymous$$s handles the right animation               
         if (Input.GetAxisRaw ("Right"))
             animation.CrossFade ("Allie - Default@walking strafe to the right - loop");

You have to disable motion on the Y Axis.

You can do t$$anonymous$$s simply by checking "BAKE IN TO POSE", for Y, in the animation import settings.

alt text

T$$anonymous$$s should solve your problem.

Note that generally you leave the "based upon" value simply as "original". (W$$anonymous$$chever of the three settings you choose for "based upon", it does not either way affect the "floating upwards" problem described here in t$$anonymous$$s question.)

Note that of course you can not turn off root motion. The actual walking/turning motion (so, on x and z) is the root motion!

Was wondering if you had any idea why this is not available in 2017. I have imported a bunch of fbx animations from Mixamo, and they are all too high, but I don't have the Root Transformations items.

Is your rig marked as 'Humanoid'? If not the options such as Root Transformation items won't be available (for example if your rig is marked as 'Generic' which I believe is the default import option).

Is there a solution to this with a Generic rig?
