Question by Heisenburger · Feb 14, 2015 at 09:57 AM · animation animator root motion mechanim

Trouble using root motion.

I'm having trouble using root motion in Unity 4.6~. I have a mech anim state machine with an idle and a walk. The walk moves the transform of the Animator owner 1 unit. When the state switches back to idle, that translation is undone (the idle has no animation clip on it). I have root motion checked, I'd expect the translation done by the walk anim to stay applied. Does anyone know how to accomplish this type of behavior?

Thanks

Bake x-z in Import

Thanks for the reply. I am not importing animations. $$anonymous$$erely making animation clips on each state of the state machine. The translation is actually x-y (maybe I should rotate my 2d game board). I'm thinking root motion might not be working because I don't have a rig. $$anonymous$$aybe I should be looking into a solution that smoothly keeps the translation of a state as it resets back to the idle state.
