Sometimes your animation comes as “in-place”, which means if you put it in a sceneA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info
See in Glossary, it will not move the character that it’s on. In other words, the animation does not contain “root motionMotion of character’s root node, whether it’s controlled by the animation itself or externally. More info
See in Glossary”. For this, we can modify root motion from script. To put everything together follow the steps below (note there are many variations of achieving the same result, this is just one recipe).
Finally, to control the motion, we will need to create a script (RootMotionScript.cs), that implements the OnAnimatorMove callback:-
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))]
public class RootMotionScript : MonoBehaviour {
void OnAnimatorMove()
{
Animator animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
if (animator)
{
Vector3 newPosition = transform.position;
newPosition.z += animator.GetFloat("Runspeed") * Time.deltaTime;
transform.position = newPosition;
}
}
}
You should attach RootMotionScript.cs to the “Dude” object. When you do this, the Animator componentA component on a model that animates that model using the Animation system. The component has a reference to an Animator Controller asset that controls the animation. More info
See in Glossary will detect that the script has an OnAnimatorMove function and show the Apply Root Motion property as Handled by Script
