Adding full body controller to Unity fps Microgame

Hey Yall, I hope to find some help for a problem I'm facing. I am trying to add a full-body controller to the free fps microgame I have already created and rigged animations to a model and put the player character controller and player input handler on the model. However, when I try to play the game the model is just gliding across the floor without playing the animations. How should I edit the scripts so the animations come through?

I know I should make a whole new system but I don't know why I just love the feel and look of the fps microgame for some reason and any attempt I make to recreate it doesn't feel the same.

 

First thing that comes to mind is you have no NavMesh baked, and the controller has to be a NavMesh agent...

 

I dont know why that would be relevant to not playing animations - has nothing to do with what OP is asking.

OP, the answer is you need to call the correct functions on the target animator to actually trigger those animations. You make animation parameters (such as a bool to say "is running" or a float to represent movement speed) and then use those as state transitions in mecanim

then you use stuff like https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.SetTrigger.html for example to trigger the animations via the animator controller https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.2/Documentation/Manual/class-AnimatorController.html

You can read more about the animation system here and in following pages: https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.2/Documentation/Manual/AnimationOverview.html

Good luck
