Question Animation Override Controller Won't Play Given Clips

It seemed pretty straight forward at first, I create a base controller with the states/transitions I want, and with empty animation clips. Then, create the override controller specifically for my new NPC, add the animation clips I want for each of the states for that NPC, add that to the NPC's animator component, and then we're good.

Issue is, it will never play those clips in the override controller and only ever go down to the base controller and use those empty ones no matter what I do. I tried naming everything to match, and even started from scratch multiple times. I'm pretty close to giving up and just laboriously creating a controller from scratch for each NPC I make, which will take hours.

 

" with empty animation clips". I'm pretty sure you need base animations there for the override controller to work.

For example if your base character should have something Like "Base_Character_Walk", "Base_Character_Idle" etc.


Then in code you have something somewhere like

Code (CSharp):

1. animatorOverrideController["Base_Character_Idle"] = animations[0];
2.         animatorOverrideController["Base_Character_Walk"] = animations[1];

Could you link a screen shot of your animator set up?

 

I mean that the base animation controller has empty clips, then the override uses that base controller and I drag in the clips into the corresponding Overrides.

I have my NPC in a persistent scene, they have an Animator component and the controller points to the override controller. However, once the game starts all the overrides go to None (or whatever is in the base controller).
