Question animator and movement

Hello, I have a problem, I'm doing several tests in unity, following some tutorials I created a character whose movement logics are in an empty parent object called player simply including the character controller, now ... everything works fine except one thing, i have an animation of vaulting over an obstacle...this animation runs just right and everything seems to be where it should be....the problem is that actually the character controller collider and all its elements don't follow the movement of the animation while remaining distant ... so I tried to do several tests ... through actions by checking the position with get position ... of each object and even of the animator and although visually it seems to move in reality the positions do not change, I apologize if I was not clear but I'm a total beginner and I hope I have made the idea...

 

I post two videos, seeing what happens is worth a thousand explanations...

in the first video the player walks, runs, jumps and rolls on the ground after jumping only and only after a run, and so far so good

the problem arises here, i haven't added any script or fsm yet to control the vault animation but i started it by manually setting vault to true in the animator just to show what happens, as you can see the model moves but the collider and that is the character controller remains in the starting position causing many problems ...

 

You'll have to do 2 configurations:
1. You're using "Bake into pose" in the "Root Transform Position" settings in your AnimationClip, meaning the moving would only be as a part of animation, but not real Transform moving of root.
After uncheck the baking option, you would notice that the "Vampire" GameObject is Actually moving (if your Animator's "Apply Root Motion" is on).

2. However, your real root is not at the "Vampire", but the "Player". So, you'll have to relay your position & rotation changes up to your "Player".
Thankfully, it can be achieved by OnAnimatorMove() event function.
Here's a sample script of relaying position change to root's Transform:

Code (CSharp):

1. // this component should be attached on the same GameObject of the Animator
2. public class RootMotionRelay : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.     [SerializeField] private Animator animator;
5.     // your real root
6.     [SerializeField] private Transform playerRootTrs;
7.  
8.     private void OnAnimatorMove()
9.     {
10.         // you have to adjust this moving part to your CharacterController version
11.         playerRootTrs.position += animator.deltaPosition;
12.         playerRootTrs.rotation = animator.deltaRotation * playerRootTrs.rotation;
13.     }
14. }

You'll need to adjust this to your CharacterController version.

 

thank you very much, as soon as I can I try, I understood a little in theory but I didn't know how to apply it, thank you very much

 

great, it works ... thank you very much
