Character moves forward when sitting - Solved

Character has three sitting animations.

1. Stand to Sit
2. Sitting Idle
3. Sit to Stand

When a character is made to sit, it moves forward at the second part - sitting idle.


If I bake the Root Transform Position (XZ) of Stand to Sit, he sits down correctly, but moves forward when it gets to sitting idle.

I'd think this would be a common problem, but just can't find any tutorials on it. I'm not searching for the right term I reckon.

 

Worked out what was wrong. For any future googler's.

Root Motion was being handled by a script, and so changes to the Root Position during the stand-to-sit animation were not applied. Removed the script so there was a checkbox tick on Apply Root Motion.

Also in the stand-to-sit and sit-to-stand animation clips, should NOT Bake the Root Transform Position (XZ) into pose.


Starting to understand mecanim.

 

Glad you found the solution.
Nice clothing textures.

 

Thank you, I was searching for a couple of hours for a solution.
