objects have different coordinate stuff when the game starts

disclaimer: i'm really new to unity

ANYWAYS

here's my problem:

a couple of the ingame objects have different positioning info when the game starts, which carries over to the editor

when i stop the game, they go back to being oriented how i want them to be. i can't play the game with them in the right spot though.

i sort of just would like to know what this means and how i could fix it. thanks

 

Is there an animation on them that moves the root transform?

 

i haven't animated any of the objects that are showing up in different locations; every object is just one nonmoving model. i also don't know what the "root transform" is, though?

i have done zero scripting

 

The root transform is the first transform on an object (some have multiple transforms such as bones). Look at the object in the hierarchy and see if it has an animation component with "Play Automatically" checked. If so, either uncheck that or simply remove the animation component if you aren't planning on animating it later.

You can also drag it from the Project tab to the Hierarchy tab which places it in the scene in the default position and then create an empty game object to parent it to and move the empty, that way any root transform animations won't actually move it anywhere.

Scripting has nothing to do with this as it is all internal functions of Unity.

 

oh wow yeah i unchecked the animation component and it shows up correctly ingame now

THANK YOU! you're great

does anyone know why the animation component reorients it though because i'm trying to understand this
