Using the same animation on duplicate objects.

I have a question and if this is in the wrong thread please let me know so that I could move it, I have a game object that I did an animation on in unity and when I either make another gameobject and add the animation or duplicate the gameobject with the same animation the objects lump together in the same position playing the animation. Now I am planning on having like about 30-40 of these game objects per stage do I have to make 40 different animations for each gameobject?



Thanks in advance for the reply's.

 

All the objects will snap to the same position because the animation is overriding their position.

To use the same animation at different positions, parent the object with the animation to an empty GameObject and move that to a new position. The animation will then play relative to the parent position.

Hope that makes sense!

 

Thanks for that, actually it does, about to try that now.

 

Well I got it to work which is crazy of why I had to do it this way but I made the empty gameObject and put the animation on that and it worked perfectly.

Thanks once again

 

You saved my ass. Thanks ~~~

 

Not Working to me. Must be doing something wrong.
