Walk forward and rotate

Hey!

I would like my characters to walk forward, using a walk forward animation with root IK and at the same time slightly change their direction. So it should look like they are following a curved path/road.

The way I currently set this up:
1) I created an animation track for playing the animation
2) I created another animation track for changing the gameobject's rotation on the Y axis.

However, when they are played at the same time, the character rotates and the animation plays, but root motion is no longer applied, thus the character stays in one spot.

A video of this can be seen below:

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you!

 

I just noticed that when I swapped the order of walk forward animation track and the rotation track (I moved the walk forward track below the rotation track), the walk forward track worked and the character moved forward. But this time there was no rotation.

 

Sorry but the override track result is the same. Only the button track will be effective. My animation track and the override track are both using clips, one for root motion and another for rotation.

 

The problem here is that the override track completely overrides the position (it should only add rotation) of the rootmotion so the character is no longer moving forward.

Edit: I have uploaded a simple project of a sample scene of what I am doing, please take a look.

 

That's......kind of counter-intuitive way of doing it, right? I think what is missing here is really a kind of track that allow us to use root motion animation(or sample the movement curve inside the animation, then apply it to movement speed in timeline) to move along a curve/spline/path.

 

Animating the parent doesn't work because the rotation pivot doesn't change.
It is 2023 now, do you have a solution now?
