root motion stops working with blended animator layers

Question

Hi there.

My project currently has 2 layers: Base and Actions. All the locomotion animations are stored on Base, and a few various upper body specific states are on Actions. The Actions Layer is set to Override.

I've created my Avatar Mask with the legs and feet turned off and upper body parts turned on. I have my layers working, and I can see things working in game.

Except.

If the LayerWeight for the Actions layer is set to 1.0f (100%), then the root motion of the locomotion animations stops. As I adjust the Actions layer weight from say 1.0 down to 0.5, the root motion kicks in (in relation to the value of the weight, almost like a LERP) but the rootmotion movement is no longer as fast as it should be. Changing the layer from Override to Additive doesn't help, in fact, it makes things a lot worse.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Suggetions?

thanks David

I'm also having this issue.. I would like to slightly override the legs when i do an attack animation so i've got a synced layer to my upper body that has a low weight just for the legs.. if you play skyrim it seems like they're character does something like that.. but when i do it something with the root motion gets funky and the player gets teleported slightly after the attack is done... any insight anyone has would be appreciated
