Imported Animations: Make Local? or Other Fix?
Ok, I've been Googleing, and maybe I just didn't look hard enough.
I some imported arms that I made myself for a first person sword fighting game. I have all the animations separated into clips using the FBX exporter. When I used Mechanim to set Idle as the default animation, it made the object go back the the center of the screen and play the idle animation. I read that to fix this, I should make the object a child of another object, so I made the arms a child of the First Person Controller. But now, when I hit play, it moves my arms away from where I positioned them on the character controller, but it follows the character controller. (I'm using Blender)
Really, the easiest thing to do would be to make the animations local, but I can't figure out how to do that! How can I make the animations not effect the position of the arms?
(Thanks in advace! :D)
I think I figured it out. If I set the Animation Type to be "Legacy" it worked. You can find that setting in the FBX Exporter under the Rig Options. Now my arms are staying with the controller!
I think I remember a while ago having this issue and plopping the animating objects into a parent empty gameobject had some success.
Otherwise, maybe it's a freeze transformations type issue (resetting the location values to 0) on behalf of the animation software.
