Character not moving (with animation playing)

Hi,

please take a look at this:

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/ScriptingRootMotion.html

Unfortunately it seems that when the animations are done as "cycle" you will have to script your own "move" script, still using Mecanim however, it might be even better scripting your own, more control etc.

//just add this to your character script`

  void OnAnimatorMove()
     {
             Animator animator = GetComponent<Animator>(); 
                               
             if (animator)
             {
      Vector3 newPosition = transform.position;
                newPosition.z += animator.GetFloat("Runspeed") * Time.deltaTime; 
      transform.position = newPosition;
             }
     }

@krispastas Apply root motion doesnt work for me , i dont know why, and neither does the script up there, any solution? ,@krispastas not working for me, the guy still wont move, just plays animation in the same place... the script up there isnt working as well... dont know what to do

In case anyone stumbles upon this, the best solution is: Create an empty gameobject and parent all your rig's hierarchy and skinned meshes under it -name it animator -copy and paste the animator component from your parent gameobject to the animator gameobject you created

Everything should work fine. The idea is, you don't want to have the logic for movement on the same gameobject as the gameobject where your animator component is attached.

Hope this helps someone!
