Hi there
sorry to be a pain but i'm stuck again with my 3D animation of a character.
Using " PlayObjectAnimation( 10, "", 0.0, -1, 1, 0 ) " starts the character to walk for 2 steps but instead of continuing the walk from its new position it jumps back to the original start point and the takes another 2 steps and so on.
How do i get it from returning to its original start point every loop. I basically want it to walk forward until i want it to stop.

Thanks

Ah, your Mixamo character has root motion?

go back to Mixamo, redownload the character but select "In Place" on the movement animation .. if you downloaded an animation pack then some extra work is needed in blender to remove the root motion from the hip bone

Hi PartTimerCoder, Thanks for that bit of info which helps to some degree.
The walking does loop continuously now but basically on the same spot.
I guess now that i need to somehow incorporate the "x,y,z object positioning" to be in relation to the animation movement ?
Starting to get even more complicated.

That is exactly what you want, the game engine should be responsible for moving the object.

Now simply use MoveObjectLocalZ

or look for the character controller example from the 3D physics, but that's a little advanced

Many thanks PTC, youv'e helped a great deal. Would never of even got this far without your help.

I would be surprised if many have created a moving 3D character project as its turning out to be very difficult, with little help from the TGC documentation or examples.

Thank goodness for the forum
