Animation help??!

I spent an hour working on an idle animation for my character, he moves up and down as he breathes, and when I try to test the game, my character won’t move, but the animation plays.

And whenever I make an animation clip, a message appears on the console tab saying “This animation must be marked as Legacy”, but I don’t know what to do about that. Lastly, I watched a Unity tutorial on animation and the guy said there’s a button in the corner that makes the animation loop, play once etc. but it’s not there, the only thing that’s there is Dope Sheet and Curves.

This is actually a big problem, if I can’t get this fixed, I’ll have to cancel this game! (So to the moderator reading this, PLEASE approve this question.)

There is a fair amount to learn about creating and controlling a character using scripts, sample assets and controllers, besides just the animation and setting up humanoid characters. You should endeavour to use Mecanim rather than Legacy animation if you are working with Characters

http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/MecanimAnimationSystem.html

In any case you may find that a tutorial that runs you through the whole process of setting up a character as a player may help. This makes use of the awesome ‘sample assets’ to help you see how it’s done by example:

Good luck and have fun!
