Character Animation Problem

Unity Engine
1

I have a character I modeled in 3ds max and animated him using bones in 3ds max. I imported him through unity and broke apart the RUN and IDLE animations. They work fine however when pressing UP to RUN he runs sideways to the right and when pressing down he runs sideways to the left. I’m using the SampleMoveScript as base script for movement.

var speed = 3.0;
var rotatationSpeed = 200.0;
private var curSpeed = 0.0;

function Update () {
// Rotate around y-axis
var newRotation = Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”) * rotatationSpeed;
transform.Rotate(0, newRotation * Time.deltaTime, 0);

// Calculate speed
var newSpeed = Input.GetAxis(“Vertical”) * speed;
if (Input.GetKey(“left shift”))
newSpeed *= 1.5;

// Move the controller
var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent (CharacterController);
var forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
controller.SimpleMove(forward * newSpeed);

// Update the speed in the Animation script
SendMessage(“SetCurrentSpeed”, newSpeed, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
SendMessage(“SetCurrentLean”, Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”), SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
}

@script RequireComponent (CharacterController)

Your character was probably imported at a rotation other then 0,0,0

i’m not so familiar with max, but it’s a know issue.
