Character "losing legs" when started

Unity Engine

Hi all…I’m working through Unity Learn’s Create with Code, Unit 3. I have no idea what happened, but now my character loses its legs as soon as the game starts.

Before pressing play:

After pressing play:
9837234--1415238--upload_2024-5-15_15-13-38.png

I thought the position was dropping, but, no, his legs are indeed gone (scene view…I raised him up a bit)

I went into the Animator tab and found this…

This is the character in “Idle” (note he is standing on the origin):

And this is the character in “Run Static” (which is what he is supposed to do as soon as the game starts). Note the center of his body is on the origin:

Thankful for ANY help or suggestions!!!

Honestly, your character looks like the default pose for when you try to use a generic animation on a humanoid rig. Have you checked those settings at all?

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I have no idea how to check that. Could you maybe give me a little direction?

Thank you!!!

Yeah sure! If you click your characters base model, the .fbx file, you can see the rig details in the inspector. Do this for both your animations and the character. Change the rig typing from generic to humanoid and you should be able to retarget the animations.

Check out the doc page as it will have a lot more info! Unity - Manual: Rig tab
