Falling Animation

Questions & Answers
1

So, I tried adding an animation to my character that plays whenever he falls from a certain height... The fall-detection works, but the animation always resets his transform to 0,0,0. I heard that in order to have an animation play locally to the current position of the gameObject, you need to attach it to an empty parent object of it. I tried that but it just. doesn't. work. It never plays.

private var fell : boolean = false;

    var target : GameObject;

    function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) 
    {
        if (collision.relativeVelocity.magnitude > 8)
        {
            fell = true;
        }
    }

    function Start()
    {
       if(fell)
       {
            target = GameObject.Find("target");
            target.animation.Play("FallingAnimation");
        }
    }

The target is the parent object containing the animation. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible? X(

we have encountered this problem alot. We decided to make animations in our 3d modelling software then call on them in unity. If nothing else works do that.
