How to make mecanim animation stay at player's position

[TheRichardGamer]

Hi, I am kinda new to mecanim, and I’m starting to get the hang of it, and I’ve really succeeded. But there’s one problem when I walk back and forward, the problem is that the animations goes in front or behind the player depending on input, and I don’t want this to happen. So my question is, how do I make the animation stay put all the time?

Are you trying to keep the character model in the same position during the animation? If so, you’ll need to turn “Root Motion” off, and, depending on the animation, check the “Transform Position (Y)” and “Transform Position (XZ)” boxes when you have your animations selected in the project folder.

You can also go to mask (toward the bottom) in the animation and disable certain iks/transforms from moving by clicking on them to make them red.
