Rotation resetted on start

Questions & Answers
1

I insert an NPC prefab in a scene and i rotate it to 270,0,0 (using the editor). There aren’t any scripts attached to this prefab yet and when i press play to test how it looks like the NPC is rotated to 0,0,0. Any idea about why it happens?

Edit
The npc’s model is animated using mecanim :slight_smile:

Then it is most likely the animation. Try removing the start animation, see if it works, if so then the animation is starting at 0,0,0 world rotation.

I often place animated GameObjects inside an empty GameObject. This makes the animation relative to the Empty GO’s position / rotation. You can then set the parent GameObject’s rotation to 270,0,0 and the animation will start from there, instead of 0,0,0.

Good Luck.
