Third person new user question

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I’m using the third person demo. I’m trying to rebuilt a scene just to get used to the software. So I add the area and Goober. I attach the third person scripts to Goober, using the same parameters as the 'Basic character setup" demo file. Goober can jump, turn in the direction I want. The animation (walk) works but he just doesn’t move around. He stays in the same spot all the time. What am I doing wrong? I’m sure it’s something stupid but after one day of research I could’t find it.

Help me Obiwan Kenobi. You’re my only hope…

make sure the goober is not physically in the floor mesh - if even just a little bit this can hold him in place. raise him up some (so that he falls a bit when you press play) and he should move fine. make sure you’re moving the root object up, the one that’s at the top of the hierarchy (in this case “goober”), and not just a child object like the poly surface.

; )

I knew it was something stupid… It worked… obviously. Now it’s time to make a kick ass game!

Thanks for your help (and fast answer)!
