Why cant i use animations on my character?

So i downloaded an animation pack from the asset store and i also downloaded a 3d model of a robot from the asset store also. How can i get the animations to work on the robot that i downloaded? I gave the robot an animation component and then put the “walk” animation as the default animation then checked the box “Play automatically”. There are no errors or anything. It just doesnt work. Can anyone help me? Thanks

highlight the robot.fbx file in ur project and it should display categorys of options within the inspector, These settings will include 3 categorys, the model the rig and the animations upon the robot, The particular section u want is the Rig because im assuming that the Animation u are trying to use is Humanoid while your Rig is probably defaulted to Generic, so in summary

  1. Highly your robot.
  2. Select the Rig section.
  3. Change Rig type to Humanoid.
  4. if this doesn’t work Check the referenced animations type and set it accordingly.

there are 3 types of animation Generic, Legacy, and Humanoid if it is made for a particular type
mainly Humanoid its likely that it wont work for the Others i hope this helps don’t hesitate to ask for more information.
and heres a screenshot to show u what ur looking for.
