Character "Slides" forward after stopping movement [solved]

[Devistute]

So as the title says, when stopping from walking the slide happens by little, but when stopping running

the character slides forward way more. It seems to happen in between transition from the walk & run to idle.

*The character slides forward in Idle animation, as if the ground was ice.

I'm recording video of it later tonight to show how it exactly happens.

Same here even with custom animations. happens sience 1.2.1

Hi, I figured it out here too. I thought it was something related to the duration of the transition between animations. But I have not tried to fiddle with that yet.

I tried, an it doesn't work. Might be bug perhaps?

That's actually a fix that we've added on the last update, we activate the root motion when the input is zero, enabling Random Idle animations to play correctly. This affects the transition from walk to idle animations which in my opinion improved the stop transition.

Please record a small clip or gif showing the issue because, in theory, this fix is enabling the root motion so sliding should not be happening at all.

I haven't tested this with out of box animations, i'm using my own which did work before correctly.

But here is the video.

Just thinking out loud, is vMoveSetSpeed added and running somewhere around here ? Using that is the only time I've noticed some sliding

Indeed it's strange with your animation, did you check the option 'use root motion'?

Yes, been using that from the start.

And theres no vMoveSetSpeeds running to my knowledge

And just now i noticed that it also happens with the prefab controller that comes

with the package, and starts happening the moment you turn Root Motion on.

Using the normal animations, of course.

Weird.

We're having this issue too, what we know:
- Only happens with Root Motion enabled in the vThirdPersonController.
- It happens regardless of whether they are default or customized animations.
- Without activating the Root Motion option, the animation works correctly, the character seems to brake before stopping completely without any type of sliding.
- It happens in any character.

A quickfix right now is to comment the following lines in the vThirdPersonMotor > ControlSpeed Method

only the if and else, the content of the if must be uncommented.

//if (input.magnitude > 0.1f)
{
  this.velocity = velocity;
  var deltaPosition = new Vector3(animator.deltaPosition.x, transform.position.y, animator.deltaPosition.z);
  Vector3 v = (deltaPosition * (velocity > 0 ? velocity : 1f)) / Time.deltaTime;
  v.y = _rigidbody.velocity.y;
  _rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.Lerp(_rigidbody.velocity, v, 20f * Time.deltaTime);
}
//else
//{
//    transform.rotation = animator.rootRotation;
//    transform.position = animator.rootPosition;
//}

That did it, working again as it did before. Thanks!

Nice! I'll test soon too.

[ejlnmusic]

yep that works for me too..thanks

I am encountering the same issue with the most recent version, where the character slides when you stop providing input. Have not enabled "Use Root Motion", but the scripts have changed enough between versions that I am not able to find where I would make the change.
