GetRef error on Play Animation action

[onydeusParticipant]

Hello, I have a GameObject as a FSM Owner with an Animation component. On Both Play Animation Simple and Play Animation Advanced I get a “NullReferenceException: GetRef” error and I have no clue on how to fix it or what causes it. My animation is attached to the Animation component like the Sample Scenes “Character Point & Click Control”. I fully appreciate any assistance, and thank you in advance.

Hello,

Can you please confirm that the animation clip you want to play is a legacy animation clip?
If you are unsure, please open up PlayAnimation.cs and add this line of code in the OnInit method:
animationClip.value.legacy = true; so that the OnInit looks like this in the end:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

protected override string OnInit(){ agent.AddClip(animationClip.value, animationClip.value.name); animationClip.value.legacy = true; return null; }

By the way, the animationclip is added automaticaly for you if it’s not in the animation clips list of the Animation component, so that you don’t have to add it manualy.

Let me know.
Thanks

I don’t know what kind of animation it is because I am making them in Unity itself. The only way I understand to check or change animation type is through the import settings if it was made in an external program like Blender. I assume they are Generic. Adding that line of code allows the animation to work. In fact, after commenting out that line the animation will continue to work until I close and reopen unity. I assume this line is doing some sort of type override for any animation that runs it, that remains after leaving play mode. I consider this to work for my error. Thank you for your quick response!

Thanks for letting me know.
I am glad it works for you now. Like I originally stated, this action is made to work with the legacy Animation component of unity and not with Animator one. Just a thing to remember 🙂

Thanks!
