Issue ID

UUM-54179

Regression

No

Gravity stops working when there are 2 or more Animation Layers in the Animator and the "Apply Root Motion" option is enabled

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “IN-55995 Gravity Weight Bug with Multiple Anim Layers.zip“ project
2. Open the “SampleScene”
3. Enter Play mode

Expected result: The “Square” GameObject falls downwards quickly
Actual result: The “Square” GameObject is not moving

Reproducible with: 2021.3.31f1, 2022.3.11f1, 2023.1.17f1, 2023.2.0b14, 2023.3.0a10

Reproduced on: Windows 11 Pro (22H2)
Not reproduced on: No other environment tested

Notes:
- Reproducible in the Player
- Reproducible in a new project
- Reproducible with both “Rigidbody” and “Rigidbody 2D” components (one of these is required to be present on the GameObject for gravity to work)
- The issue is most likely caused by the Animator.gravityWeight variable being set to 0 in the Unity Editor’s source code when more than 1 Animation Layer is present in the Animator (look for the link to the discussion with developers in the internal comments for more information)

  1. Resolution Note:

    We have confirmed the issue. This issue only happens under the flowing conditions:
    * The override layer contains only constant curves on the root bone
    AND
    * the constant curves have exactly the same value as all the other constant curves in the AnimatorController

    Workaround: Add any non constant curve on the root position or rotation anywhere in the AnimatorController. This will force the evaluation to go through the proper root motion path and output the expected result.

    Unfortunately, after careful consideration, we will not be addressing your issue because of the high risk associated with changing this behaviour and the workaround mentioned above.
