So, this animation is offsetting about 10 studs upon playing it in-game. Anyone know why?
Imagine this from 1st-person. That is what it should look like.
But looks like this:
Script Used
If nobody tries to solve this by the end of tomorrow, I’ll release the game without the ending cutscene and then wait for help later, as I’m trying to get the game done before school starts.

So, I don’t know if that solved the anchoring problem. It might have, however, I’m still having the problem with the character being too far forwards, which is strange, considering that I specifically created the animation to fit with the map.
I’m not all that familiar with scripting animations, so I can’t really say for sure. If it were me, I would’ve just scripted the player or character to move to that location so that it would use its walking animation, then play the animation for looking around. Though for more precise animation, you’ll probably want to animate the position as well (which I’m not familiar with).
No, it’s supposed to be in first person. The should look like video is showing what the animation does, and so you kind of have to imagine the should look like video from 1st person. What’s happening is that the character in the looks like video is moving way too far forwards.
Ohh okay. Why don’t you try to change how far the player moves in the animation. If that does not work, I’d change where the player starts moving at, to make it how you want it to look. Because it seems to me that the player is already starting a bit more forward than it should.
I’m not sure why the player would start that far forwards, though. What you see in the first video is exactly what’s supposed to happen in the second, the starting position doesn’t change, and while I get that I could reduce the movement amount, I’d rather find why this is happening than find a roundabout solution to it.
Yea @3rdhoan123 does have a pretty good point. The camera offsetting could be messed up. I would try setting the camera’s subject to the head in a script when the character loads in. Or try locking first person via properties in StarterPlayer
When you play the game (and attach the camera to the camera part)
Try checking and seeing if the camera part still stays in the same location, if it seems to offset, you might accidently be messing around with the offset of your camerapos. You can try testing this by creating a part to symbolize the cframe of the players camera (where its supposed to be).
Check your animation and ensure you aren’t accidently moving that part forward either.
If it still doesn’t work, and you have no plans to actually really animate the “Camerapos”
You can instead attach the camera to the head (the head should still stay attached to the character?) and if it gets in the way, just set transparency to 1 temporarily.
Another thing to take into account, re-check your script, it seems you might be doing things unintended for the camera. Ensure your camera is set to scriptable so that no default part of the camera scripts run.
None of this seemed to help at all, changing the camera subject for some reason made the animation not play and the mouse was stuck in the center of the screen, the camera position isn’t being offset at all, it is set to scriptable, and I’m not moving the camera forwards in the animation.
Have you tried checking the Server while you are playtesting? This is so that you can see your character in 3rd person. By doing this we would know if it is either a camera problem (if player is standing on where it should be) or a position problem (if player is standing at the door).
