## Cinemachine and Camera Errors

If by any chance,when importing the asset to Unity 6, you are getting these errors from the ThirdPersonFollowTarget script.

Please make sure you remove **Cinemachine2** from the Package manager, install **Cinemachine3**, and upgrade the prefabs here:

## The animal is not moving

You are making a custom animal, but when you try to move it, it does the animations, but won't move forward. Most of the time, the animations you are using are not RootMotion.&#x20;

Check this [**Tutorial**](../how-to-ac/movement-no-rm-anims)**.**

## The animal is falling near the ground

If the animal starts to **fall** for no reason, it should be because the **Ground Layer** in the animal controller is set to Nothing, or the layer of the Game Objects considered ground is set to a different layer.

The Default value for the Ground Layer is _Default_. You must add your other ground Layers to the Animal **Ground Layer Mask**.​&#x20;

## States are not getting active or are \[Pending] (Missing Tag)

When the state does not get active, or the state goes to the **Pending** state, usually the reason is that The **Animation tag** is not properly set.

Make sure the Animation Tag matches your State :

{% hint style="warning" %}
The tags are **case-sensitive**. E.g. make sure you set **Locomotion**, instead of **locomotion**

## The Character slides on Slopes

If the character slides when it's on slopes, make sure the Main Collider is not touching the ground. The Animal Controller works with a floating Main Collider. Make sure the collider is set from the Hip to the Head

The Interaction with the ground is calculated using rays

## The character jitters when it moves

If the character jitters, ensure the Brain Camera is set to Fixed Update and the Animator Controller is set to Animate Physics.
