Character an inch above the ground when play/simulate

[anonymous_user_2a254ae9]

I can’t figure out the reason why my character jumps what seems to be exactly one inch above ground when I hit play/simulate.

None of the search results helped. I have the capsule aligned correctly. When I drop the character in the default level, it aligns with the ground correctly. Tried to create completely new character, without any bp code and I get the same result.

I also added the 3rd person character and when I hit play, it actually seems to jump a bit up for a frame and then back to ground.

When I move the mesh of the character lower (about that inch) than the bottom of the capsule then when when I drop it into level it will be slightly below the ground, but when I hit play, it will jump up that inch and look correctly. But this solution feels wrong.

Any ideas?

So, even the default mannequin will move up by an inch if I bypass the control rig that’s doing leg IK. What’s going on? What am I missing?

Sounds like another IK bone problem

I had similar problem after animation retargeting, check if the root bone of your character is “about an inch” below characters legs

P.S.
My problem is solved here, and I have figured out some more problems, and explained how to fix em, maybe this will be helpful to you too

Are offsets supported within the IK Retarget?

Hi guys, I’m wondering if I have found a bug, or am i just stupid to get retargeting working. I’m trying to retarget an animation from a UE4 mannequin to the new, cool UE5 mannequin. The problem is that the UE4 mannequin have its foot_l/foot_r bones (and so ik_foot_l/ik_foot_r bones) slightly higher than the UE5 mannequin. So we are getting picture like this: [image] When we are setting IK & FK adjustments like so: [image] This difference in the bone positions is causing the feet to be …

Hi, I don’t think that’s it. I’m not trying retargeting. This is happening with the simplest of setup I can imagine. New BP, Character, use a skeletal mesh, move it down so legs are aligned with bottom of the capsule. Not even animation BP used.

And with UE5 mannequin it starts to happen as soon as I disable the control rig that seems to be snapping the character to correct position.

hey,i have the same issue. when i deleted the control rig or changed it to my own control rig, the same thing happend. even it’s the default mannequin.
have you found the solution?
