    I have several objects making up a character, I have 2 questions:

    1) I want to move these objects together so as a character it moves, using keyboard events. How do I prevent these individual objects from breaking apart? Especially when group objects individually keyframed to give this character a running animation while it moves across the screen.

    2) If for 1), the running/moving character has a jump animation as well, how do I swap a group object scene for another with the jump animation, and back to running animation when jump is done?

    Sadly, when I looked at Arcade Racing and Farmer’s Journey’s, there was no puzzles for moving objects in a group making up the character, especially without breaking apart or messing up the character.

    Before assigning puzzle:
    kurumii

    After puzzle:
    kurumii

    Even rotating these objects as a group causes it to break up:
    kurumii

    Skinned meshes are attached to their armatures. You should move/rotate the root bone to move the skinned mesh. Other meshes (non-skinned) also should be parented to that root bone to move together.

    and Farmer’s Journey’s, there was no puzzles for moving objects

    You just don’t see them

    Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

    Lol, where did you get that character from?

    If these objects in a group are individually keyframed instead without armatures, will parenting them to a certain object work just as well?

    I was referring to a group of objects with their own keyframes, not a single object with armature.
