Actual error is NullReferenceException: Object not set to an instance of an object

There's a lot more information needed.

Are you using sdx?

Is the model in a .unity3d file in the Mods/SDX/Resources folder?

Is the model in the right format for 7days?

Have you followed the SDX tutorials for adding a new entity?

The AvatarController probably wont work with a downloaded model.

What is the log file error message because the in game one is useless for actually finding the error.

Also, this is not the best forum section for asking these sort of questions. Better to place it in the sdx section

i am using the sdx moded csharp but not actually using sdx to build the mods i am adding them manually

yes the model is a .unity3d

i am not sure what the right format for 7dtd is

if I remove the avatar will it break the model?

this is the error in the output

yes I followed the SDX tut on adding the goblin

I'm no expert on it, but all the stuff I'm using includes the AnimationSDX mod which allows you to animate imported models.

It has this:

<property name="AvatarController" value="AnimationSDX, Mods" />

The ', Mods' is important as it tells the game to load the class from the mods.dll

https://7d2dsdx.github.io/Tutorials/ has a great set of tutorials to help you, especially the 'How to set up the animated custom entity' under the howtos

 

[tivial01]

Thx Ill check it out

 

[Guppycur]

Yeh you def want that animationSDX mod.

 

[tivial01]

I got the animationSDX but it's still not working

Update: Checking if any animations are playing

(Filename: C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebugBindings.gen.cpp Line: 37)

is NOT Valid
