## Messages

The message opens with the code; `<…>` stands for a value.

- `animator state "<…>" carries rootMotion and its blend reads "<…>", which is bound to source "<…>" — root motion writes that velocity, so the state can never leave its first clip; bind it to "<…>" or drive it from a behaviour`

## Where it points
