# Broken Character Pose

If a character pose is broken in the play mode, there can several potential issues.

## Reason 1 - Rig type mismatch

The most common problem is the animation type mismatch - when a Humanoid animation is used with a Generic character or vice versa.

The problem might be with:

1. Animations in the animator
2. AnimSequence and custom animations

### How to fix?

Check if the animations in the animator have the correct animation type. You can easily do this by using the Validator Tool <mark style="background-color:blue;">**Windows/FPS Animation Framework/FPS Animation Validator/**</mark>:

Validator will let you know if there're any issues, and will provide a possible solution. You also can use this tool to check weapons or animations.

If your Animator animations are fine, make sure to check the **OverlayPose**:

**Tip:** custom made animations from the demo are Generic and won't work with Humanoid characters!
