# 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 **Windows/FPS Animation Framework/FPS Animation Validator/**:

Select your character and click the Validate button

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**:

Make sure that the Overlay Pose type is also the same!

{% hint style="danger" %} **Tip:** custom made animations from the demo are Generic and won't work with Humanoid characters! {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
