Unity AnimationEvent has no reciever - unity3d

Question

Here are the two Error messages I am receiving.
This seems to only happen when the Run animation is playing. Any help would be appreciated.
I am building this game for android and I am using mouse clicks to move the character. Since mouse clicks translate to touch events this should have no barring on the game as far as I know.
I guess I should also note that the animations play fine while playing the game.
'defaultModelfbx' AnimationEvent 'FootL' has no receiver! Are you missing a component?
'defaultModelfbx' AnimationEvent 'FootR' has no receiver! Are you missing a component?
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
float speed = 10;
float rotSpeed = 5;
Vector3 targetPosition;
Vector3 lookAtTarget;
Quaternion playerRot;
bool moving = false;
Animator thisAnim;
void Update()
{
thisAnim = GetComponent<Animator>();
// Get movement of the finger since last frame
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
SetTargetPosition();
}
if (moving)
{
Move();
}
}
void SetTargetPosition()
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 1000))
{
targetPosition = hit.point;
lookAtTarget = new Vector3(targetPosition.x - `transform.position.x, 0, targetPosition.z - transform.position.z);`
playerRot = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookAtTarget);
moving = true;
}
}
void Move()
{
thisAnim.SetFloat("speed", 1);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, playerRot, rotSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPosition, speed * Time.deltaTime);
if (transform.position == targetPosition)
{
moving = false;
thisAnim.SetFloat("speed", 0);
}
}
}

I had the same error, but with a different cause and solution.
All my code was in a (grand)parent gameobject (e.g. WerewolfPlayer) and I wanted to keep it this way. The animator was in a (grand)child gameobject (e.g. WEREWOLF_PBR) and it couldn't find the animation events:
To fix this, I bubbled-up the event from the child gameobject to the parent:
I edited the PlayerController.cs in the parent gameobject (e.g. WerewolfPlayer) to find the new "hand off animation events" script and fire the animation events when they happen:
using UnityEngine;
using System;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
private HandOffAnimationEvent handOffAnimationEvent;
// called when animation event fires
public void Pickup()
{
Debug.Log("player picks up object here...");
}
void OnEnable()
{
handOffAnimationEvent = GetComponentInChildren<HandOffAnimationEvent>();
handOffAnimationEvent.OnPickup += Pickup;
}
void OnDisable()
{
handOffAnimationEvent.OnPickup -= Pickup;
}
}
The new HandOffAnimationEvents.cs was added to the child gameobject (e.g. WEREWOLF_PBR) and when the animation event fires, it fires its own event:
using UnityEngine;
using System;
public class HandOffAnimationEvent : MonoBehaviour
{
public event Action OnPickup;
// This is the animation event, defined/called by animation
public void Pickup()
{
OnPickup?.Invoke();
}
}

Okay thanks to Nathalia Soragge I have found the solution to the problem.
If you look closely at the animation window you can see two white dashes at the top of the time line. I have clicked on one of them in the picture, and sure enough it is one of the events that were throwing the error message.
I am assuming I can just delete these two events since I do not have them anywhere in code. In this case it is looking for the events in my PlayerController since it is attached to my Model defaultModelfbx
UPDATE: I have deleted both events and now everything is running smoothly. Thanks again Nathalia!!!!!!! ;)

If you don't want to listen to any events, you can set Animator.fireEvents to false.
public Animator animator;
void Start()
{
animator.fireEvents = false;
}

I had the same problem.I solved this by deleting all animation events and recreating all of them again.
