How to fix

The error show the cause is ‘Hit’ AnimationEvent in the Attack1.

Before deleting ‘Hit’ event in Attack1 Animation, we copy it.

Selecting Animation(FBX) and press Ctrl + D can make copy file and also can be renamed by F2 key.

Now selecting the Attack1 Animation in the copied file and open the Inspector.

Click the Edit button at the top right in the Inspector.

Opening the Event at the bottom.

You can find event in the timeline.

Right clicking the event and deleting it.

Pressing Apply. If you forget to apply, it may make the same error again.
