How do they do soccer animations interactions with the ball?

How do they animations that require interactions with other objects? Like dribble in a soccer game. I mean to be realistic, we need to apply a small force to the ball when collides with one of the feet and then again and again, but what about turning animations? Let’s say we turn backwards, then we need an animation with the ball I think. We cannot think the ball is separate from this animation in that case I suppose. Is there a way to combine these things or a strategy? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:
I did something for dribbling the ball according to suggestions of @Programmer in the comments.

I use models and animations from Mixamo.

I check the distance to the ball in an update. If it is close enough to activate the dribble animation and IK.

void Update()

if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, BallTest.instance.transform.position) < 1.5f)

animator.CrossFade("Dribble", 0.5f);
useIK = true;

else

useIK = false;




I attach a collider to the controlling feet and if "useIK" is on then apply a force to the ball.

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)

if (other.gameObject.tag == "Ball")

if (!useIK)

return;


BallTest.instance.rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
BallTest.instance.rigidbody.velocity = ballControlPoint.transform.forward.normalized * 7f;

useIK = false;




Finally, OnAnimatorIK, when the "useIK" is active then set the position of IK to the ball. Create a curve "DribbleKick" in dribble animation to set the IK weight. If "useIK" is false then lerp back to zero.

float t = 0;
float currentTime = 0;
float timeToMove = 0;

void OnAnimatorIK()

if (useIK)

t = animator.GetFloat("DribbleKick");

animator.SetIKPositionWeight(AvatarIKGoal.RightFoot, animator.GetFloat("DribbleKick"));
animator.SetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.RightFoot, BallTest.instance.transform.position);

currentTime = 0;
timeToMove += Time.deltaTime;

else if( t != 0)

t = Mathf.Lerp(t, 0, currentTime / timeToMove);

animator.SetIKPositionWeight(AvatarIKGoal.RightFoot, t);
animator.SetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.RightFoot, BallTest.instance.transform.position);

currentTime += Time.deltaTime;

if (currentTime >= timeToMove)

currentTime = 0;
timeToMove = 0;
t = 0;





The result is:

It still not good but I think for now it is OK.
