8 Way Directional Movement System For R6 (1 Animation)

#1

This resource is about an 8-way directional movement system with only 1 animation for walking. You need to import the RBXM into your game to use it.

Here’s footage of it working:

Note: This requires shift-lock or first person lock

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are 3 stuff you need to move
1 - Move the Normal script (Server script) into ServerScriptService
2 - Move the Local Script (Client script) into StarterCharacterScripts
3 - Move the Remote Event into ReplicatedStorage

V2 Update:

  • now it replicates to all players smoothly

This is pretty cool, I will probably look at it since my 4 directional anim code is messy :skull: maybe there’s something to learn from here

-- Convert data to CFrame
				local AngleCFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAngles(0, self.state.angle + math.rad(180), 0)

				local WishDirCFrame = CFrame.fromEulerAngles(0,MathUtils:PlayerVecToAngle(wishDir) + math.rad(180),0)
				-- Get dot products
				local LookDotProduct = AngleCFrame.LookVector:Dot(WishDirCFrame.LookVector)
				local RightDotProduct = AngleCFrame.RightVector:Dot(WishDirCFrame.LookVector)
				-- Pick Animation
				if LookDotProduct > 0.4 then
					self.characterData:PlayAnimation(Enums.Anims.FrontWalk, Enums.AnimChannel.Channel0, false)
				elseif RightDotProduct > 0.6 then
					self.characterData:PlayAnimation(Enums.Anims.RightWalk, Enums.AnimChannel.Channel0, false)
				elseif RightDotProduct < -0.6 then
					self.characterData:PlayAnimation(Enums.Anims.LeftWalk, Enums.AnimChannel.Channel0, false)
				elseif LookDotProduct < -0.4 then
					self.characterData:PlayAnimation(Enums.Anims.BackWalk, Enums.AnimChannel.Channel0, false)
				end

Same

30-character limit

Okay, so I know I’m insanely late. BUT, is there a way to make it so it doesn’t look weird when your not in shiftlock and for example pressing D, and moving straight the legs will go into a right direction instead of forwards. I will explain further if needed

I use this one, and it works fine for me. You can disable the IK.

#16

this doesn’t use hip rotation tho, as the torso stays still which brings back the unrealistic-ness problem of having leg movement

a video clip perhaps or a screenshot thats clear

Honestly, I think you can add the leaning separately if you want it but fair enough.

#19

Yes, sorry I should have shown this first.

It requires shift lock tho I might have removed that from the description of the post, I’ll add it

#21

Maybe you can somehow get it to work with Humanoid.MoveDirection? If you manage to do that, the issue should be fixed.

I do know a way but tbh I don’t really want to update this resource as I’m not that free
