Confusion of Directional Movement

[Feneruther]

Hello Robloxians I am in need of help urgently.
Am trying to make four directional similar to OsterDog’s

What are you working on currently? (2021)

Making an ease-of-access third-person character controller for use in any future projects. [0c65vKJIqo] There’s a lot behind the scenes that I need to unpack, but the gist is that most parts of the tool controllers are separated in a way that allows for more control without causing spaghetti code or an intense amount of coding.

Get the humanoid movedirection, turn that into an angle then in the directions rotate accordingly

So, you’re talking about footplanting?

You shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Use Humanoid.MoveDirection and :ToObjectSpace() function on the CFrame of the HumanoidRootPart, after that it will return a Vector3 giving you the necessary angles. X for Sideways and Z for forwards.

Most people want there animations to work over footplanting, Since the legs in R6 IKPF don’t work as well while playing animations.

If they have an animation, they can just disable footplanting and anchor the HumanoidRootPart.

Unless the game involves kicking something, of course.
