Custom character model doesn't move properly/shimmies

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I have made a custom model for my game and I have managed to make it so the players character gets set to that model, it is rigged with bones in blender and has animations (though I am yet to implement them properly)

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The issue is that the model, instead of moving properly, it only rotates forward when pushing W and doesn’t move forward. The only way to move is to push left and right to “shimmy” forward.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Creator Hub?
    I have looked for solutions on the hub but have found nothing similar to this case. Decided to ask in case anyone knew.

Maybe, check the explorer or devconsole (F9). We cannot debug errors if you don’t provide how you made it, nor can we recreate and fix it.

Most likely the humanoid HipHeight is too low, adjust that until the character moves properly.
