Custom Movement For Animals

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I want to make a movement system like the one in Wild Savannah. I don’t have much experience in making custom movement system, so to be honest i have no idea on where to start.

I’ve Tried disabling the A and D keys for movement and then using AngularVelocity to turn the character, but that did not work nicely. Also I tried messing with AlignOrientation to keep the orientation of the animal and not so that it “Points to the way i am moving” for example if I am looking north and i press D, I Keep looking north but the character goes east.

I would greatly appreciate if someone would have a clue so i could have an idea.
