Help with Rolling Mechanic

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to allow the player to roll backwards like in demon slayer games where they can roll backwards.

  2. What is the issue?
    The keys needed to roll backwards are the S key and the E key. Whenever you press the S key it makes the player rotate so the backflip doesn’t work.

The Problem:

What I Want to Happen:
ezgif-2-a358ac72cd04

The problem fixes when shift lock is turned on but i don’t want the player to always have shift lock on.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I have tried to turn off humanoid.AutoRotate but it doesn’t seem to help. I tried looking for a solution but I couldn’t find any.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

You have maybe disabled the autorotate after the animation plays.

#3

I suggest you to change a bit this system, it could be better if when you press either W,A,S,D while the E key is being held and then you dash depending on the key. This dash system i’m suggesting you is like the one in Dragon Ball Final Stand.

#4

So the Ekey has to be held first? Then the W, A, S, or D keys?

#5

Yes, it’s just a suggestion that feels more comfortable (this suggestion it’s not added to the code i sent you)
