How do I make a player lean on their side?

Hey
I’m new to scripting and I’m trying to make a leaning emote in a personal project i’m working on
Does anyone know how to make a transition from a stand to a lean on the side like this?

I’ve tried tutorials on YouTube but I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for.

In detail, I’d like it so if you press a specific key on the keyboard, the upper part of the character leans to the right, just like the image above. The player camera should also rotate as much as the character does. I’m not sure how to work this 'cus I’m completely new to scripting and stuff, so help is appreciated

Try creating a leaning left/right animation using the Roblox animation editor (make the animation looped.) Once the player hits a key (UserInputService), play that animation using Humanoid:LoadAnimation()

Problem when using an animation is, when you walked, it stopped the animation, so you can do the animation like this

Yup, I’m pretty sure this script covers that, now i’lI just need to figure out how to rotate the Users Camera as well local

UI = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("Animation"))
local Run = false

UI.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Left then
		if not Run then
			Run = true
			Animation:Play()
			Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 9
		else
			Animation:Stop()
			Run = false
			Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 9
		end
	end
end)

Try setting the camera subject to the head during the animation. (Inside the same script)

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

-- when you play the animation do this:
camera.CameraSubject = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")

-- when you stop the animation do this:
camera.CameraSubject = Humanoid

With this, no complicated CFrame math is required.

We simply set the subject of the main camera to the head so that it follows the head position instead of the HumanoidRootPart position. Then we reset it after the animation ends.

Also, I recommend you turn “UI” into “local UI”. Localizing variables and services improves game performance.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Yeah I forgot to mention that but Animation Priority is important too.
