How do I make realistic walking?

[SetOnRoblox (SettingTheTheme)]

I’m wondering how to achieve a walking animation that changes when you walk in a direction with shift lock. Like sidestepping or walking backwards. Here’s an example:

I know there is a post just about this but I want to achieve this effect with Humanoid.MoveDirection. I don’t plan on using inverse kinematics since it’s not needed for my project.
I want to know how to see directions like left, right, diagonal upright and etc. Please do not explain how Humanoid.MoveDirection works, I know how to use it just having trouble with it.

ant to know how to see directions like left, right, diagonal upright and etc

Use CFrames to make the movement direction relative to how the character is facing like this.

How to check if a players moving forwards without keys?

I believe you are looking for whether the player is moving forward relative to how their character is facing so you can decide if they are strafing left, right or moving forwards or backwards. You can do this by doing some CFrame magic to make the movement vector-like @incapaz suggested relative to where the HumanoidRootPart is facing local movementVector = humanoidRootPart.Velocity*normalize*tiltFactor movementVector = (humanoidRootPart.CFrame-humanoidRootPart.CFrame.p):Inverse()*movementVe…

But how would I know what direction they’re moving in? It only knows where they’re moving.

Good question, this is a bit more advanced though you can notice some patterns like when walking forward Z is equal to -1 when it is in object space, backwards is equal to Z =1, right is X = 1.

You could even convert it into an angle by using:

local x, y, z CFrame.lookAt(Vector3.new(0,0,0), movementDirectionRelativeToHumanoidRootPart):ToOrientation()

–>Create a cframe looking towards the movement direction
→ Convert it into orientation for angle terms

You can do something like @i_eetANts which also uses the idea of getting a movement vector relative to the humanoid root part and then rounding it to the closest movement direction with an animation assigned like walk forwards, walk right and convert it into a hash/string identifier.

@i_eetANts

	local localDirection = BASE.CFrame:vectorToObjectSpace(humanoid.MoveDirection*Vector3.new(1,0,1))
	
	localDirection = Vector3.new(floor(localDirection.X*10 + 0.5),floor(localDirection.Y*10 + 0.5),floor(localDirection.Z*10 + 0.5));
	local hash = tostring(localDirection.X).." "..tostring(localDirection.Z);

The result looks pretty good similar to Inverse kinematics which is interesting.

Blending Walking and Sprinting Animations

I’m trying to smoothly transition between a set of walking and sprinting animations using :AdjustWeight, but I get a slight stuttering effect when I do so. I blend the animations by initially playing them with a close to zero weight and adjusting their weight based on the direction of the character’s movement. I think my issue might occur because the walking and sprinting animations have a different length but I can’t think of a way to compensate for this. I tried adjusting the TimePosition of t…

Could you make an example script of this? How would I incorporate it.

Sorry for the bump, but you should really focus on following the actual forum that you took from in the first place: How do i make Realistic Walking/Running?

No reason to recreate the same thing again as the answer is in there. You can also use the examples @dthecoolest gave you.
