How to know which direction Humanoid MoveDirection is going?

[astraIboy (The Batman)]

So I am trying to detect when a player is either moving backwards, forwards, left, right, diagonally forward to the right, diagonally forward to the left, diagonally backwards to the left, and diagonally backwards to the right

The problem is that I dont know which combinations of numbers for MoveDirection can be equivalent to the direction I stated above

edit: I forgot the word but basically what Im looking to create is locomotion

Can't detect that humanoid is moving left when also going backwards/forwards

I am working on animating my first-person viewmodel. I decided to add some strafing animations, which means your hands will move to the side if you’re moving sideways(holding A or D on your keyboard). I decided not to capture keys from the player and instead look at the humanoid.MoveDirection vector for easier multi-platform support later on. The code fires whenever the humanoid has moved and determines the correct angle for the C0 of a Motor6D which rotates the arms in a viewmodel. It works a…

Lmk if you need any more help

How do I detect if a player is moving forwards or backwards

Currently I have this small code that I have made print(hrp.CFrame.LookVector) print(h.MoveDirection) local push = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") push.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1,1,1) * 1000000000 local hx = hrp.CFrame.LookVector.X local movex = h.MoveDirection.X if movex == 0 then push.Velocity = hrp.CFrame.LookVector * 35 elseif hx > 0 and movex < 0 or hx < 0 and movex > 0 then push.Velocity = hrp.CFrame.LookVector * -35 else push.Velocity = hrp.CFrame.LookVector * 35 end…

How to check if a players moving forwards without keys?

If the Z axis of the MoveDirection is negative, then the player is moving forward.

How to detect if the player is walking forwards or backwards?

You can use cframe direction rotation to get what your looking for local char: Model = script.Parent local Hum: Humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") local HumRP = char.PrimaryPart Hum.Running:Connect(function() local directive = HumRP.CFrame:VectorToObjectSpace(Hum.MoveDirection) if directive.Z < 0 then print("Going forward") elseif directive.Z > 0 then print("Going Backward") end end) Edit: this script was placed in startercharacterscripts

Alright I get how he made the solution but Im confused about where he is getting the velocity?

[Carl_Weezer13 (Carl_Weezer)]

I am pretty sure that is also included in the topic, under post 4 or 6.

Oh alright gotcha he was using the velocity of the humanoid, I just need to replace that with my humanoid movedirection relative to my root’s cframe in object space

I’ll test it and get back to you

What I have so far

omg DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH IT WORKED, also thank you to that guy from that post

Anyone else wondering how to do it with movedirection here is my code

local movedir = root.CFrame:VectorToObjectSpace(humanoid.MoveDirection)
local yDirection = math.atan2(movedir.X,movedir.Z)
local roundedDirection = math.ceil(math.deg(yDirection) - 0.5)
print(roundedDirection)
