IKControl Footplant and Strafing for Rig 15

Edit note: Please remember that this is basically a template. The concept is good but you will need to add constraints to make it bed like a normal leg would, don’ t complain in the comments on how it bends unnaturally.
Hey everyone!

I’ m Emper and recently I turned 13 so I wanted to do something for my birthday, and as you hopefully read the title you already know what it is!

This was meant to be private since I didn’ t think it was that good but now here we are with me publishing it.

Before showcasing I’ m gonna tell you more about the script itself:

The script contains Footplanting using IKControl and Strafing Animations, there are functions in the script for you to use and edit, there’ s also a “Debug” variable which adds an Highlight to the target parts used for Raycast. The script also stops itself if it doesn’ t find an Instance it needs.

Now we move on to the showcase part!

The Footplant.

As I mentioned 2 times it has Footplant but what I didn’ t mention is that it has rotation and works for all rig sizes.

Small:

Normal:

Tall:

As you can see it’ s for normal AND custom rigs.

The Strafing:

The Strafing animations use LookVector and RightVector multiplied by the AssemblyLinearVelocity.
The Forward and Sideways are in variables so you can use them whenever u want or clamp them!

Showcase of Strafing and Footplant together:

The script has been optimized so that your fps don’ t have 10 subsequent strokes and die, and also cannot error unless there’ s a syntax error.

Please remember that this was made by one 13 year old kid and this was my first resource post so don’ t be harsh on me and I would really appreciate credit!
If there’ s something that can be improved ( Most definetely is ) please comment! And also remember to give me feedback on how to improve my mini-speechs and code thank you

And now for the part everyone was waiting for:
The script!

  1. What is it supposed to be?
  • A LocalScript!
  1. Where do i put it?
  • StarterCharacterScripts!
  1. It doesn’ t work what do i do?
  • Make sure the rig is R15!
  • Make sure all parts are loaded ( Add a task.wait at the start if they aren’ t ! )

I don’ t expect this to get much attention but I’ ll keep hoping :crying_cat_face:

can you add R6 Support please!

I can definetely work on that!

nice project for your birthday!
only thing: what happened to the walking animation???

hey congrats on your birthday! and now I just want this in r6.

The animate script was disabled because the IKControl actually messes legs animations a bit and since this was supposed to be edited by people I didn’ t give much attention to it!

I’ am already on it! Fortunately it won’ t be too hard!

yea cuz its r6 but still its quite a challenge for me i suppose as I have never done anything with IK

Is this fixable at all to know knowledge?

Yes you can enable it in the script directly. However you will have to edit the IKControl.Weight in the function because IKControl overrides animations.

Excellent work and fun to experiment with.

Edit: Just realized this was posted on my birthday as well!

Does this work with walking animations?

1 Like

Yes, but you would have to edit the .Weight in the IKControl function to 0.5 or lower if you want them to show
