Movement in animation causing bodygyro to act unintended

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am making a ROBLOX basketball game where you are able to do the “Dropstep” basketball move. I am currently having issues with ONLY the left side of the animation and not the right side, as you can see in the clip below. When the basketball is in my right hand and I do a dropstep, it works as intended, but when the basketball in my left hand the bodygyro makes the animation flip and looks weird.

Here is the code

-- // Init
					-- Startup
					local Pumpfake = AnimationOperator:GetAnimation(Player,PlayerHandedness.."Pumpfake"..Player_Settings.Jumpshot.Value)
					AnimationOperator:ForceStop(Player,.25,PlayerHandedness.."Idle")
					Player_Values.Faked.Faking.Value = true
					Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
					TaskService:Gyro(Player,"Get","Pumpfake",Goal,false)
					Weld(Character, PlayerHandedness)

					-- Previously moving check
					if Player_Values.Faked.PrevMoving.Value then
						Player_Values.Faked.Value = true
						Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
						if CurrentBall then
							if PreviouslyPost and Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
								if TaskService:GetDirection(Root,Humanoid,Goal) == "F" then
									-- Plays animation
									Dropstep:Play(.25)
									Dropstep:AdjustSpeed(ShotOperator.DropstepSpeed)

									coroutine.wrap(function()
										-- Set velocity
										TaskService:Velocity(Player,"Set","Dropstep",Goal,{Dir = "F", VelocityMult = ShotOperator.DropstepVelocity})
										repeat task.wait() until not Dropstep.IsPlaying
										-- Remove gyro
										TaskService:Gyro(Player,"Remove","Dropstep")
										-- Reset values and play animation
										Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
										Player_Values.Faked.Faking.Value = false
										Player_Values.Faked.Value = true
										TripleThreat:Play(.25)
									end)()
								end
							else
								AnimationOperator:ForceStop(Player,.25,PlayerHandedness.."TripleThreat")
								Pumpfake:Play(.25)
								Pumpfake:AdjustSpeed(ShotOperator.PumpfakeSpeed)
								repeat task.wait() until not Pumpfake.IsPlaying
								Player_Values.Faked.Faking.Value = false
								Player_Values.Faked.Value = true
								TripleThreat:Play(.25)
							end
						end

Did you try turning off Humanoid.AutoRotate?

I’ll try out setting the roots CFrame and turning auto rotate off, see if that works.

Partially worked, issue is still occuring just less frequently, not sure why.

The Roblox character controller and Humanoids don’t want to behave a lot of the time, typically while using some sort of constraint on them (they tend to fling themselves a lot when you weld stuff to them) So I would recommend just entirely making your own rotation. Besides editing some core scripts, I believe that’s the only thing you can do to fix this. Unless anyone else here knows how to tame the beast that is the Roblox character controller.
