is there anyway to lock a bones rotation axis or movement axis, and also limiting how far a bone can move relative to its parent?

This would be incredibly useful. Looking forward to it!

Its also almost impossible to do unfortunately. If you move a bone, the collision of the mesh remains the same, which makes it impossible to detect collisions easily

You did not add the ā€œSmartBoneā€ tag to the cape mesh.

To do it, first select the cape, which is in your case called ā€œCubeā€

After that, open the Tag Editor in the View tab.

When you have this open with the capeā€™s mesh selected, click ā€œNew tagā€ and type out ā€œSmartBoneā€
You will then be able to check the box, enabling SmartBone.

After that, it will work as intended.

Nice. Added a little bit of magic to the source code in order to handle directional velocity, allowing me to walk backwards without it going inside of my character. Fake collision!

Please, still looking forward for your help to help me make something like this! Iā€™m really in need

We seriously need an update to this, Iā€™m not a math person to be able to change this module to my needs, but we depend on you and donā€™t abandon us.
