I tried using this on a scaled down character and…
Does anyone know how to fix this?

the legs seem to jerk in a specific direction, it might be because I disabled the torso rotations
but its really annoying
edit:
nope its not the torso thing, I re-enabled it and its still there, i do notice it happens specifically on sloped surfaces and ESPECIALLY on terrain

I love this tutorial and it really helped me for my game, but I do have a important question. How would I change the sound of the walking based on the material? I cannot seem the figure this out.

The foot step sound is a connection within the ProceduralAnimator class which returns the raycast result, so material detection should be possible there.
function ProceduralAnimatorClass:ConnectFootStepSound(sound : Sound)
self.FootStep:Connect(function(raycastResult)
local soundPositionAttachment = Instance.new("Attachment")
soundPositionAttachment.WorldPosition = raycastResult.Position
soundPositionAttachment.Parent = workspace.Terrain
local footStepSound = sound:Clone()
local randomPlaybackSpeed = self.RandomNumGenerator:NextNumber(0.7,1)
footStepSound.PlaybackSpeed = randomPlaybackSpeed
local reverbEffect = Instance.new("ReverbSoundEffect")
reverbEffect.Density = 0.8
reverbEffect.DecayTime = 1
reverbEffect.Parent = footStepSound
footStepSound.PlayOnRemove = true
footStepSound.Parent = soundPositionAttachment
soundPositionAttachment:Destroy()
end)
end

I love this and it makes a roblox character look less like a toy but i do have one question how would i prevent this from happening (the original animation looks like this) or just how to simply disable this script while prone.

hey! I was messing around and changed the torso from moving side to side but up and down. How do I make it so the legs don’t move around a lot?

How can we make custom animations

This works great, but the torso is jumping up and down WAY too intensely. How could I smooth or slow this out??
The whole point of inverse kinematics is procedurally generating the animation so you don’t have to do it yourself.

Thanks mate. Btw, how do I make it, so it updates the position in the direction where I’m standing??
Red is the last position it took
and
green makes it go down where the floor is

I would want this to only be the walking animation but when doing an attack, and playing my animation for the attack it doesnt work, do i have to temporarly dissable the ikpf script for it to play my animations?

how did you make it like this?? i wanna replicate this for my game

Help my tiny little brain can’t figure out how to use the script I can get to the part to use iterate once setup foot those things but the values it wants me to put in their just confuse me. I tried going to the tutorial but the link doesn’t work am I just dumb is this easy to setup

Yep, it only takes one line to replace the IK portion of the script in the quote above :CCDIKIterateUntil.
Just be aware of the changes made to the R6 leg to make it 2 limbs instead of 1 for that animation effect.

So if i try to animate them what will happen?
Trying to make kicking animations.
If this will do nothing(Pretty sure it will do nothing)
then how would I do this?

I downloaded this and did the command game:SetUniverseId(1818) so my offline experience would have R6 enabled. Placed it in StarterPlayerScripts because it was a LocalScript with a few modules.
This picture is the server-sided picture. Now as described, it creates 4 motor6d and 2 parts to set up a fake joint and then disables the old motor6ds. I do not know why they decided to do this in the first place.
Some basic behavior of motor6ds is that only the .Transform property is replicated from client to server (for animation purposes). So basically you have an unreplicated client implementation here. Also Roblox’s animation player uses the .Transform property as well.
Additionally, a more practical approach would be to use the .Transform property of the existing joint, and to create a boolean value inside of Humanoid to disable the IK animation temporarily so normal animations can be played. I believe this could be done if you simply record the properties (as in C0, C1, Transform) of the 4 motor6ds you created as variables. That way there are no new joints or parts. To get the resulting .Transform for the existing joint, perform a CFrame calculation.
I believe this would be more practical because instead of performing 20 character calculations on the server or 20 character calculations on each client, each client would perform 1 character’s calculation and replicate normally, and allow for animations.
