I’ve created a simple sprinting and sliding mechanic that can be easily incorporated into your game.
Features:
- Press Shift to Sprint
- Press C to Slide
- Sliding gradually slows down over time
- Sliding halts when the player encounters a wall in front.
How to Use:
- Copy the code below.
- Insert this code into a local script.
- Place the Local Script in Game > StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts.
- Enjoy!
How to Create an Animation:
- First, create a default dummy.
- Next, open the animator and create a basic sliding idle position. (Use only one keyframe for this.)
- In the animator, click the three dots and select “Set Animation Priority”, then set it to “Movement”.
- In the animator, click the three dots and select “Import”.
- Replace the old id in the code with the new id from the import.
I am lazy so I used chatgpt for the comments
