Smooth player animations & movement (r6)

Hey there,
I’ve been doing a bit of research and I am at a loss with the available resources I’ve found.
I was wondering how you would be able to create smooth player movement, such as having momentum build up slowly when a player is walking and increase even further when sprinting as well as how the animation would speed up / change along with it.

I’m also curious about if I can put custom footstep sfx somewhere within this or if I would work on that else where. I would just like either a bit of guidance in the right direction or a piece of example code to showcase what I am meant to do or can build off as I’ve never worked with this stuff before.

Cheers

How about changing the WalkSpeed in a loop slowly higher?

#3

Yeah that would probably work but I don’t know where to put it as well as how to make the animation speed up with the player WalkSpeed and then change to sprinting after it reaches another speed.

#4

If you want to achieve smoothness (regarding animations) you can simply just mess around with animation weight/speed to achieve smoothness.

#5

I’ve never been aware of these because animation is the one part of studio I’ve never really touched so it sounds like a good step in the right direction!
How would I go about changing those? Would this cover movement animations currently being played?

#6

So if you dont have a custom animation, then you can simply just change the WalkSpeed in the properties of a players humanoid. Roblox will adjust their WalkAnimation to the WalkSpeed set

#7

Yeah, I do have a custom animation though.

#8

Ig you can work with the PlaySpeed (or PlaybackSpeed idk atm) and just adjust them correctly to the WalkSpeed.

#9

if you want a custom animation to speed up relative to your walkspeed just divide your current walkspeed by the default walkspeed you have set for your game.

#10

Momentum? You could make a vector that lerps to the Humanoid’s MoveDirection and then make the Humanoid move towards the vector using Humanoid:Move(). Atleast that’s how I do it.

#11

Ah yeah this is what I was seeing a lot, I might give that a try when I can and see if I can figure it out.
Got any examples or guidance to give me before I try make it?

#12

Yeah that sounds good I will give that a try as well, any extra info I might want to know?

#13

Not really, just use a RenderStepped and a predefined Vector3 called Vector or whatever you wish to call it, then lerp the value. I’d also make the deltaTime apply for people that use an fps unlocker by doing:

--[[
deltatime is the value u get from renderstepped,
we're restricting it to specifically 1 and below, because applying 2 or above
to the alpha does some weird jittering and such.

you'd do all this code in RenderStepped.
]]
DeltaTime = math.min(DeltaTime * 60, 1)
Vector = Vector:lerp(Humanoid.MoveDirection, 0.1 * DeltaTime)
Humanoid:Move(Vector)
#14

Have you looked into the usage of Animation PlaybackSpeed? You could try this.

#15

I figured it out!
I used the Renderstepped code to create the gradual movement and then went into the Roblox Animate script and simply adjusted the animation speed from there.
Thank you everyone who replied!
