Thanks those are good ideas - for now I’ll just have the projectiles coming out of his face, later (after I figure out how to make him shoot projectiles) ill add in the weapons
one issue I noticed was that he never gets into the walk cycle because max acceleration is set to 2048 and max speed is set to 600 - so as soon as the controller is used if fills the value immediately thus skipping the walk cycle in my blend space from playing (at least thats what i think is going on), when I tried to lower just that setting it took him way to long to run - so there was no give between a tiny bit of movement to fully pressed
any ideas on how to fix? its like the speed variable goes from 0 to 600 instantly when given input (not using blend space well)
