How do you turn the walking direction of the model?
Currently, I have the soldier walking forward and I want him to be able to turn a corner and stop. How can I... 1.) turn the direction in which the soldier walks and... 2.) make him stop in place when the time is right?

Hey, nebben,

What you can do is grab the roottransform of the model and animate it accordingly in the graph editor. So for the turn, just rotate the roottransform of the model when you need to.
As for stopping the model's movements, you can canel the movements in the motion editor by using the playhead preset slider.

Awesome, thank you! Worked like a charm. I'm very new to SFM in general, so I appreciate your help.

What? How does the canel the movements work? It jus stops the entire animation in the whole scene

I have tried Moving the root transform to turn, but when i do, he goes in the direction, but his turn looks awfully stupid. he sidewalks and then Snaps into the right place, Is there a fix? Also, what is a preset scrubber

You were supposed to highlight when you wanted it to stop so at the first frame that highlighted (not the start of the thing that will cancel the movement entirely) then you click playhead and then it stops when you want it to

do it in the motion editor NOT the graph editor, _sfm should have listed how to do that stuff correctly instead of having people figure it out for themselves
