I'm trying to make an object walk (randomguy). Can someone share a code byte that i can use as an example to go by? I've tried several combinations but unable to get a realistic look...thx.

You actually are trying to do one of the hardest animation tasks there is. :o Like lip sync (which is at least as hard) the human brain has a very fixed idea of what a "natural" walk looks like and is fairly unforgiving of what it sees.

I suggest you do a search of the forum on "walk." There are several techniques described here - from a simple, three-pose approach to an arrow-controlled walk using the methods associated with the hebuilder/shebuilder objects. And please post what you find works best for you. :)
