Nice job. I'll try it out later.

Hey this is a really fantastic script, I think it adds a lot to the immersion in a game. I always hate when I coast around if I just want to turn and look in a certain direction at a certain location.

 

I have one question, maybe even a suggestion if it's not already a part of the script

 

Can I have it so that if I'm already turned in a certain direction, hitting the key won't delay? It will only delay if I'm turning in a direction I'm not facing? So I can quickly turn and then take a single step foreword just by tapping?

[IMUNME 3]

Is there a way to change the delay value through a script call?

Hey SirBilly. I really like this script! I think it adds a lot to my game. Thank you! Do you know if there is any way to make this compatible with a wsad direction input script (i'm using Falcao's Mouse System Buttons 2.5 at the moment). Thanks again!

Sadly this is not compatible with Jump Ability by Galv... 

i know this is old script but maybe someone or even sirbilly can fix this?

What part does not work? Sir billy script needs to be above galv jump.

The only issue I found was that while walking, if you turned it would not stop to turn before continuing.

I made some changes that should work. It did in my testing.
