1) DONT use the walk anim

2) clean up the leaks

3) dont necessairily slide by Move Speed --- that it unrealistic

1) thats ok

2) yea i forgot to write that, but i dont clean up leaks if the game doesnt take longer then 5 hours anway, u rly wont c the difference if its less then a 5 hour game

3) ofcourse u must do it by movespeed. in real life, a guy that runs on ice slides farther then some1 that walks on ice
