I guess you are referencing an animal with a digitigrade posture--where the knee is inverted relative to bipedal motion and the animal walks on its toes. It's been awhile but can't you dictate walking animations? This shouldn't be that hard once someone figures out the proper animation.

Maybe an idea with a bit more substance next time?

Well you might want to consider being more specific with your request next time. Including pictures or sources is highly beneficial to that effect.

That'd just be a sprite change, wouldn't change anything code wise.

Well as for wording i just look it up i hit the head on the nail there...and for pictures fas as i known most house hold pets have digilegs. Cats and Dogs and Chickens so thats why i didn't think a picture was needed.

I recall a mod a long time ago that had mechs with digigrade legs, although it didn't work very well. very springy and hoppy. great for jumping and running fast, but couldn't walk smoothly or even stand still. then again if I recall it's so old we didn't have dreadnoughts or at least lua back then. I can't remember what the mod was.

Doesn't the district 9 mod use these kind of legs..

As I've already said, it's just having another set of knees on the sprites, nothing more.

Listen to this guy, you seem to not grab the concept of how Cortex Command does legs.

For that matter, I'm not entirely sure that most of you grasp how digitigrade critters do joints, but that's beside the point.

More relevant, if you poke around the forum, you'll find a number of actors with digitigrade gaits, both accurate and inaccurate. I think the EAF is probably the best, in terms of actual accuracy. Most obvious, however, are AAL's Slayers, and SET's Mnewers.

Heh, SET Mnewer legs are not digitrade; It's more of a Reverse-joint biped mech, to borrow from Armored Core.

Come to think of it, let's talk about locomotion, shall we?
types of legs (Armored Core):
-Biped (light, med, heavy)
-Reverse joint (light, heavy)
-Quad (light, heavy)
-Tank
-Hover

So, in CC, we see a lot of bipeds and quads, a rising number of tanks, some scatterings of reverse joint legs, some digitrade legs, and very few hover legs.

You realize that what you just said is "digitigrade." A reversed-knee joint is generally indicative of digitigrade legs. Now, most mods people have made are falsely digitigrade. To be "digitigrade" you have to stand on your toes and have an inverted knee. Most people just have the inverted knee joint.

Dude, digititrade in animals and reverse-joint in mechs work differently.

Digititrade in animals goes like this: hip-femur (slopes forward)-knee-tibia & fibula (slopes backward)-tarsals (elongated, slopes forward)-metatarsals (on contact with ground), so they form an S or Z like shape.

Whereas, the Mad Cat leg, for example: hip-upper structure (slopes backward)-lower structure (slopes forward)-foot (on contact with ground), so they form a C like shape.

Got the difference?
