having an issue where the creaking rotates its whole model, tried almost everything still couldnt get it to stop rotating when walking

#

have u checked if the model is stuck fully under the head category in the model itself?
because it looks like that may be the case with your model

ebon storm have u checked if the model is stuck fully under the head category in the model ...

the model is not under head but its under body

#

could that be the issue?

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:11 AM

#

if the entire model is then yes because by default the creaking moves its body parts as it moves a certain way so if all of it is in one spot, it will rotate the entire model

#

i put the model under a folder named "creaking" but the animation stops working and reverts to its original animation

#

animation works completely fine in blockbench though

#

heres the .jem file although im not sure if this helps

#

ahhh i see

#

so for the creaking

#

you need to make the model with the right group parts

#

at least im pretty sure

#

because u have a folder group for "creaking", which breaks into groups of "newleg, newleg2, ...", which is not the main root groups of the creaking normally

#

when u make the model you should try to use the root groups, which include head, body, left_arm, right_arm, left_leg, and right_leg

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 1:24 AM

#

but you said if i do that it breaks the model

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

No no, sorry let me re-explain, i apologize for the confusion

#

So looking in blockbench, this is what the model for the creaking should look like when it comes to root groups:
the blue folder icon is the root group and the name next to it is what it refers to, and so from what I can tell from the earlier image is that you had all your body pieces (cubes) inside of one root group, which made it rotate weird (at least I am assuming), but in your .jem file it has a completely different root group structure which messes with the model

#

I apologize if that doesn't make sense 😅

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

so just leave it as the default CEM and make animations?

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:29 AM

#

when it comes to root groups, I would say yes leave it, but you can change the cubes inside it and use additional folders in the root groups to animate different parts differently

#

white cedar animation works completely fine in blockbench though

ah sorry i also missed this part, if the animation reverts back, it might be that you don't have the original animations cancelled out

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 1:31 AM

#

i already tried the canceling out thing

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:32 AM

#

in the current .jem file u sent it doesnt have it cancelled out from what I can see-

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 1:32 AM

#

i deleted it because it wasnt helping

#

i kinda fixed the creaking with the new model but im unsure which animation do i cancel out to stop it from rotating

#

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:34 AM

#

Okay! I see it

#

So to cancel it out, what I normally do (it might not fully work but hopefully it does for u if you try it) Is you put the cubes u have in each root group into another folder but still have each cube u want in the respective root group, just nested into another folder

#

I can show an example

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 1:35 AM

#

but which parts do i cancel out

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:38 AM

#

So to cancel it out you need to make another group, for example with your model you can do this:

then in the animation if you want to cancel out the animation of the original head and add a new one, here's what i usually do:

"head2.rx": <your code here that you wanted>,
"head.rx": 0

#

or you can do what the cem animation doc says, which is make a cancel group and make it the negative of the original animation

#

If you don't have it already, would you like the CEM Documentation for Animation? :)

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 1:41 AM

#

would it matter if i only put the code in one part only?

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:48 AM

#

Wdym?

#

OH wait i think i know what you mean

#

So for each root group, let's use the head group for example, you would only put the head animations in that one

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 1:49 AM

#

ohh

#

i also gotta put rx, ry and rz for the "part": 0 thing right?

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 1:50 AM

#

Yep!

#

At least that's worked for me, i apologize if it doesnt for u

white cedar Mar 30, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

i mean its a bit better

ebon storm Mar 30, 2026, 2:31 AM

#

Also an extra thing that may help is make sure you have the folders in the root groups pivoted correctly, because if the pivot is somewhere away from where you want it the animation may be less of how u want
