Mech legs [HELP]

Can I please be given the knowledge of walking through FT codes and other things?

    @ArcturusAerospace that's just a limitation of physics
    See if you can increase the steps rate, or use a more running animation. You'll want the feet to move faster

    How would I make it walk faster than 4-6 mph?

    @ArcturusAerospace n=180 for 1 step/second.
    Higher n -> faster steps
    Also try making n variable with an input if you want variable speed

    What should I use for n?

    Thanks. I'll try it as soon as I'm done with online school.

    @ArcturusAerospace just see my mecha
    Basics:
    - use sine or cosine functions of time, multiply time by a number to change the period (example: sin(Time*180), period = 2 sec)
    - if the rotator starts in the middle of the range, use sine (example: hip joint)
    - if the rotator starts at an end, use cosine (example: knee joint and ankle joint)
    - you can offset the range of a function by adding or subtracting a number
    - use functions of your input like Pitch, Throttle etc as a switch
    - check one leg first and make sure it moves correctly, then mirror and replace the Time function so one leg moves after the other (Time*n -> Time*n+n), check for movement in the correct direction
    If you don't want smooth movement, you can experiment with pingpong()
