What is Stealth Motion?

Stealth Motion is a tactical movement system for Roblox that expands the normal walking and running controls. Players can crouch, go fully prone, sprint, recover stamina, and move through special passages that require a lower posture.

It is designed for games where movement should be part of the gameplay. Players can hide behind objects, crawl under vehicles, enter vents, move through pipes, or find routes that standing characters cannot use.

Main Features

• Crouching movement
• Fully prone crawling
• Sprint or dash movement
• Stamina drain and recovery
• Optional exhausted state
• Custom posture animations
• Custom walking and sprint sounds
• Camera height and FOV effects
• Low-posture and prone-only passages
• PC, mobile, and gamepad controls

Crouch and Prone Movement

Players can move in three main posture states: standing, crouching, and prone. Each posture can use its own movement speed, camera height, animation, and passage permissions.

• Standing
  Normal movement for open areas and regular gameplay.
• Crouching
  Slower movement for cover, low doors, tunnels, and hidden routes.
• Prone
  Full crawling movement for very small spaces and prone-only passages.
• Automatic speed changes
  WalkSpeed changes according to the current posture and movement state.

Two Posture Input Styles

Creators can choose between two posture control styles. This makes the system easier to match with different game types and different player control preferences.

• HoldForProne
  Press the posture key briefly to crouch. Hold the same key to continue into prone movement.
• Cycle
  Press the posture key to move through Standing → Crouching → Prone → Standing.

Sprint, Stamina, and Exhaustion

The sprint system gives players faster movement while stamina remains. Stamina drains during active sprinting and begins recovering after the configured recovery delay.

When stamina reaches zero, the optional exhausted state can reduce the player’s speed until enough stamina has recovered.

• Maximum stamina
  Set the total amount of stamina available.
• Drain rate
  Control how quickly stamina is used while sprinting.
• Recovery rate
  Control how quickly stamina returns.
• Recovery delay
  Add a short delay before stamina begins recovering.
• Minimum sprint stamina
  Require a minimum amount before a new sprint can begin.
• Exhausted speed
  Set a slower movement speed while the player is exhausted.

Low-Posture Passages

Stealth Motion includes a special passage system for vents, pipes, tunnels, crawl spaces, and other narrow routes. Passage parts use tags, so creators can decide which posture is required without adding a separate Script to every passage.

Collision groups are changed according to the player’s posture. A crouching player can pass through a normal low-posture blocker, while a prone-only blocker still prevents crouching characters.

• LowPostureBlocker
  Blocks standing players while allowing crouching and prone players.
• LowPostureZone
  Prevents players from standing up while they remain inside the passage.
• ProneOnlyBlocker
  Allows prone characters but continues blocking crouching characters.
• ProneOnlyZone
  Prevents players from leaving prone posture inside the smallest passages.

Safe Posture Changes

The system checks whether the player is still inside a restricted passage before allowing them to stand up or leave prone posture. This helps prevent characters from standing inside ceilings, vents, pipes, or other narrow spaces.

Jump input can also return the player to standing posture. Creators can choose whether the jump happens immediately after the posture change is approved.

• Prevent standing inside low passages
• Require prone posture inside prone-only passages
• Jump can exit crouch or prone
• Sprint input can exit low posture
• Blocked posture changes are checked by the server
• Character collision groups return to normal after standing

Custom Posture Animations

Separate animation settings are available for crouch idle, crouch movement, prone idle, and prone movement. Creators can enter their own animation IDs and adjust the playback speed of each animation.

• Crouch Idle
  Played while crouching without moving.
• Crouch Move
  Played while moving in crouch posture.
• Prone Idle
  Played while lying still.
• Prone Move
  Played while crawling.
• Animation speed
  Adjust each posture animation separately.
• Fade time and priority
  Control transition time and animation priority.

Custom Footstep Sounds

Walking and sprinting can use different custom footstep sounds. The system can mute Roblox’s normal running sound and replace it with sounds selected by the creator.

Playback speed changes according to the player’s actual movement speed, helping the sound feel more connected to walking and sprinting. Low-posture movement does not use the normal looping footstep sound.

• Separate walk and sprint sound IDs
• Separate volume settings
• Separate playback speed settings
• Speed-based playback adjustment
• Adjustable sound distance
• Optional default running sound mute

Camera Movement and FOV

The camera moves lower when the player crouches or goes prone. This helps the posture change feel visible from the player’s view instead of only changing the character animation.

Field of view can also change during sprinting, crouching, and prone movement. Camera transitions use smooth movement instead of changing instantly.

• Crouch camera offset
  Moves the camera lower during crouching.
• Prone camera offset
  Moves the camera closer to the ground while prone.
• Sprint FOV
  Gives faster movement a stronger visual feeling.
• Smooth transitions
  Offset and FOV speeds can be adjusted separately.

PC, Mobile, and Gamepad Controls

Stealth Motion supports keyboard, touch, and gamepad input. Mobile players receive dedicated sprint and posture buttons, while gamepad controls can use configurable buttons.

• Keyboard
  Adjustable sprint and posture keys.
• Mobile
  Dedicated DASH and posture buttons.
• Gamepad
  Adjustable sprint and posture controls.
• Toggle or hold sprint
  Mobile and gamepad sprint can use toggle-style controls.
• Mobile button scale
  Adjust the size of the touch buttons.
• Stamina GUI
  Shows the current stamina amount on supported devices.

Customizable Settings

The included setup script automatically creates the Settings folders and network objects required by the system. Most important options can be changed through Value objects without editing the main movement scripts.

• 01_Movement
  Movement speeds, posture behavior, jumping, and passage settings.
• 02_Stamina
  Stamina amount, drain, recovery, delay, and exhaustion.
• 03_Controls
  PC keys, gamepad buttons, mobile behavior, and posture input mode.
• 04_Animations
  Crouch and prone animation IDs, speeds, fade time, and priority.
• 05_Camera
  Camera offsets, FOV values, and transition speeds.
• 06_Footsteps
  Sound IDs, volume, playback speed, and sound distance.
• 07_Interface
  Stamina bar, mobile buttons, visibility, and button scale.

Installation Structure

The system uses two server scripts and one LocalScript. The setup script creates the ReplicatedStorage folders, Settings values, and RemoteEvents automatically.

• ServerScriptService
  Place TacticalMovementSetup.server.lua and TacticalMovementServer.server.lua here.
• StarterPlayerScripts
  Place TacticalMovementClient.client.lua here.
• ReplicatedStorage
  TacticalMovementSystem, Settings, and Remotes are created automatically.
• Passage Parts
  Add the correct CollectionService tags to low-posture passage parts.

R15 Character Support

Stealth Motion is designed for R15 characters. The posture animation system, camera behavior, and low-posture movement should be tested with the character setup used by the final game.

Best Use Cases

Stealth Motion is a good fit for Roblox games where movement, hidden routes, and environmental navigation are important.

• Stealth games
• Military games
• Survival games
• Horror experiences
• Escape games
• Adventure maps
• Roleplay games
• Spy missions
• Vent and tunnel exploration
• Hidden route gameplay

Why Creators May Like It

Stealth Motion makes movement more useful than simple walking and running. Players can choose a posture, manage stamina, move through restricted routes, and use the map in different ways.

The system can be used as a complete tactical movement package or adjusted to use only the features needed by the game. Movement speeds, controls, animations, sounds, camera effects, passages, stamina, and mobile UI can all be customized.
