Help with armature

Hello,
I need help with my armature. I am planning to make an droid. While most of the things work, the IK feet bones need to follow the movement of the back bone. I understand that it has to do with that the IK bones are conected to the feet bones, but I can’t seem to fix it. I tried the constraint child of, but that didn’t seem to work either.

Thanks in advance

BTW this is the first time on blenderartist so this might not be the right place for the thread.

Your IK targets should not be childs of the IK chain, as this causes an infinite loop when you move anything. Parent them directly under the back bone, then it should work.
Also, I don’t know if you did this intentionally, but usually when you have two or more bones in an IK chain, the IK constraint is on the last bone of the chain and then you can use the upper target bone as a pole to controll the bend direction. So you don’t need an IK constraint on every bone of the chain, but thats just a tip.

Thanks banitas, I will look into it tomorrow. :smiley:
