Stride Function problems

Hello all,

Im animating my first character, and am getting him to walk on a path with the stride function, this works ok, the problem is that he starts really slowly and then slowly speeds up.

my guess this is to do with my ratio on the ‘Stri:’ slider. But the results are terrible and im looking to make a relatively smooth path/walk motion. Does anyone have any tips and advice for this?

thanks
