Player diagonal forward animation

When the player goes diagonaly forward the forward animation,
and strafe animation mix together making him look like a retard.
I would be fine if it just played the run animaion. Any one know how to do this?

Lol, yeah I noticed this too. Shouldn't be all too hard to change but I'm not in the code at the moment.

No offence to any retards who cannot help but walk in this manner. I really am a great humanitarium : p In fact i once had a sister with a wooden leg who walked kind of funny when straffing and i never judged her.
Seriously though, any punters on how one would achieve what's in my original post?

It checks the movement direction against a small array of vectors, to check if the player is going forward, backward or sideways (it's done in a for loop using dot products). The most dominant direction determines the animation used. It shouldn't be too hard to add some bias towards the forward movement or something.
