Thanks Superku,

I'll give it a run, and I'll post back the results.
What was happening is that after the animation blend the character just stops the animation, it kept moving until the distance was reached, but without animation, so basically those 3 lines were a hack for animation to continue... not good code practice I have to admit, but it did the job.

I'll let you know what comes out after I modify my code.

Thanks again.
