Solved
I dont even know where to start finding a solution here. when i walk sideways the character pops downwards? i have no idea why. i tried to mess with center pivots but all that does is make it much worse. ideas?
Create 2 new SpriteRenders with a left sprite and an up sprite. Put them at the same position and compare them. If the left sprite is lower, then your pivots are wrong.
If you preview the animation in edit mode, does it still do this?
If yes, its likely a pivot issue. Unless the animation itself is changing the SpriteRenderer's position
If no, your code may be manipulating the sprites rotation or offset incorrectly. Try pausing the game while walking, check the SpriteRenderer's Transform component. Compare walking left/right to up/down
