OK, i know how to use the animator by getting the plugin, but i don't know how to make them work when, for example, i walk around my game. Any ideas?

You can modify the Character's Animate script by copying the Character's Animate Script and placing it in the StarterPlayer>StarterCharacterScripts Folder
From there you can plugin your own Walk Animation
Here's the Animate Script found in the Character by default.
function waitForChild(parent, childName)
local child = parent:findFirstChild(childName)
if child then return child end
while true do
child = parent.ChildAdded:wait()
if child.Name==childName then return child end
end
end
local Figure = script.Parent
local Torso = waitForChild(Figure, "Torso")
local RightShoulder = waitForChild(Torso, "Right Shoulder")
local LeftShoulder = waitForChild(Torso, "Left Shoulder")
local RightHip = waitForChild(Torso, "Right Hip")
local LeftHip = waitForChild(Torso, "Left Hip")
local Neck = waitForChild(Torso, "Neck")
local Humanoid = waitForChild(Figure, "Humanoid")
local pose = "Standing"
local currentAnim = ""
local currentAnimInstance = nil
local currentAnimTrack = nil
local currentAnimKeyframeHandler = nil
local currentAnimSpeed = 1.0
local animTable = {}
local animNames = {
idle = {
{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=180435571", weight = 9 },
{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=180435792", weight = 1 }
},
------------------ Right here you Delete the Default Animation URL and Insert your Custom Walk Animation URL In Here
walk = {
{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=180426354", weight = 10 }
},
run = {
{ id = "run.xml", weight = 10 }
},
jump = {
{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=125750702", weight = 10 }
},
fall = {
{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=180436148", weight = 10 }
},
climb = {
{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=180436334", weight = 10 }
},
sit = {
{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=178130996", weight = 10 }
},
Ta-Da! That's All. It's ready to work, just don't change the Animate Script's Name to anything else, keep it as it is.

There is a wiki page that explains how to use animations, http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Animations
^^ that. Also use the default animation script as reference.
