How do I Make My FPS Viewmodel Play an Anim when i walk

[thorny mica]

I've tried practically everything i know, the rig is fine, it just doesnt play an animation if i walk if anyone could help itd be deeply appreciated

Is the "If humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then" the correct way to do this also

[thorny mica]

ive tried this

also wont work

where is your viewmodel?

do you mean like a fake pair of arms that the player sees whilst in first person?

Y3W

yes

also it is called M1 Garand

Im not sure theres anything incorrect about the script

oh damn it doesnt upload like a real video

practically all it does is sit in the same spot

[thorny mica]

the viewmodel is at the side of the image

or do you mean the actual way it looks

[flint ivy]

its in a loop, you're constantly playing the track

make it play once (make the animation looped also, with priority to movement)

[thorny mica]

do you have any ideas on how i could fix that problem

[flint ivy]

debouncing

[thorny mica]

I have no clue how i would debounce that

ive never done anything animation related

so this is a first

[thorny mica]

@flint ivy would you possibly know how to do that?

because im confused on how id use debounce to only play it once

ill do a quick example rn

[flint ivy]

        local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
        
        local anim = Instance.new("Animation") -- your anim or whatever
        local hum = Instance.new("Humanoid") -- your hum or whatever
        
        local playing = false
        
        RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
            if hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 3 and playing == false then
                playing = true
                anim:Play(0)
            elseif playing == true and hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude <= 3 then
                playing = false
                anim:Stop(0)
            end
        end)

basic example
