Proxxy Prompt to make View Model do an interacting animation | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

So i've been stuck on this for a while, whenever i have tried to trigger the animation when activating the prox prompt it always says "Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service."

I have put my viewmodel into the workspace instead of Rep Storage, didnt work, tried game:GetService('RunService').Stepped:Wait() and task.wait(), also didnt work, i need some help figuring this out lol

below are my scripts for my viewmodel and the Prox Prompt script

Local - ViewModel

local Viewmodel = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Viewmodel")
local viewModelInstance = Viewmodel:Clone()
local Anim = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Anims")
local MainModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ModuleScript)

-- Parts must be anchored in the workspace so this is my fix, does not affect anything else
viewModelInstance.Parent = game.Workspace
viewModelInstance["Left Arm"].Anchored = false
viewModelInstance["Right Arm"].Anchored = false
viewModelInstance["HumanoidRootPart"].Anchored = false

-- idle animation for my viewmodel, took out the animation temporarily when i was messing with locomotion
local Animation = Anim.Idle
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"

-- gets the module script
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(Dt)
    MainModule.update(viewModelInstance, Dt)
end)

-- to trigger the the idle anim
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    local Humanoid = viewModelInstance:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") or viewModelInstance:FindFirstChildOfClass("AnimationController")

    if not Humanoid then
        Humanoid = Instance.new("AnimationController")
        Humanoid.Parent = viewModelInstance
    end

    local Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
    if not Animator then
        Animator = Instance.new("Animator")
        Animator.Parent = Humanoid
    end

    local AnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
    AnimationTrack:Play()
end)

Module - ViewModel

local module = {}

-- makes the ViewModel attach to the player camera
function module.update(Viewmodel, dt)
    Viewmodel.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.Camera.CFrame
end

return module

Script - Prox Prompt to active the animation

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
local Anim = game.ReplicatedStorage.Anims:WaitForChild("Interact")

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(plr) -- gets the player
    local hum = workspace.Viewmodel:Clone()
    game:GetService('RunService').Stepped:Wait()
    task.wait()
    local loadAnim = hum.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim)
    
    loadAnim:Play() -- plays the animation
end)

I see that the Viewmodel is obtained from the workspace and cloned, is that model in the workspace? and the variable "loadAnim" gets the Humanoid from the duplicate model

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 1:51 AM

#

everything is in the workspace except the scripts causing the viewmodel to work

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 1:51 AM

#

You should not clone the model from "ReplicatedStorage" ?

#

Show me the Worckspace at runtime

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 1:52 AM

#

i read everywhere that if you want to use an event trigger for an animation it needs to be in the workspace

#

when i did it in rep storage it did not work

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 1:52 AM

#

In the video there is an error of line 8, of the variable "hum"

#

Have you done any print to see if you get what you expected?

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 1:53 AM

#

yes

#

one moment lemmie get the origional script back in bc i was adjusting it and i did nothing

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 1:55 AM

#

Let me see the code on the laptop, it's difficult on cell phone

#

The Viewmodel has Humanoid?

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

i removed it bc it broke stuff

#

i tried it bc i was running out of ideas

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:00 AM

#

This is what causes the error according to the console

#

from line 8

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:01 AM

#

i swear to god if it is im gonna end it

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:01 AM

#

it is always good to make prints before you make the code, so you are sure to get what you expect in the variables

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:02 AM

#

i might have an idea ima try real quick

#

nvm it had the same output

#

yeah

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:05 AM

#

no, wait

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

wait it changed

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

It must be because there are 2 models with the same name.

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

I DID FIX SOMETHING

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

working?

#

👀

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

NEVERMIND ‼️

#

yeah no did nothing

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

uh, at least it doesn't give error?

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

same error

#

it was on a different line but my dumbass didnt realize it was the same line of code

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

what

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

ill try to put it through chat gpt to see if it does anything with it

#

if not then im gonna guess it's an engine problem

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

I have a question, and maybe it's because of this:

bleak wharfBOT Jun 17, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

studio ** You are now Level 5! ** studio

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

why clone the viewmodel if you can access it without :Clone()?

#

because when you duplicate you get the property of the duplicate and not the one that is for the character

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

because the viewmodel 1. needs to go to every player, and 2. needs to be client side

#

also chat gpt quite literally did nothing with it

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

and the parent of viewmodel on clone?

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
local Anim = game.Workspace.Anims:WaitForChild("Interact")
local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")

-- Preload the animation
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({Anim})

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
    -- Check if the player has a character
    if not plr.Character then
        warn("Player does not have a character")
        return
    end

    -- Clone the viewmodel and set its parent to the workspace
    local viewmodel = workspace.Viewmodel:Clone()
    viewmodel.Parent = workspace

    -- Wait for the next frame to ensure the clone is properly set up
    game:GetService('RunService').Stepped:Wait()

    -- Ensure the cloned viewmodel has an AnimationController and Animator
    local animController = viewmodel:FindFirstChildOfClass("AnimationController")
    if not animController then
        warn("No AnimationController found in viewmodel clone")
        return
    end

    local animator = animController:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
    if not animator then
        warn("No Animator found in viewmodel clone")
        return
    end

    -- Load and play the animation
    local loadAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(Anim)
    loadAnim:Play()
end)

#

what the fuck is this

#

😭

#

it added shit that just isnt needed

#

like why check if it has an animator or that the player has a character

#

actual undertale code

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

The property named "Animation" is the same class on viewmodel?

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:16 AM

#

the animation is what holds the animator

#

and its that or the humanoid

#

but the humanoid adds weird collision and doesnt do anything anyways

#

i am tempted to remove the animation but learning what can fix it could probably help in the future

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

if the game is multiplayer, leaving the viewmodel in the workspace will cause more errors, since there will be more than one viewmodel with the same name.

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

proud nexus the animation is what holds the animator

(its also called the animationcontroller) thats why many scripts say "FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")"

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

jagged trout if the game is multiplayer, leaving the viewmodel in the workspace will cause mo...

i am planning on randomizing the name at the end

#

but even then at most itll be 2v2

#

its gonna be a survival-horror fps

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

Isn't it better to have the viewmodel inside the player and thus access it more easily from the character's character?

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

that isnt possible with the way i need to do it

#

yes, it would be much more tidy to jsut use replicated storage and clone it from there

#

BUT

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:21 AM

#

and what does not make it possible?

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:21 AM

#

animations break

#

thats where the "Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service." error is usually from

#

if you try to trigger an animation to something cloned from rep storage it wont work

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:21 AM

#

let me analyze the video again

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:21 AM

#

it need to be in the workspace

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

proud nexus if you try to trigger an animation to something cloned from rep storage it wont ...

the parent is cloned AND the parent is added to run the animation, and because the parent when cloning an object is nil

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:23 AM

#

yes

#

so i need to make the viewmodel clone's parent the workspace

#

which is why the viewmodel clone in the video is in the workspace

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

see, this is what should give error

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

it isnt though

#

no errors have come from that

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

from the video 2 ViewModel are shown, and it is not known which one to access, if the one of the character's camera or the one that is simply in the workspace.

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:25 AM

#

it is

#

it selects the clone one

#

thats why hum = the viewmodel clone

#

that isnt to clone the viewmodel its to signify which model is being used

#

thats also why the cloned viewmodel is attached to the player camera and the original one is still in the world

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

try to rename the viewmodel that is not used for the camera

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

it wont do anything

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

proud nexus thats also why the cloned viewmodel is attached to the player camera and the ori...

I am confused

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

when you use hum

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

😟

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

it doesnt use the already made viewmodel

#

after it is cloned, it used the clone instead

#

that's why i am able to automatically make the clone attach to the camera and make it unanchored

#

here one sec

#

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

I think I understood, the one that is cloned is the one you showed, and you try to put the animation on it

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

yeah

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

ok, I will analyze everything again

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:33 AM

#

but the error applied to it and i dont know why because everything i have seen about the error has not fixed my problem

#

i talked to someone pretty experienced before and they were completely lost as well

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:35 AM

#

when running the game the viewmodel is already cloned

#

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:35 AM

#

yeah

#

that script is so it can use the cloned viewmodel

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

and this makes you think that the clone is accessed, but this method is to clone

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

as i said before im not cloning it with that

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

the :Clone() is to clone and not to obtain a cloned object.

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

doing local ____ = something:clone() is to make it so you have a shortcut to that clone

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

and by pressing the button you would be cloning a third party instead of accessing the clone.

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

proud nexus doing local ____ = something:clone() is to make it so you have a shortcut to tha...

nonono

#

:Clone() is for clone objects

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

yeah

#

once you use it its clones

#

and using it again accesses the cloned model

#

if it cloned it again it would show up in the workspace

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

let me correct it, wait here

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

but there are only 2

#

the original and the cloned

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

from viewmodelinstance, add another name to it

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

no that isnt messing it up at all because i havent been getting any errors that would signify that

#

the error is with the animation itself

jagged trout Jun 17, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

and to this change the name you added to it," without the :Clone()"

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

nono because then it would use the normal one

#

not the cloned one

#

i dont mean to be rude but i dont think you really know what you're talking about

#

AnimationClipProvider Service is a service and has nothing to do with the viewmodel

barren agate Jun 17, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

i havent ran through ur code but i know "cannot load animationclipprovider" was a engine bug a couple months ago it may have come back or something

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

oh really?

#

that was a suspicion honestly

barren agate Jun 17, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

i havent scripted in a while and never messed with animations much so i cant let u know if its a definite engine bug and not an issue with ur code but i remember this being an issue so i thought id lyk

proud nexus Jun 17, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

it likely is a bug with the engine

#

because everything i read said it was because it wasn't in the workspace but the error still came up after putting it into the workspace

#

ill probably keep the animation details for when im done with the core features then
