Script not letting npc do animation

[frail ibex]

Unsure on the fix, i have made and published an animation and entered the ID though it may not be fully visible on the screenshot

[quick nymph]

is the game from a group?

[frail ibex]

nope just myself

[quick nymph]

hm

if thats not it

[frail ibex]

i have no clue what im really doing, i made an animation and thought "lemme try it ingame"

[quick nymph]

maybe it the animation it self

does the animation have movement?

@frail ibex

[frail ibex]

yes

its like a little dance

[quick nymph]

no like

does it move

example you point b

to point a

[frail ibex]

yes? why would it not its an animation

[merry gorge]

** You are now Level 1! **

[quick nymph]

like the position

[frail ibex]

i can send a short clip if thatll help

[quick nymph]

alright

send

[frail ibex]

this was sent to other people b4 btw thats why its long

[quick nymph]

Oh

the problem here is probably because it doesnt repeat

[frail ibex]

i dont follow

[quick nymph]

Are u infront of the npc when you span

spawn

[frail ibex]

yes

[quick nymph]

uh

then idk

[frail ibex]

if i use the run option instead where its the camera it still doesnt do it

[quick nymph]

if you mind what game are u making

hmm then idk

[frail ibex]

i dont know what game i want to exactly do yet, i wanted to play around with some things tonight though

[quick nymph]

oh

alright

bye!

[frail ibex]

?

wha

[quick nymph]

well

i dont know

what to do

[frail ibex]

i guess a fighting game if that helps thatd probably be inline with what id want

[quick nymph]

alright

[frail ibex]

is that helpful to you?

[graceful dust]

u didn't set the animation parent

set animation.Parent to Humanoid

[frail ibex]

one second lemme try that

[graceful dust]

also since the rig is an existing model, why clone if you can preload everything by just putting an animation folder inside of humanoid or something, and from there load the animation?

[frail ibex]

im not exactly sure what any of that means in all honesty i dont mean to be rude i just have no clue what you mean by putting an animation folder in the humanoid

[graceful dust]

I meant like instead of cloning and duplicating stuff just put an animation inside of the humanoid in studio and put the animationid there. from there you can get the animation and load it. easy peasy

[frail ibex]

the animation is in my rig i believe

[graceful dust]

Yeah you can load it.
Do

local anim = script.Animation
local animator = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator
local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
track:Play()

[frail ibex]

copy pasted that and hes not doing the animation

[merry gorge]

** You are now Level 2! **

[graceful dust]

Im gonna delay it so you can see

local anim = script.Animation
local animator = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator
local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
task.wait(4)
track:Play()

[frail ibex]

WAIT HE DOES DO IT

OK HES DOING IT

[noble lichen]

I mean you have to wait until the character loads that could be the reason

[merry gorge]

** You are now Level 5! **

[graceful dust]

Not the reason

[frail ibex]

without the delay he would just stand their

[noble lichen]

yeah thats what im saying

[graceful dust]

Pretty sure when he was loading the game loaded faster

[noble lichen]

how could the game load faster than a model that its in the game 😮

[graceful dust]

Networkship

you tell that

[frail ibex]

is their a way to loop the animation in code?

[graceful dust]

yes

track.Looped = true

[noble lichen]

yeah animation.Looped = true

[frail ibex]

and what line would that go on?

[graceful dust]

beginning

but below the track

[graceful dust]

below the track line

local anim = script.Animation
local animator = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator
local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
track.Looped = true
task.wait(4)
track:Play()

[frail ibex]

it only does the 1 with that

[graceful dust]

what

[frail ibex]

ye it only does it once for some reason

[graceful dust]

did u use this? @frail ibex

[frail ibex]

yep copy pasted that

i can screenshare or record it if needed

[graceful dust]

show me

[frail ibex]

through a recording or screenshare

[graceful dust]

recording

[frail ibex]

one moment

[graceful dust]

also, please use Gyazo lmfao instead of screen recording from a phone

or Medal / Geforce experience

[frail ibex]

i left 4 second space after the emote to see if it looped the wait line to and it still didnt

i just ran it without the task wait line and it wouldnt do it at all

[graceful dust]

did you publish the animation as looped though

[frail ibex]

no...

that might help wouldnt it

how do i publish it as a loop if you know

[graceful dust]

same as you did when you pressed that refresh button looking thing

[frail ibex]

wait so that just has to be toggled on when i publish

[graceful dust]

toggle looping animation yes that and publish it

[frail ibex]

so, when i inserted the looped version ID, it yet again didnt play or loop, HOWEVER with the task.wait command it did forever loop

[merry gorge]

** You are now Level 3! **

[frail ibex]

so i do need the time to start it on it

that should be fixed now, Thank you so much for the help, if i can ask one more question however would i input the same code to make the player do the animation instead of the npc

nvm it did work

[graceful dust]

inputting that you should go with

local anim = script.Animation game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local cloned = anim:Clone()
cloned.Parent = plr.Character.Humanoid
local animtrack = plr.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(cloned)
animtrack:Play()
end)```

[frail ibex]

is that in a local script or normal script

ill use that instead to be on the safe side, dont want spaghetti coding lmao

that doesnt seem to work on either local or normal script

[graceful dust]

serverscript

serverscriptservice

can't get spoofed because its on server

[frail ibex]

where is that?

wait nvm

im blind

and thats a normal script inserted into serverscriptservice correct?

[graceful dust]

there is three type of scripts

modulescript (client and server (this is only for data)) (the colour of this script is purple)
localscript (client only - client PC viewable, ignored by engine if in server instances.) (the colour is blue.)
serverscript (access to all data in server, instances, and stuff, the brain of the game.) (colour is white.)

[frail ibex]

ok im following

when i go to insert a script to further insert the script youve given me i dont see a server script

[graceful dust]

i just told you the color is white

that means its a Script

in terms of short

[frail ibex]

OH right ok i get it now, sorry

that doesnt seem to do it ;_;

thats the full thing their, i added the animation and ID like before to it aswell

[graceful dust]

bro uh you need to press enter on the first line

between animation and game.Players

Format it

[frail ibex]

so the game.Players part is on line 2 then

[graceful dust]

ye

also

[frail ibex]

it didnt do it still

[graceful dust]

you should have the animation inside of the script

[frail ibex]

pardon?

[graceful dust]

same as this you see this pill animation put it in that script

[frail ibex]

Oh so copy intro dance to the serverscript

[merry gorge]

** You are now Level 4! **

[frail ibex]

still didnt work
