[raw flower]

Why would u need to put animations on the server side

It replicates automatically

[raw flower]

@hidden coral does it work in studio

[hidden coral]

i put it in serverscriptservice

[hidden coral]

im new

but

the animation is still not working

for other people

let me send the script

idk whats wrong with it

@raw flower look on dms

wair

i send a pic

wait at the top

i forgot to show

this is the top

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local CombatEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CombatEvent")

local COMBO_WINDOW = 1.8
local HITBOX_SIZE = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5)
local HITBOX_DURATION = 1.5

local PUNCH_COOLDOWN = 0.5
local FINAL_COOLDOWN = 3
local SLOWDOWN_TIME = 0.4
local NORMAL_SPEED = 16
local SLOWED_SPEED = 6

[raw flower]

The animation should be played locally

[hidden coral]

im quite new

so thats why i struggle

[raw flower]

The rule is:
• animations on NPCs should be played on the server
• animations on players characters should be played in a LocalScript

[hidden coral]

no but i want it to work in roblox

[raw flower]

Go to the LocalScript where u fire CombatEvent:FireServer

It's okay it will work

Since players have network ownership of their own characters

[hidden coral]

in replicatedstorage i have an event called CombatEvent, in serverscriptservice i have a script for combatsystem and in starterplayerscripts i have a local script called CombatInput

[raw flower]

So this is how exploiters can change the position of their own character to teleport & other players can see it.

Because all movements of characters or vehicles controlled by players has to be simulated by the players device in order to appear smoothly enough.

So in the local script called CombatInput

You should play the animation there

Trust me that will fix it. And don't worry you'll get the hang of this, animations are very annoying at first

[hidden coral]

so i have to do it in starterplayerscripts?

but @late onyx said i have to do it in serverscriptservice

[raw flower]

Yes

The animation should definitely be played in a local script (CombatInput)

[hidden coral]

ok

[median steppe]

** You are now Level 4! **

[raw flower]

And you don't need to look for the animator, you can play the animation using humanoid

😊

[hidden coral]

also do i need anything in replicatedstorage

[raw flower]

No ur good the way you have it set up now with just the RemoteEvent

Also, remember you need to be the owner of the animation, and if the game is a group game, you need to have permissions to create group assets and upload the animations as a group creation.

[hidden coral]

how do i make it so everybdoy can use it'

without them joining a group'

[raw flower]

Also, do you think you can vote up my suggestion? https://discord.com/channels/448986884497211392/982027942995566634

[hidden coral]

sure

done

[raw flower]

It will work for everyone, even if they arent members of the group, as long as the animation is owned by the owner of the game. In this case, since its a group game, the owner is the group itself. This means the animation has to be a group creation/ owned by the group.

[raw flower]

Thank you!!

[hidden coral]

so it doesnt work in roblox studio but works in roblox

?

[raw flower]

It should work in both once you set it up so that the animation is played from the local script

And as long as the animation is uploaded to the group

[hidden coral]

i dont have a group

shld i buy one?

[raw flower]

Is it just a game that you own?

[hidden coral]

yh

[raw flower]

You don't need a group. If you're the owner of the game you can just upload it as an animation

[hidden coral]

into the script

right

?

[raw flower]

You have to publish it as a private creation to roblox

In the animation editor you can either import from roblox or export to roblox

[hidden coral]

how do i export to roblox

[raw flower]

Once you do that you can copy the ID number

[hidden coral]

js the animation i made?

[raw flower]

Yeah

[hidden coral]

wait but how do i export

[raw flower]

Its the 3 small dot u can press it to export to roblox

We can go on a call

U can share screen

[hidden coral]

but my mics broken

[raw flower]

Np

[hidden coral]
