What is the best option to change the animations of the character for you?

[eternal ingot]

Hi! I have a question that i dont find any solve searching online, what is the best way to change the animations like idle, walk, jump, etc, of the character?

I used to copy the animate localscript of the character, and changing the IDs of the animations, then the script copy that and replaces the character's one, but it have any problems, i think is a very bad way to do, and the character needs to walk or play any animation to update it.

What do you think about?

This is the basic way to change animations

[eternal ingot]

Yes, but it's really poor to use, isn't it?

I wanted to know a better way to do it, that would be better

[worthy brook]

you can change animations by humanoid description too

or just create a script

and change anims in

[worthy brook]

Its not really bad to use that way

Among those you mentioned, which one do you think is the best?

And, if i use that, is there any proproety of the humanoid or animator that i can call to refresh the animations?

Bc like, if i change the animator of the character and dont kill or it dont move, it still with the old animation

[worthy brook]

The best way is still the one that u used

changing anims in roblox default animate local script

[eternal ingot]

Oh, ok, ty

if it is a special action use Animator

[eternal ingot]

I want it to be replaced while the character still alive, how can i refresh the animations?

Like, the character is stopped, idle is playing, when i replace de Animate, the character needs to walk or play any animation to refresh it

[rugged kayak]

make an animation script then

[eternal ingot]

Checking the player's velocity to change it?

[rugged kayak]

basically yes

[eternal ingot]

To check the jump, fall, and that things i need to check the propriety, right?

[rugged kayak]

when he changes animation, another script will execute the stop animation if he is stopped or walk if he is walking, and when he changes state this replacement script will stop executing

[eternal ingot]

Oooh i got it

[rugged kayak]

humanoid.WalkSpeed.Magnitude something like that

[eternal ingot]

The other script will only be enabled while it is changing the characters animations, when 100% be replaced it will get off?

[rugged kayak]

no need to detect if he is jumping

[rugged kayak]

yes

[eternal ingot]

I got it, tysm

[rugged kayak]

use the Humanoid.ChangedState:Once()

[eternal ingot]

Sure
