having trouble correcting a coding mistake with animations | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

#

i made a script for combat using 4 m1s, but i cant get the 4th animation to play, not only that but once the 3rd m1 registers it loops and wont cycle back to the first, if someone can help me, would i be able to paste my code for them to potentially find an issue?

u got the animation priority correct?

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:25 PM

#

i think so

#

i might just send the code its probably easier that way

#

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local M1 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M1)
local M2 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M2)
local M3 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M3)
local M4 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M4)
local combo = 1
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(I,E)
if E then return end
if I.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
if combo == 4 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
M4: Play()
spawn(function()
task.wait(.1)
combo = 1

         end)
        
    
        
    elseif combo == 3 then
        game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
        M3: Play()
    elseif combo == 2 then
        game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
        M2: Play()
        combo = combo + 1
    elseif combo == 1 then
        game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
        M1: Play()
        combo = combo + 1
    end
    
end

end)

#

these are the names of my anims

#

wait i think i just noticed the problem

#

hang on

#

nevermind

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

u got it?

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

no

#

it stood out more without the highlights

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

wait only some of your animations works?

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

yeah only the first 3 m1s

#

i cant get the 4th one to work

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:29 PM

#

can I see the properties of m4?

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:29 PM

#

the animation itself?

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:29 PM

#

yeah in the animations folder

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:29 PM

#

yeah sure

#

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

is animation priority action?

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

i made it on moonanimator

#

im not sure if i can check that box on that plugin

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

you can do it with script

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

oh really

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

like
animation.AnimationPriority

#

and then Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

im very new to scripting so i might ask some dumb questions

#

would i have to add a script for the animation or put this in an already existing script

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

just use the script you already have

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

okay

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

onyx dome like animation.AnimationPriority

btw I mean
animation.Priority

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

oh okay

#

im guessing i put this under the m4 animation?

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

yeah

M4.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4

#

just put this line under "local M4 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M4)"

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

okay, ill try it now and playtest thanks dude

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

opal mural okay, ill try it now and playtest thanks dude

np

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

if it doesnt work ill reupload my animation since i think itll be an issue with the ID

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

yeah, it might not be published correctly

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:39 PM

#

onyx dome yeah M4.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4

im getting an error after adding this line

#

i put it under the line you said

#

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

can you send the script?

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

sure

#

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local M1 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M1)
local M2 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M2)
local M3 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M3)
local M4 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.M4)
Enum.AnimationPriority.M4
local combo = 1
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(I,E)
if E then return end
if I.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
if combo == 4 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
M4: Play()
spawn(function()
task.wait(.1)
combo = 1

         end)
        
    
        
    elseif combo == 3 then
        game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
        M3: Play()
    elseif combo == 2 then
        game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
        M2: Play()
        combo = combo + 1
    elseif combo == 1 then
        game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
        M1: Play()
        combo = combo + 1
    end
    
end

end)

#

was i supposed to add more than just that one line

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

opal mural local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local character = plr.Character or plr.Char...

yeah you just typed "Enum.AnimationPriority.M4" and its incorrect

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

oh

compact ospreyBOT Apr 22, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 3! ** studio

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

do M4.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

yeah okay no error now, but its still the same issue#

#

keeps repeating the third m1 with no cycle back to the first

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

like its looped?

#

and you dont want it looped

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

yeah it loops the third m1

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

onyx dome and you dont want it looped

no

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:45 PM

#

opal mural yeah it loops the third m1

third m1 is m3 or m1?

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:46 PM

#

M3

onyx dome Apr 22, 2025, 7:46 PM

#

well the combo dosent change if it is 3

#

so its just gonna be stuck on 3

#

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(I,E)
    if E then return end
    if I.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
        if combo == 4 then
            game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
            M4: Play()
            spawn(function()
                task.wait(.1)
                combo = 1

             end)



        elseif combo == 3 then
            game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
            M3: Play()
            combo += 1
        elseif combo == 2 then
            game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
            M2: Play()
            combo += 1
        elseif combo == 1 then
            game.ReplicatedStorage.MainEvent:FireServer()
            M1: Play()
            combo += 1
        end

    end

end)

I changed "combo = combo + 1" to "combo += 1" cuz its shorter and cleaner

opal mural Apr 22, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

onyx dome ```lua UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(I,E) if E then return end if I.Us...

ah okay okay

#
