Animation transitioning? (Not sure what to call this lol)

[elder gulch]

Issue: https://streamable.com/ed5vz7
I am using the Roblox Animate script for my games animations currently. When the player equips their weapon, it deletes the old Animate script and replaces it with one which has the weapons animations. The transition from in the idle position is fine but the if you're walking the Walk cycle animation stops working until you let go of the movement keys and move again. Is there a way to deal with this or do I just make a custom animation system

TLDR:

• Two Separate Roblox Animate scripts for equipped and unequipped weapon
• When walking and unsheathing or sheathing the animation stops playing and does not play the new walk animation.

Would forcefully playing the new walk animation if the player is moving work?, Does Roblox automatically stop it if it wasn't called in the animate script.

Animation Actions.

oh wait

nevermind

wrong issue

i think it has to be with the priority

[shadow pendant]

no

not exactly

otherwise, his animation wouldnt fuck up

cause it seems like the legs arent animated

hence, making the legs use the walk animation part instead

[topaz horizon]

i am utterly flabbergasted

i have not the extreme level of literary knowledge to decipher how animations work

How are you handling the animation for when the character walks?

[elder gulch]

I'm using the default Roblox animate script, so whatever it does

[hushed oar]

I don't think you can fix it then, (maybe yes), I'm new to programming, but from what I've done, I've had problems with the default Animate from Roblox, and it's been easier for me to make my own, i had that same problem that you are having

[elder gulch]

That sucks, thanks

My fix for this exact same problem

was to script my own Animation System

I wish there was an easier way

[elder gulch]

Yeah it's unfortunate

I was intending on making my own animation system for directional walking animations when i'd finished the main stuff anyways so it's not too bad

Thanks though

for motivation: making an animation system isn't that hard actually

the roblox one

is just spaghetti
