NEED HELP -- I AM TRYING TO MAKE A ANIMATION FOR ALL MODELES

[paper flume]

could you provide a reference? i don't play "steal a fish" 😮‍💨

[snow bear]

ok

@paper flume

[paper flume]

if all your "fishes" are single-meshes or similar-meshes you could add an animationcontroller & a primary part to animate them.

just remember to make sure all of them are called the same & have the same amount of parts to minimize errors

if you don't want to use the animation editor then i'd recommend experimenting with tweening and random numbers to make that sort of wiggly effect

[snow bear]

Each model have different amount of parts

[paper flume]

could you try modelling & texturing them in blender so you can get a single mesh?

it would make your scripting-life a hell of a lot easier

[snow bear]

what about the mutations

I think I will just have to animate them myself, thanks for the help
I have a sheet all I got to do is add the animation and it does it, but just didnt want to do that because I thought it would be eaiser to automate it
["Turtle"] = {
Price = "$1500000000",
CashPerSec = "80000/s",
Rarity = "Common",
MutationpartsColor1 = {1,2,4,6,7},
MutationpartsColor2 = {3,5},
RunningAnimationId = "rbxassetid://125631578634562",
JumpID = "rbxassetid://129193464313844",
AiVoice = "rbxassetid://128653645230866",
JumpSpeed = 1,
RunSpeed = 0.5
},
["Frog"] = {
Price = "$1500000000",
CashPerSec = "80000/s",
Rarity = "Common",
MutationpartsColor1 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,10,7,9},
MutationpartsColor2 = {11,12,13,8},
RunningAnimationId = "rbxassetid://125909466571873",
JumpID = "rbxassetid://101033784818318",

}

you could try my other suggestion: #1409783859305775184 message
though it'll be way less controlled and may give off unexpected results, it'll be nowhere close to how "steal a fish" looks like but should be pretty automated

[snow bear]

@paper flume Actually there is one more thing I want to ask, I have a script that already autmocially makes them bounce but it does it by cframe which prevenets it me from using moveto

you got any ideas around that?

[paper flume]

?? i never knew that prevented .moveto but the more you know i guess 😭
uh, you could try tweening it from part A (the start of the line) to part B (end of the line)?

[snow bear]

did not work

[snow bear]

What if I instead make a animation for each amount of parts would that work?

[paper flume]

could you send over your snippet?

[snow bear]

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local model = script.Parent
local hrp = model:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Goal = script.Parent.Goal
local Bought = script.Parent.Bought

local bounceHeight = 5
local bounceTime = 0.4
local moveTime = 1

local function moveAndBounce(targetPos)
local startPos = hrp.Position
local endPos = targetPos

local t = 0
while (hrp.Position - endPos).Magnitude > 1 and Bought.Value == false do
    
    t = math.clamp(t + 0.03, 0, 1)
    local newPos = startPos:Lerp(endPos, t)

    local bounceOffset = math.sin(t * math.pi * 2) * bounceHeight
    hrp.Position = Vector3.new(newPos.X, newPos.Y + bounceOffset, newPos.Z)
    wait(0.03)
end

end

Goal.Changed:Connect(function()
coroutine.wrap(function()
moveAndBounce(Goal.Value.Position)
end)()
end)

[paper flume]

yes, but to an extent.

say for instance you make an R6 animation, that'll have 6 limbs, so six individual parts
now if you run that on a rig that has 7 limbs, it wont animate the 7th limb. only the first 6.

so say you have fish1

fish1:
part1
part2
part3

and then

fish2:
part1
part2
part3
part4

if you run fish1's animation on fish2 it'll only animate 1, 2, & 3.

you also need to make sure the part names are the exact same!

[snow bear]

I did this but Since the parts are in different locations they rotate werid

[paper flume]

? perhaps you didnt rig them right

[snow bear]

I made him have 45 parts to make it rotate any model

I rig them all to the humanoidrootpart

Is that why

@paper flume

Should I rig them to each other?

[paper flume]

perhaps make an animation where you rotate a centered part (not humanoid root part) that has welds to all other parts?

that way you could have it work on any model

[snow bear]

@paper turret I figure it out, I first wait 0.5 seconds for the game to set the mutation colors then I union the model into one part and use the animation which has one part with the same name so it plays it and since it is the whole part it does not mess up the rotation

[paper flume]

that's a great way to handle it, i honestly forgot unions even existed 😭
