Print outputs but the animation doesnt play

[fresh flicker]

is this in a local script or script?

[snow hound]

** You are now Level 2! **

[fresh flicker]

also, make sure everything is updated when the player dies/respawns

[silk veldt]

local, it also def updates its in starter pack

[faint blaze]

any errors

? ???

like animation isnt like able to be accessed

or sum shi

[silk veldt]

none, everything works the animation doesnt play, ive checked that the id is correct, im positive its owned by me, and so is the game, every common issue has been checked

im quite confused

[mint crypt]

you are not suppose to create a secondary animator

what the hell

just wait for the animator

only one of them will work

[silk veldt]

only if it wasnt found, i saw smt on the forum sugesting it 😄

[mint crypt]

no

you are supposed to wait it

it will always be there

[faint blaze]

oh wait

i just noticed

[mint crypt]

it's default roblox

[faint blaze]

hes finding for the animator without waiting

eureka!

[mint crypt]

🥀

[faint blaze]

:WaitForChild() or some shi idk

[silk veldt]

animation.Parent prints

[silk veldt]

as Animator

[mint crypt]

local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://136075368851428"
local track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    if not track.IsPlaying then 
        track:Play() 
        print("Animation playing")
    end 

end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function() 
    if track.IsPlaying then 
        track:Stop() 
    end
end)

it aint that deep

[silk veldt]

but gimmie 1 sec ill add that change! Thanks! i dont do much with animations, ive used em once on a veryyy simple project, and that was before you needed an animator and could just load it to the humanoid

[mint crypt]

ye now animator it's better that way

since animator doesn't need a humanoid

it can be any object

[silk veldt]

yeah lowkey seems awesome for animating NPCs n such

[mint crypt]

ye

[silk veldt]

still dont play

🙏

okay so someone made the keyframe sequence for me, i paid him for a couple animations, i then opened those animations in the animation editor, and published them to roblox, that is where i go my animationID, did i get somethign wrong? @mint crypt

[mint crypt]

print when .Activated gets call

also

what is the context here

local script or serve script?

actually local player yeah

is this a tool script?

[silk veldt]

the "Animation Playing" goes to the output

yeah

[mint crypt]

then it's animation issue

maybe weight is too low

set the weight higher

[silk veldt]

ive never messed with weight, the forum says its for merging 2 animations? How would i use it in t his context?

[mint crypt]

you know it's great to learn how to use the documentation to your advantage

as a scripter

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/AnimationTrack#Play

:Play(fadeTime, weight, speed)

[silk veldt]

i upped it to 2 and its doin the same thing

such a basic ass system for this many issues

[mint crypt]

make it 1000

[silk veldt]

word

same thing

[mint crypt]

these issues usually caused by systems not being designed to work gracefully with each other

[mint crypt]

get the playing animations

animator:GetPlayingAnimations()

and print it

[silk veldt]

GetPlayingAnimations is not a valid member of Animator "Workspace.toxicme54e.Humanoid.Animator"

[mint crypt]

GetPlayingAnimationTracks or whatever we dont keep a list of all the api in our head

[silk veldt]

lemme give this a name rq

i think its that 3rd index

[silk veldt]

yeah it says its playing

[mint crypt]

make the weight 1000000

I know it sounds stupid

but trust

[silk veldt]

wait

is toolNoneAnim

overwriting this

[mint crypt]

I think it is

[silk veldt]

w the default roblox hold animation

[mint crypt]

still 1000 should've worked

[silk veldt]

weight = math.huge

[mint crypt]

that wont work

lol

[silk veldt]

ik im playing dw

😭

[mint crypt]

[silk veldt]

did 100k n nun

lemme set the priority to action4 rq

[mint crypt]

don't tell me priority was the issue 🥀

[silk veldt]

nah still the same at action4

[mint crypt]

stop all animations before playing that one

I seriously think the animation is just empty

replace it with walk or smt

[silk veldt]

alr 1 sec

[silk veldt]

bruh thats working wtf? Ill fuck around w saving the animation in a sec

i saved it 3 dif times

bc i felt unsure too

[mint crypt]

I hate to say I told you

is the animation r6 or r15

[silk veldt]

r6, i force r6 in the avatar settings

[mint crypt]

but you rcharacter is clearly r15

[silk veldt]

does the avatar not change in-studio?

[mint crypt]

It does you need to publish the game

also avatar settings are wonky af

[silk veldt]

can i force r6 w a script?

[mint crypt]

it allows you to use r6 on r15 characters

[mint crypt]

yeah but inconvinient

do it avatar settings

[mint crypt]

it's a lot of code

@silk veldt

[silk veldt]

bruh i didnt read carefully enough

the setting i had set to r6 only was animations

[mint crypt]

yep

pretty confusing

anyways I think this will work

you're welcome

[silk veldt]

@mint crypt my man i appriciate you, il lremember this when i work with animations in the future! I appriciate you helping light my path towards learning and hopefully someday success!

i wish you the best of luck

[mint crypt]

you too man

[faint blaze]

is the animation r6 or r15..

😭

oh wait

nvm

it was already fixed

LOL
