Skinmesh Animate problem

[modest garden]

Basically whenever i join it adds a new animate script. Even when i put one in the starterCharacter, I tried making it a local script and normal script.

Idk if i need to like custom script my own animate or if theres a simple fix

Tested on Both RigType R6 and R15. neither work

it js says like torso and stuff missing error, cuz it replaces the one i allready have in it

Every player comes with an animate script if that's what you're wondering.

?

[waxen kite]

what are you trying to achieve again. May you state it clearer?

[modest garden]

custom animations, I allready have a custom animate script in the character, but when i join it replaces it with a new one

[waxen kite]

for custom animations, you would need to do it manually

you would need to check when the humanoid's state changes.

Next you would you need to play that animation then stop it if it the state reverts to normal

what i do is just delete the old animate script when they join the game, keeping the custom one

like ur custom one can be "CustomAnimate" and just find and delete the one that gets created with each character

optimal? no idea, but it has always worked out

[modest garden]

it works, ty

just keep in mind that if the player resets their animte script will too

[waxen kite]

but you will be fine because you detect on when a character is added. And so when a player respawns they code will run again so they will be safe.

for me sometimes it wont run so i thought it would be worth mentioning

the way you're saying this seems like my pc will blow up if i use roblox animate

[dark delta]

Insert the script inside startercharacterscript

It auto-insert in player character and also

Remove the default animate

However you reset the character

Don’t insert in the character because the default will take over
