animation scripting help

[astral hollow]

like in blade ball when you switch weapons you have different animations(sword placements/waist vs back) how does that work?

Do I make an attribute "skins" and getattributechangedsignal I make the sword model a child of player character? and I replcae the default walking anim with the sword animation? same with the idle? like for example the sword is behind my back

[astral hollow]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
wait(3)
char.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://127247119036316"
end)
end)

i got this from some dev forum but someone said i have to do this on the client not on the server. idk why

[maiden sedge]

char.animate can only be used in local scripts

[astral hollow]

ok but would players be able to exploit this? like the client could change the attribute name client sided and the local script would read off that to change the animation? or it doesnt work that way? im kind of confused on these

[astral hollow]

also is the visual only client sided? so other people wont see it?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)

    char.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://127247119036316"
end)

end)
this works on a server script

[maiden sedge]

exploiters could change attributes and there animations and all but it wouldnt impact the game stuff like damage and hit detection, server should never trust animation with gameplay logic.

[astral hollow]

my game is trusting an attribute for changing skins

like player attributes

[maiden sedge]

client can read attributes but cant change it unless its on server

[astral hollow]

alr thats good

[astral hollow]

for the animate thing ive heard its changed on server. if changed locally only the client will see the animations

[maiden sedge]

everyone will still see the animation

only manually played aniamtion like humanid:Animator:LoadAnimation on local scripts make it visible only to client

humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation

is what i meant
