making animations is bs

[vapid quail]

im gonna quit cuz of this, i followed every tutorial saying to copy the animate script, put it into startercharacterscripts, then change the animation id, and it doesnt work

[craggy ivy]

Send the script

[vapid quail]

its the basic animate script you have on your character, the tutorial only said to change the animationID (which i did) and it worked for them but not me

[stiff vigil]

sometimes its a better idea to make it yourself, it sounds hard but its worth it in the end. Do you know how to play animations?

Also make sure humanoid has an animator instance\

Do you have a humanoid and animator in your character

[craggy ivy]

Wait did you disable the default animate script

[vapid quail]

how do you even do that

[craggy ivy]

You can delete it via a local script

[vapid quail]

i copied the animate script

and changed the ids but the ids are the same when i start the game in my character

[craggy ivy]

Do you have 2 Animate scripts when you start the game?

[stiff vigil]

hey dude

i have something that is unknown but probably fixes it

in the animate script, in startercharacterscripts

it should contain values

those values have the animation ids of each animations

you can overwrite them with your own animationids

[craggy ivy]

I think that is what he was doing

if i understood correct

[vapid quail]

yes

[stiff vigil]

you were doing that?

[vapid quail]

yeah and it doesnt work

[stiff vigil]

so right now its the default animation

[craggy ivy]

So do you have 2 animate scripts when you start the game?

[vapid quail]

no

[stiff vigil]

could his be deleted?

[vapid pecan]

It automatically replaces the other 1

[craggy ivy]

Dang

[vapid quail]

also when i manually replace it ingame it works

[vapid pecan]

Hmm did you name it right?

[vapid quail]

the script?

[vapid pecan]

Ye

[vapid quail]

its named Animate

also when i type something into the script then check it on my player its actually changed

but not the ids thats in the values

[vapid pecan]

Could you send ur anim ids in explorer and script?

[vapid quail]

well in the script i pasted the ids

the id is in the script but if you check the value it is still the default

idk if theres a way to disable the default animations or not

[craggy ivy]

You need to change the values inside the explorer im pretty sure

[stiff vigil]

why 3 idle animations?

[vapid quail]

thats how it is i just replaced all 3

[stiff vigil]

aalright my bad

but you have to replace the values inside of animate

not the script, quite literally the children of animate

i did that wiht a startercharacter,

try copy pasting the script in startercharacter and changing the values

the children

[vapid quail]

i did

i even used a newer tutorial so it couldnt have been outdated

[vapid pecan]

You gotta change the anim values

Not the script

[vapid quail]

i did and it still didnt work

[stiff vigil]

the values right?

not inside the script

wait ill show an example if mine works

[vapid quail]

i did it with script and with value, no script and value, and script and value

[vapid pecan]

Skill issue

[broken sigil]

that's inefficient

just name a script "Animate" and it auto replaces

[tribal magnet]

I have this problem too

This don’t go

[craggy ivy]

Yeah Dani just told me

[tribal magnet]

I hate it

[broken sigil]

bro I just told u PLEASE take screenshots and send them thru the PC app

[tribal magnet]

Ok

[broken sigil]

the phone camera makes it unreadable

[tribal magnet]

My pc is installing

My pc is bad bro

2 minutes to install

Downloading

now im on pc

here

@broken sigil

[broken sigil]

nice that's what I'm talking about lol

okay so

open the animate script

like the arrow

[vapid pecan]

Wtf is this script

[broken sigil]

default Roblox animation script

[broken sigil]

er this one is

[vapid pecan]

No the walk one

[broken sigil]

ya idk

[tribal magnet]

what do you mean by arrow, what arrow

[tribal magnet]

im new on studio

this arrow

sorry

[broken sigil]

open that then ss

[vapid pecan]

Why tf do you have the for hire role if u can't do shit

[broken sigil]

yeah that's actually a good point

[tribal magnet]

i need go on walk ?

[broken sigil]

if ur new to studio why are you for hire

[tribal magnet]

run*

[broken sigil]

take a screenshot

[tribal magnet]

ok

[stiff vigil]

his first language isnt english, might be a reason why

[tribal magnet]

yeah, im using tradutor now 🙁

[tribal magnet]

@broken sigil

[broken sigil]

ok now open walk as well

and there is an animation instance inside of both walk and run

set both to the same id

[tribal magnet]

im dumb

[broken sigil]

you can be paid to do work

[tribal magnet]

ok

[broken sigil]

also don't say that you're twelve you might get banned

from discord

[tribal magnet]

ok

[vapid pecan]

This should be rbxassetid://

[broken sigil]

it auto fills that

he just needs to put the id

[stiff vigil]

he used my code i forgot how you used it lol

[vapid pecan]

I mean he has rbx://

[stiff vigil]

so i said rbx:// whaterver bla bla

[broken sigil]

oh

[broken sigil]

OH

[tribal magnet]

I dont have anim now

[broken sigil]

IN THE CODE WHOOPS

[stiff vigil]

show us the output

the thing under

[broken sigil]

where'd u put the id

take a screenshot

[tribal magnet]

ok

[tribal magnet]

ok

[stiff vigil]

what does this say

[stiff vigil]

do rbxassetid://

instead of rbx://

[tribal magnet]

ok

[broken sigil]

did u put it for both walk and run

[stiff vigil]

swimidle isnt a table

thats also why

its missing the table thingys

[tribal magnet]

i dont have walk here

[broken sigil]

maybe scroll down idk

[vapid pecan]

Yeah this is a silent killer in ur script

[tribal magnet]

ok

[vapid pecan]

Could you show ur whole animate script ?

[broken sigil]

just Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C

then paste it in here

[tribal magnet]

ok

[craggy cairn]

** You are now Level 4! **

[tribal magnet]

ok

thats too big

[vapid pecan]

Also delete ur stuff and do what he does exactly and also make sure ur game rig r15/r6 is the same as ur anim rig https://youtu.be/xNjVrK7UXiQ?si=iT905IXR9M7cNISa

[tribal magnet]

my game in avatar settings is in r6

[vapid quail]

i also followed this exact tutorial and it didnt work

[vapid pecan]

You forgot this

Typo at swim = {

I mean in ur script

The { is not there

Also disable ur walk script

Because it might be fighting with this one

[tribal magnet]

i already delete walkanim

localscript

[stiff vigil]

press the red thing

[tribal magnet]

ok

[stiff vigil]

send screenshot now

[stiff vigil]

press the red square

top left

[tribal magnet]

ok

[stiff vigil]

then go to the animate script

[tribal magnet]

ok

and now

[stiff vigil]

here do swim = {

[tribal magnet]

ok

[stiff vigil]

now?

[vapid pecan]

That's just what I told him ahh

[stiff vigil]

yeah im not sure he understood..

[tribal magnet]

sorry guys

but just go with normal roblox anim now

[vapid pecan]

Bro just re copy ur script

From game

And only change the anim values

In explorer

[tribal magnet]

ok

look, but just go normal anim

[vapid pecan]

I'm gonna kill myself

[tribal magnet]

lol me tooo

too*

im dumb aahh

[vapid pecan]

WHY ARE YOU CHANGING THE FROGGING SCRIPT WHEN I TOLD YOU TO CHANGE THE ANIM VALUES IN THE EXPLORER. THE ANIM VALUES NOT THE IDS IN THE SCRIPT

[tribal magnet]

i already make in the esxplorer bro

i give up, im so dumb

[vapid quail]

guys what about me 😭

[tribal magnet]

I hate this animate script too

[craggy ivy]

If you both are struggling with changing the default script. Then make your own script 👍

[vapid quail]

yknow i dont think it matters for me anymore cuz my game will morph you anyway

ill give the morphs anims

[stiff vigil]

thats what i did and god i learned so much more from all that hard work

the real scripting is the trial and errors you get from modifying code

for some reason local scripts wouldnt work however so i had to use a serverscript to play animations

[craggy ivy]

Maybe the real scripting was the trials and errors we made along the way ✌️ 🥹

[vapid pecan]

Huh? You messed something up then.

If u mean player anims

[stiff vigil]

im not sure what, i usually did animationtrack:play() however it never happened unless a serverscript

yeah

[vapid pecan]

Maybe ur script was in the wrong location

[vapid pecan]

Ig

Or u used an anim from replicated storage or somewhere else which local scripts can't acces

[stiff vigil]

not necessarily, i created new animation instances and changed the ids from the script

[vapid pecan]

Hmm how does ur script look?

Btw Imo it's better using an already existing anim instance with the set name and id

[stiff vigil]

its an asymmetrical game i paused until i was better at scripting, a little passion project i guess

but ill show

[vapid pecan]

Also I'm not sure if u can make instances in a local script

[stiff vigil]

ill paste the script if necessary]

but basically i took inspiration from the animate script and made my own

with an also working sprint modus with my sprint functio

[vapid pecan]

That would be nice

[vapid pecan]

Do u get any errors if u make it a local script?

[stiff vigil]

no, however it just doesnt work

yeah i just tested it out

doesnt play animations

[vapid pecan]

Hmm shouldn't u just check for player's speed?

[stiff vigil]

i receive remote events from the client wether or not the player is sprinting or not, then again neither idle or walk animations play

[vapid pecan]

Also why do u use on server end and on server event?

I mean It's fine in a normal script but in a local it wouldn't work

[stiff vigil]

i just changed it after seeing but it also doesnt work

then again thats only for the sprint function

idle also doesnt work so

[broken sigil]

ServerStorage*

[stiff vigil]

i personally store values in serverstorage that contain animation ids i need for reference

not sure if its a good idea bit

but

[vapid pecan]

Ye mb

[broken sigil]

hwtas with the command line in game

lol

[stiff vigil]

hwtas?

[broken sigil]

whats

[stiff vigil]

thats a guy in this server

oh i find it cool

[vapid pecan]

U literally got ur answer

[stiff vigil]

for reference

i dont actually use them

i just copy their ids

and paste them in the script

there is no other purpose for them other than that

[vapid pecan]

[broken sigil]

but like

how do :(

[stiff vigil]

i use cmdr

and i watched a tutorial to set it up

[broken sigil]

oh ok that's useful

[stiff vigil]

i originally found it from a guy making a binding of isaac roguelike game and found it really awesome so i installed it

[broken sigil]

I have an asym but there's a secret room with two floating bricks to transform to surv/killer

so that's inefficient

[stiff vigil]

you can also use iris for debugging

[broken sigil]

I have the same use case lol

[stiff vigil]

you can design your own commands, what i do is just change the player character

[stiff vigil]

and if i wanna make a new type like letting the cmdr auto finish my words for me like it does in players i reference back to how they wrote it

i have the same kind of hitbox mechanism

lol

but thats also cool

[broken sigil]

his whole thing is he can disguise as any living survivor

but after being around them for a bit he can summon the mech

which has 0.8 windup but like 32 m1 damage

[vapid pecan]

I mean I can't really help with ir script, it's kinda messy for me and I don't get it why ur using humanoid.movedirection.magnitude I don't even know what that is tbh I'd just check for speed

[stiff vigil]

the animate script locally uses it too to detect if the humanoid is movin

if the magnitude > 0.1 it automatically means the humanoid is moving, magnitude is read only and tells you technically the direction and how they are moving

[vapid pecan]

Also playing the idle track at the beginning doesn't actually affect anything cuz of heartbeat function

[stiff vigil]

it does

it makes sure you start with idle

then it detects if the player is moving else just play idle again

then again that isnt the problem, the local script just doesnt play the animations at all no matter what

there is nothing overwritten because the character stays in its original post no matter what

[vapid pecan]

I'ma be honest this looks like ai slop code

[stiff vigil]

what are you on about dude

this is the exact same logic used by the roblox developers

[vapid pecan]

I wouldn't write a code like this ever

[stiff vigil]

the problem doesnt need fixing because i already have a solution, use a server sided script

then again there is no way you could be serious because this is the logic the default roblox animate uses, the one written by roblox developers

[vapid pecan]

Maybe the problem is that u use a custom character not the right way

[stiff vigil]

it doesnt matter anyway, im using a server script because it works

[vapid pecan]

Anyways I'ma fo to sleep

go*
