Im making an attacking script that plays the animations when the current combo is at a specific number, Both combo 1 and 3 work fine but 2 resets itself before the animation gets time to play

Heres the code (cant give the whole thing because its more than 2000 characteres) :

invest in a Finite State Machine please

#

Whats the value of M2Begin

opaque bane invest in a Finite State Machine please

No clue what this is

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 9:24 AM

#

Its a system which manages states

#

Search on youtube

opaque bane Whats the value of M2Begin

its a time position for the animation in a modual

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 9:27 AM

#

Send the module for data

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 9:27 AM

#

the thing is that the animation DOES attempt to play but its canceled for some reason

#

hold on

Unarmed = {
WeaponName = "Empty",
WeaponType = "Light",
BaseDamage = 5,
StunTime = 1,

    AnimationSet = game.ServerStorage.Animations.Combat.Basic.Unarmed,

@jaunty galleon

#

you really should make this using finite state machines

#

Its way harder to debug when its hard coded

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:08 AM

#

thats why im making it like this

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:09 AM

#

jaunty galleon thats why im making it like this

?

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:09 AM

#

jaunty galleon Im making an attacking script that plays the animations when the current combo i...

This is hard coded

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:10 AM

#

im not sure how to explain it

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:10 AM

#

Can you show a video of the error?

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:10 AM

#

hold on im doing liek to things at once 😭

#

yea give me a few minutes

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:11 AM

#

kk

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:15 AM

#

its hard to notice but when the combo value hits 2 the animation DOES play but it gets ended before anything can really happen

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:17 AM

#

Have you checked the whole animation track?

#

Why are you using one track for 3 animations btw

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:18 AM

#

yeah the events are placed where they should be and the animation isnt broken

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:19 AM

#

opaque bane Why are you using one track for 3 animations btw

i wanted to see if i could use one animation set so i wouldnt have to keep changing every single animation when i wanted to make edits

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:20 AM

#

.-.

#

okay

#

wait

#

where is the script located

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:22 AM

#

?

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:22 AM

#

in the character i think

#

yah

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:24 AM

#

How new are you to scripting

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:24 AM

#

that is

#

a question

#

ive been using this dreaded software for a few years but im still not good at it

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:25 AM

#

The script is replicated on every character wasting alot of memory and alot of problems could arise

#

The script should be located in the serverscript service

#

one script that talks to the client via remotevents

#

The User Input is taking through clientside and sent to the server

#

Do you know what OOP is or modular style of coding?

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:26 AM

#

i dont think so

#

ill deal with all those issues later i just need to fix this dang attack script so i can get on with other things

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:28 AM

#

You're building a bad habit

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:28 AM

#

its not like ill keep it like this forever i just need to know the script works before i move it

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:29 AM

#

Try to set the value directly to 6.6

#

to see if the variable is causing the issue or the animation track

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:30 AM

#

nothing changes

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:30 AM

#

So its the animation track

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:30 AM

#

its not the variable or the animation track

#

ive tried

#

something is ending the animation earliy i KNOW it

#

my initial guess is that somehow the attacking atribute isnt being set so the idle ends up playing instead of the attacking animation

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:32 AM

#

jaunty galleon something is ending the animation earliy i KNOW it

Thats why you need an fsm bro

#

ah

#

i might see the problem

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:33 AM

#

?

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:33 AM

#

You never wait for the animation to finish

#

you create a new thread

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:34 AM

#

currentAnimTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal(CurrentWeapon.M3EndMarker):Connect(function()
Character:SetAttribute("Attacking", false)
end)

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:34 AM

#

and instead of waiting for the animation to end you increase it

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:34 AM

#

jaunty galleon currentAnimTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal(CurrentWeapon.M3EndMarker):Connect(funct...

This creates a new thread

#

it doesnt wait

#

btw

#

@jaunty galleon

#

Instead of using markers

#

do this instead

#

or

#

add this below the markerreachedsignal

#

task.wait(M2End-M2Begin)

#

?

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:38 AM

#

uhh

#

that just breaks the other two

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:39 AM

#

Add that after each markerreachedsignal

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:39 AM

#

and the second one stays the same

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:39 AM

#

add them to the others

#

your script extends the combo before the hit is complete

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:40 AM

#

WAIT HOLD ON

#

nvm

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:40 AM

#

where do you end the anim

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:41 AM

#

when the marker reaches the hit end

#

ok

#

so

#

dont be mad at me

#

but

#

you MIGHT have been right about the animation track being the problem

opaque bane Mar 22, 2026, 10:53 AM

#

.-.

#

what happened

jaunty galleon Mar 22, 2026, 10:54 AM

#

apparently for some reason since i was using the first attack end time position it ended the attack early because of this

currentAnimTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal(CurrentWeapon.M1EndMarker):Connect(function()
Character:SetAttribute("CurrentCombo", 2)
Character:SetAttribute("Attacking", false)
end)

#

which i have NO clue how it was effecting the second attack but

#

its fixed now

#

thank you!
