Need help running animations

[jovial rune]

Hey, I could really use some help
I’ve been trying to get animations working with my viewmodel for about a week now and I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

I’m not sure if it’s the way I made the animations (I used Moon Animator 2), or if I’m just not running them correctly in the script. They either don’t play at all or just don’t work how I expect.

I’m pretty new to scripting, so I feel like I’m probably missing something basic. If anyone could help me out or even walk me through how it’s supposed to work, I’d really appreciate it

also wasnt to sure if this was a scripting help issue or studio help issue so i posted in both, Thanks!

Send the script.

And there is no Animator in your ViewModel

[jovial rune]

Well i kind oif deleted all the anim stuff bc i js couldnt figure it out and i wanted to do it from the start but Previously I had the animation from moon animator published to roblox, and like the animator and animator controller like those 2, and i tried doing it based off the roblox like docs or whatever but i could never get it to run the animation so thats sort of why i js deleted it all bc i assumed i js messed up somewhere at the start

Then do it again until you run into a problem and send it in here 👍

[jovial rune]

ok cuz last time it just wouldnt run the Anim, but it would like print right after so it was running the scripts just not the Anim

[carmine knoll]

Yeah. Just send the script once your back to the stage you were before

[jovial rune]

ok idk ive spent the last few hours trying to figure it out and i just havent been able to?

In Line 22 you need to do:

animController = Camera.ViewModel.AnimationController

This is your structure

[carmine knoll]

And I am pretty sure that the :SetPrimaryPartCFrame() method is deprecated. Just do:

viewModel.PrimaryPart.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * SwayFX

Instead

still not getting the animation to play

You do not need a Animator when using a AnimationController

[jovial rune]

is there still something wrong here? still not able to get it to play

[carmine knoll]

Did you make the animation?

[carmine knoll]

And your still using the SetPrimaryPartCFrame method

[jovial rune]

yeah i havent changed that yet i was just tryna get the anim to work first, and yes

[carmine knoll]

Just change it and see if it works then.

[jovial rune]

i changed it and now its doing this

[carmine knoll]

to what did you change it

brb

[jovial rune]

lmao idk what happened

[carmine knoll]

Does it work now?

[carmine knoll]

Looks correct

[jovial rune]

nah its still js not playing anything

[carmine knoll]

Did you set HumanoidRootPart as the PrimaryPart

[jovial rune]

i think its set to the head? not quite sure how to change it

[carmine knoll]

Inside properties click on PrimaryPart and then click on the HumanoidRootPart

The properties of the ViewModel

[jovial rune]

still no animation

[carmine knoll]

Wait

Can I see how AK47 is connected to your view model

or in general see your motor6ds

So I've looked through an older post that I remembered with a somewhat similar problem. In his case it was just an exporting problem of the animation. Maybe reupload your animation again under a new ID. https://discord.com/channels/448986884497211392/1480634973269655884

If it still doesn't work you might also want to check if the animation even "plays" with the .DidLoop event
