Trying to make Idle / Walking / Running animations for an entity, wont work.

[twilit herald]

you need an initial_state in your animation controller, also from what I see you are trying to make animation transitions, but they are not done that way

@strange cairn I'm going to correct that part for you, it's not very difficult to understand.

[strange cairn]

yeah i really suck at animation controllers tbh

[strange cairn]

thanks

[strange cairn]

thanks alot, I'll test it right now and lyk if it works

[twilit herald]

Although I think adding a value to query.modified_move_speed doesn't work well, I think I tried it once and it didn't work, why the speed change?

[strange cairn]

Basically I wana make it so it can walk normally but when its chasing an entity it will do the run animation

[twilit herald]

Ok to do that there is a more reliable way. but try to try that

[strange cairn]

Yo btw it works but the static / idle animation isnt playing

Thats the only anim that wont play, the running and walking anims play, is there a problem with it or.. idk

[twilit herald]

If it doesn't work very well like that, I'll write you one that works without fail.

[strange cairn]

Alright thanks, I really hope this works ive been trying for so long now 😭

[twilit herald]

there correct some mistakes made in this message, try to test that while

[strange cairn]

yea il test rq

}
}
}
OK, that should work

[strange cairn]

it sort of works the main problem is the idle animation (static) isnt playing at all, when its still itll just play the base walking animation instead

is there something wrong with my entity's code possibly?

[twilit herald]

did you try this?

[strange cairn]

yeah i just tried that

same thing happens idk its weird

[twilit herald]

ah I saw it, yes there is an error in your entity, in the script just leave the animation controller

[strange cairn]

this?

[twilit herald]

oh

xd

[strange cairn]

I changed that a bit ago ngl

[twilit herald]

yes

[strange cairn]

I saw it in another post and I saw mine was incorrect

lol

the only animation that isnt playing is the idle one (the 'static' one) which is weird

[twilit herald]

It's really not very difficult, something must be interfering, there is no command block executing the animation

[strange cairn]

nah theres no command blocks involved, the one I placed in the video was to keep it still to see if the idle anim played

[strange cairn]

and theyre all named correctly too

[twilit herald]

I was wrong in a word and I changed it

[strange cairn]

oh which one was it

[twilit herald]

.

move==> static

XD

[strange cairn]

its still only doing this 😭

[twilit herald]

it's not possible

[strange cairn]

idk

im using what u sent

and theres the entity file too.. idk whats wrong'

[twilit herald]

you didn't change it

"format_version": "1.10.0",

}
]
}
}
}
}
}

That's how it has to be, also add blend transition so it's not a rough change

[strange cairn]

did I not? idk leme use that rq

@twilit herald YES it works but also one thing do you think you could make another version with the same format as before without the !has_target things, because I wanted to make another entity that I can control when it walks slowly, so I can give it speed to make it play the sprint animation and I can give it slowness to make it walk slowly (basically using the ground_speed stuff) I hope thats not too much to ask and thank you alot 🙏 👍 🔥

I hope im not being a pain lol

[twilit herald]

I'm not sure it works but oh well

[strange cairn]

its worth a shot

[strange cairn]

alr ima give it a shot rq

thanks alot for the help btw

[strange cairn]

K so this works but I feel like something with the speed count is different, it only plays the walking animation if i give it like ALOT of slowness (like slowness 4) other than that it works Imma try to change up the numbers a bit to see if i can change this

[twilit herald]

Of course, like I told you, that's not very precise, try it, I gave up on that.

[strange cairn]

ooo i got an idea maybe

so since I wanted to be able to choose when to make it slow and when to make it fast

[strange cairn]

would has_tag work?

idk how id use has_tag in an animation controller tho tbh

[twilit herald]

you can use properties, mark_variant, variant

I really don't know what system you use to change speeds.

}

}
}
}
}
}

tried to change it so I give it a sprinting tag

but it only plays the idle anim lol

did i do something wrong ☠️

[strange cairn]

idk, i dont use that stuff often I like to do entity code in functions

[twilit herald]

I see, the options are limited

[strange cairn]

is this wrong btw

[twilit herald]

that is used in blocks and items

[strange cairn]

oh u cant use tags in animation controllers?

[near cloak]

Im sure you know but

If there’s something tag related use a score instead

That could work

[strange cairn]

how would I change this to work with a score instead?

[twilit herald]

You can try it, but in the description it says that it is only used in blocks, and I think it is also used in items

[strange cairn]

do you know how I would?

[twilit herald]

scores do not sync well with the resource pack

[near cloak]

Oh

[strange cairn]

o

well how would I make it so that the entity starts sprinting when I want it to then

[twilit herald]

query.scoreboard('example')==0

[near cloak]

Yeah like that

[strange cairn]

K i'll try that

[near cloak]

If heroic has some type of detect add-on stuff going then when the entity has 1 on the detectors sprinting scoreboard set 1 to yours

[near cloak]

You seem to be quite experienced in entitys, so if you can i have a request

[strange cairn]

this doesnt work btw

[near cloak]

I think your good but see what spartan says

[strange cairn]

yeah thats what ive tried to do but it doesnt work

i used scoreboards like he sent

[near cloak]

Oof

[twilit herald]

but it doesn't work with the resource pack, if you want it to work you need to use this command
scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar example

[near cloak]

Yuh

Also you need a for the score to go up in game

[strange cairn]

aactually

i just thought of something

[twilit herald]

really the easiest way is to use mark variant

[round drift]

I just thought of a way I can do it (btw same person speaking here)

See I wanted the entity to spawn in and slowly walk towards the player for a good 10 seconds like menacingly, so i ma just make a 10 sec animation that plays for that instead

Anyways @twilit herald Thanks alot for the help with the anim controller, Ima be using that cuz it works 👍

[twilit herald]

ahh.. if you want to do that there is a better way to do it using "query.get_nearby_entities(3, 'minecraft:player')"

[round drift]

nah it should work well

[twilit herald]

3= distance
