I want my 3d model to breathe. I have a script inside the model. (Should this be a local script?)
I made a looping animation. It has humanoid, and inside the humanoid, I have an animation controller and an animator.
The creature has a folder called Animations where I have stored the animation.
I can't get it to run.
I have tried so many different ways from multiple youtube tutorials to DevCorner instructions to chatGPT and even Bing. None of them are working.
It shouldn't be this difficult. Maybe it's just not showing when I test play, but it will in game? I don't know...
If anyone could help, I would be most appreciative! Thanks

I am not really good at Lua first of all but i think this might help you a little and also sorry for my bad english.

About running an animation, it can be played through localscript or a script (edited* for yourself)
And are your code look like this?

local Animation = ReplicatedStorage.BreathingAnimation -- Animation Path

Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation):Play() -- < Dont forget the :Play()

if you are using

local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", ...PATH...); Animation.AnimationId = "...'

then maybe you should add wait() if you are trying to debug in the studio (also task.wait() is recommended)

my script has looked many different ways, I have tried many different things. If it ever gives an error, I have been able to fix that, so it gives no errors in the output.
Right now, it looks like this:

local animation = script:WaitForChild("TuskatBreathing")
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local breathe = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
breathe.Play()
breathe.Looped = true

#

I have duplicated the animation from the Animations folder, and dropped it into this script to make this version work, but it isn't working either

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

Correct me if i am wrong

#

but i think .Play() should've been :Play()?

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

! That sounds right

#

I fixed that, but it doesn't play it.

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

also try to change the humanoid.Animator to humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)?

#

i am not sure but im trying to resolve the problem

#

local breathe = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

#

this one

#

into

local breathe = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:14 PM

#

will do, thank you for the effort! sec

#

oh, I was told not to load animation from humanoid, because that was deprecated... but idk what the new way to do it is. I will go back to that way and see if it works

#

no, not working that way either

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

you're right Animator:LoadAnimation is not the problem

#

i can't really figured out why and how but i am sure you already put the animationid and stuff

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:26 PM

#

I haven't set that in the script this round, but it is in the script.animation file. I will put it into the script again also

#

I put that line in there too, no luck.
I tried setting "animation.AnimationID " and then I tried " breathe.AnimationID " to the rbxassetid number

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:31 PM

#

you dont have to actually duplicate the animation am guessing

#

just one Animation file

#

maybe try to put it on replicatedstorage so its organized?

#

anyways it still didnt play?

#

i am picturing

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

nothing has played yet.

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

you put the animation inside localscript which is at character right?

#

so Script>TheAnimation file

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:33 PM

#

character.localscript.animation
It is also at character.Animations.animation from a previous attempt

#

I have put this file everywhere by now, lol

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:41 PM

#

i've tested it

#

your code run fine

#

I tested it on studio

repeat task.wait() until script:IsDescendantOf(workspace)

local anim = script.Animation

local track = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(anim)

track:Play()

track.Looped = true

#

LocalPlayer.Character.LocalScript.Animation

#

maybe that's because of the animation that's not matched with the Rig Type?

#

for example you made for R15 and your rig is R6

#

please let me know the update as it will make my day a bit better 😄

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

thank you for testing! I did make the animation using the rig it is on.

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

alright so its not about the difference of the rig type ...

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

Maybe I should re-create the animation, re-publish it and try it again?

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

wait you gonna re create the animation whole again? thats gonna take time

#

i have no idea left on my brain other than the rig type x.x

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

Sort of. I will load the previous animation, edit it slightly, and republish it. I'm not sure what else to try at this point

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:54 PM

#

and also i think i just figured that my R6 animation is successfully played on my R15 Rig Type 💀

upbeat hinge May 17, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

my model got broken somehow. Trying to recreate the animation - I can't click on any parts. It still says it's rigged though, so Im not sure why I can't move anything in it

fringe robin May 17, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

wait are you trying to play the animation for npc?

upbeat hinge May 18, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

yes

fringe robin May 18, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

ok so i tested on studio again and turned out

#

for Rig or Npc the animation need to match the Rig i tested on 2 different npc and only with matching Rig played the animation

#

and also track.Looped for Npc is somehow not working

#

so i used

while task.wait() do
  track:Play()
end

#

and last but not least i think your problem is at the LocalScript

#

try to change LocalScript into Script

#

as i say in the first place that you can play both in script and localscript is for yourself as no need to place the track:play() on the server to make everyone see it

upbeat hinge May 18, 2023, 12:23 AM

#

kk, I put it into a normal script, not a local. I also changed breathe:Play() into the while loop you just mentioned.

#

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local breathe = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://13360710031"
while task.wait() do
    breathe:Play() 
    breathe.Looped = true
end

#

and I put the whole thing into a new copy of the same model that I can animate.. it still isn't working 😅

fringe robin May 18, 2023, 12:41 AM

#

is it working?

upbeat hinge May 18, 2023, 12:41 AM

#

it's twitching.

#

Maybe it is playing it super fast

fringe robin May 18, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

so it play now right?

#

thats and improvement

upbeat hinge May 18, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

🥳

fringe robin May 18, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

try this

while task.wait() do
  breathe:Play()
  breathe.Stopped:Wait()
end

#

i think if you already set the animation to Loop you don't actually need the Loop method

#

but let's just try the above first?

upbeat hinge May 18, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

it works!

fringe robin May 18, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

im glad :DDDD

upbeat hinge May 18, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

thank you so much!!
