Script doesnt load correct animation using findfirst child and boolvalue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

i want the uppercut animation to play if the combo is 4 and the character has a boolvalue named uppercut but it doesnt work like this

if combo == 1 then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a1)
	elseif combo == 2 then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a2)
	elseif combo == 3 then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a3)
	elseif combo == 4 and character:FindFirstChild("uppercut", true) then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.uppercut)
	else
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a4)
	end
#2

the else in the script apply for the first if then statement so probably this would work

    if combo == 1 then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a1)
	elseif combo == 2 then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a2)
	elseif combo == 3 then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a3)
	elseif combo == 4 and character:FindFirstChild("uppercut", true) then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.uppercut)
	elseif combo == 4 and not character:FindFirstChild("uppercut") then
		animation = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.a4)
	end
#3

it still doesnt work it plays a1 trough a3 then its still a4 instead of uppercut

#4

ok so, can you show me the full script?

#6

Did you check that uppercut is a descendant of the player character? Also recently, sometimes animations doesn’t play somehow, as far as i know that’s roblox studio bugs.

#7

the animation is in a folder in replicated storage

#8

no i meant this character:FindFirstChild("uppercut"), the a4 animation of yours plays which means the script couldn’t find character:FindFirstChild("uppercut") in the character

#9

yes, the uppercut exists in the character
