Humanoid:MoveTo not playing animations when moving

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    Have a character walk to a point with an animation
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The character just hovers over to the point
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I haven’t found any solutions to try

script im using for the animation

local char = script.Parent
local human = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local unloaded = Instance.new("Animation", char)
unloaded.Name = "walk"
unloaded.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://14040782341"
local anim = human.Animator:LoadAnimation(unloaded)
human.Running:Connect(function(s)
	if s > 0 then
		if not anim.IsPlaying then
			anim:Play()
		end
	else
		if anim.IsPlaying then
			anim:Stop()
		end
	end
end)

script im using to move the character

local char = game.Workspace.rusticbot
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	char.Humanoid:MoveTo(script.Parent.Parent.Position)
end)

ive tested the animation as a player character (startercharacter whatever) and it works fine

Pair these scripts together and you should use a remote event to allow the character to move and play the animation at the same time. should look something like this

local animation = animationTrack

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
       local animation2 = dummy:LoadAnimation(animation)
       local dummy = workspace.Dummy
       
       animation2:Play()
       dummy.Humanoid:MoveTo(path)
       
       -- whatever next, stop, idk up to u
end)

instead of making an animation script yourself you can copy your character’s animate script, insert it in the dummy, and replace the walking animation id with yours.

why would i need a remote event for this?

#5

you’re using a button to make the character move. (You don’t have to its just my recommended way) and why are you using your own character to play the animation instead of the rusticbot.

local char = script.Parent -- your character
local human = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

local char = game.Workspace.rusticbot -- not your character

im not entirely sure what you mean by this, but the script is in the rusticbot

look what i did and it could probably help you out next time you have a problem like this again. (use your animation ID for the walk)

to restart its position, you can make a start point and when the animation is done, change the CFrame of the humanoid root part back to the starting point.
