I am trying to make 2D animations, but the issue is, if I stop moving, the sprite disappears.
Here’s a video:
As you can see, the character disappears when I stop moving.
heres the main part of the code, I’ll add some more details as comments in the code:
Localscript in StarterGui
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
wait() -- if I remove this wait(), the character doesnt disappear, but it's generally glitchy.
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then --Undertale based game
Direction = "N" --If the direction is "N" it means that the player is currently engaged in a scene where no animations are needed
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
Direction = "R" -- "R" for right
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then
Direction = "N"
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
Direction = "L" -- "L" for left
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then
Direction = "N"
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
Direction = "W"
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then
Direction = "N"
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
Direction = "S"
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
wait()
end)
If anyone could help me out, it would mean alot, thanks. I’ll provide more code upon request. Probably something really obvious that i’ve missed.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
players.PlayerAdded:wait()
local player = players.LocalPlayer
player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local char = player.Character
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then --Undertale based game
Direction = "N" --If the direction is "N" it means that the player is currently engaged in a scene where no animations are needed
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
Direction = "R" -- "R" for right
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then
Direction = "N"
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
Direction = "L" -- "L" for left
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then
Direction = "N"
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
Direction = "W"
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if char.Torso.Soul.Enabled == true then
Direction = "N"
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S then
Direction = "S"
if IsWalking == true then
animatewalk()
else
animateidle()
end
end
end
end)
I removed the unnecessary wait() commands, and cleaned things up slightly but I didn’t make any significant changes, can you point to exactly what is not working?
If you want, I can provide you the code for the functions. If I playtest the game without the wait, the animations glitch out and aren’t as accurate, but for that, they don’t turn invisible.
Oh, I thought you added the waits to allow for the player & character to load. Keep them in then, if there’s a specific thing in the script you provided which isn’t working please describe it.
local Direction = "S"
local IsWalking = false
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

This is the rest of the code, the problem might also be here. I just added some comments so it’s easier to navigate through it
v.Enabled = false
Found your problem, I think. Toggling Enabled makes the entire GUI turn invisible, like a combination of disabling click detection and setting Transparency to 1 at the same time.
Try restarting the animation at speed 0 when you detect they’re standing still instead. This should make the character stand still if your walk cycle is timed correctly.
for i, v in pairs(char.Torso:GetChildren()) do --for ALL objects inside the torso, including the children of immediate parents...
if v.ClassName == "BillboardGui" then --Check if it's a UI container in worldspace...
v.Enabled = false --And turn it invisible + unclickable.
The image in question isn’t the problem nor the object list, the problem is you’re turning off every image at the same time.
Ah, I see now. I’ll leave my posts intact, just in case.
It looks like you might not be using thread yielding properly? Add an extra wait() inside the very bottom of your loop (next to v.Enabled = false) and see what happens.
I think I know now. The problem was part of the walkanimation script. At the end it disables the image before checking if the loop should continue. I just changed it to true and then to false at the beginning of the loop.
