Accidental T-Pose

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have an animation on a mesh character that plays when it dies, but when playing the animation, for a few milliseconds it goes into T pose, I tried changing the animation priority but I still can’t get rid of this error.

function onDied()
	local char = script.Parent
	char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
	local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid then return end

	local deathAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.DieAnim)
	deathAnim.Looped = false

	deathAnim.Stopped:Connect(function()
		char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	end)

	deathAnim:Play()
	pose = "Dead"
end

Hi i couldn’t get to replicate your t pose but i did hopefully fix your script. What i added is humanoid:SetStateEnabled(). Also humanoid:LoadAnimation() has been deprecated so i used the Animator instance instead. I hope both of these fixes will help your problem. I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char.Humanoid

local pose
local animationID -- set your animation id here

local function onDied()
	local hrp = char.HumanoidRootPart
	hrp.Anchored = true

	-- Use Animator
	local animator = Instance.new("Animator")
	animator.Parent = humanoid

	local deathAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
	deathAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..animationID

	local playAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(deathAnim)
	playAnim.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4

	playAnim.Stopped:Connect(function()
		humanoid.Health = 0
		humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, true)
		char.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	end)

	playAnim:Play()
	
	pose = "Dead"
end

humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false)

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
	if humanoid.Health <= 0 then
		onDied()
	end
end)

thanks for the help, but im still having the same problem

#4

I think its because theres another animation playing, like the running one? And that’s why it glitches and then the mesh character dies. So i think maybe try to detect if its moving/attacking and then play your “death” animation, or animate the run so it fades smoothly to the death animation? Sorry I am so bad at explaining.

#5

Ive seen this problem before. I think its due to the order of how you play/stopthe animations. Try the following in order:

  1. play death animation
  2. immediately stop all current animation (excluding the death)

Also trying to play death animation with a 0.1 blend is typically a good idea

#6

I still have the same problem, I tried to stop the animations before, stop them after, change the animation priority, and everything is still the same.

#7

have you already tried preloading the animation (prior to npc dying) and playing it when the npc does die
ex:

local AnimationTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(tragetAnimation)

function onDied()
AnimationTrack:Play()
end

I think it’s because while the detath animation loads, there isn’t any animation running currently and that causes it to go to its default rig state (t-pose) before the death animation is played. Try preloading the death animation and see if that helps.
