So I’m trying to make a game with a character loader as I will be using custom characters and I’m using the default Animate script. For some reason, it only seems to work on your client and you can’t see anyone else’s animations.
I do not want to add Animate scripts to every character model. While I do know that would work, it’s highly inefficient and I want to manually assign it on character creation for flexibility.
This is the ModuleScript that handles character creation. The Animate script is the default one provided by Roblox.
local Mod = {}
local OverrideTest = false
local DefaultCharacterStorage = game.ServerStorage.Survivors:GetChildren()
function Mod.LoadPlr(Player, SpawnPos, CharacterOverride)
if not Player or not Player:IsA("Player") then
return
end
local success, player = pcall(function()
local Char
if CharacterOverride then
Char = CharacterOverride:Clone()
else
Char = DefaultCharacterStorage[math.random(1, #DefaultCharacterStorage)]:Clone()
end
if OverrideTest then return Player:LoadCharacter():PivotTo(workspace.Lobby.Spawn.CFrame) end -- purposefully bomb the script so it loads fallback
Char.Name = Player.Name
local Animate = script.AnimateScript:Clone()
Animate.Name = "Animate"
Animate.Parent = Char
Animate.Enabled = true
Player.Character = Char
Char.Parent = workspace
if SpawnPos then
Char:PivotTo(SpawnPos.CFrame)
end
return Char
end)
if not success then
warn("Issue loading player "..Player.Name)
Player:LoadCharacter() -- load default avatar as fallback
return
end
end
return Mod
I’ve tried a few more approaches after this, nothing worked. Even tried switching to a server script. That approach works but makes it reliant on ping which looks really bad .
Bumping this post so someone better than me can see it.
I don’t know much about animation, but I have touched on it a bit before. If your StarterCharacter has another Animate localscript, then it might cause problems (I assume). I would doubt that this is the case though since you are using a custom character model.
Hiya. I am not sure about your existing system. But mightn’t it be possible to instead put your rig/char in starterCharacterScripts (Or StarterPlayer, I don’t quite remember) and name it StarterCharacter. This should automatically make it the playercharacter of any player who joins. I don’t know if this is relevant. But may help.
Char.Parent = workspace
for _, part in ipairs(Char:GetDescendants()) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
part:SetNetworkOwner(Player)
end
end
Looking over some old scripts here, looks like I was trying to do this too and settled on morphing to them with a proxy prompt. It has full control of the animations.. Something to play around with anyways.. Wolfman.rbxm (70.6 KB) I only use R15, so not sure if that will be any help.
(this is drag and drop)
Figured you were using r6, but you can see the steps. You would have to set that r6 up just like I did that r15.. I think Fox_Lord88 is right, but maybe not the order of that. Move everything over set owner then delete the old one. You can see in that prompt script I was setting that up and commented it off.
I just don’t know how to help here, I just don’t work with them r6 bodies. I’m sure someone knows just what to do. There are many examples here on the forums if you look around. I just can’t say for sure they work and don’t want to lead you down the wrong path..
The solution was so dumb that I couldn’t even believe it at first. But anyway, let me tell you the solution!
1. Change the network ownership section so only the HumanoidRootPart is owned by the player 2. Insert an Animator instance into the Humanoid 3. Add a task.wait() after the Character gets parented to the server, then enable the Animate script so the Humanoid can load properly
