Hello, I’ve been having trouble recently with applying animations to my custom character. Any help is appreciated!

How do I make a my own default character animation?

if you haven’t rigged it yet you’ll need a plugin like this

after your character has Motor6D joints (along with a humanoid) it’ll be compatible with the roblox animation editor.

IF you want it to have DEFAULT animations then you’ll need to have proper bodypart names based on whether or not its a R6 model or R15 model. (if its neither then you’ll have to make your own animations)

I’ve rigged my character model already. The thing is, I’ve been trying to use the R6 animation script your character automatically spawns with. I’m not sure if what I’m doing is correct. If I am supposed to be using this script, how would I edit it so that it is compatible with my character?

your character wont work for the R6 animation script it doesn’t have the same body part names as a normal R6 character.

HOWEVER it looks compatible with the R15 animation script (almost)

Step 1: Set the Humanoids RigType to R15 with properties panel

Step 2: Properly capitalize your body part names (the start of each word has a capital letter)

RightUpperArm
RightLowerArm
RightHand
RightFood
Head
etc

Step 3: You’ll need an UpperTorso and LowerTorso for R15 models.

Step 4: Make sure every body part (besides HumanoidRootPart) has a Motor6D.

Step 5: Step Humanoids HipHeight property accordingly with the Properties Panel

After these steps you should be able to use the R15 animation script. (which will be automatically added to any character with a R15 rigtype)

I’m afraid it’s still not working. I followed and went over each step as well.

#6

you should see errors/warnings in your output, it’ll tell you whats wrong with the animation script.

#7

There’s no errors in the output

#8

You should probably try making custom animations.

#9

I did make custom animations, the issue is the script isn’t working

#10

Have you changed all these?
Example

#11

Yes, I’ve gone into the script as well and changed the IDs

#12

Are you using it as a player character?

#13

Yes, sorry I didn’t reply faster I was asleep lol

#14

the default R6 and R15 scripts are going to break because of your body part names and motor6D parents, you’ll need to write your OWN scripts for custom animations. (unless you make your rig compatible with R6 or R15 animate script).

I’ve already mentioned this lol.

Are you able to link me a post explaining how to create my own anim script? If not that’s fine. Thanks for your help btw
