so i made an animation a while ago but it only played correctly when i tilted it backwards 90 degrees, i dont know how to fix this


how it should play:



how it actually plays:


also heres the script:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local vCharacter = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local RockFoundEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RockFoundEvent

local NewAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
NewAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://15963721047"
NewAnimation.Parent = vCharacter

local Active = false
local HitDistance = 13.5 -- the distance that you can hit the rock from

function StopAnimations(humanoid)
	for i, v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		v:Stop()
	end
end

local function DoRaycast()
	-- removed because not related
end


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		local Pickaxe = vCharacter:FindFirstChild("Pickaxe")
		
		if Active == true then return end
		if Pickaxe == nil then return end
		if Pickaxe:IsA("Tool") and Pickaxe.Equipped then
			
			Active = true
			
			local vHumanoid = vCharacter:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			local Animation = vHumanoid:LoadAnimation(NewAnimation)
			
			Animation:Play(0.25,10,0.9)
			DoRaycast()
			
			task.wait()
			Active = false
		end
	end
end)

What is the animation priority for this? Animation priority makes a huge difference in playing animations. If this didn’t help, then you probably took the wrong animation

#3

the priority for the animation is action

#4

You can try setting a weight for the animation.

AnimationTrack:Play(0,10,1) -- 1st argument is fadetime, 2nd is the weight and 3rd is the speed.
#5

nope, just moves more suddenly
also, weight?

#6

Weight is basically a measure of say priority. It can be used for interpolation between 2 animations. You can try that by setting weight to a value between 0-1. 1 being no interpolation and 0 being that animation won’t play.

Also you say suddenly huh? Try this:

AnimationTrack:Play(0.25,10,0.9) -- 1st argument is fadetime, 2nd is the weight and 3rd is the speed.
#8

Are you sure you took the right animation? It seems different from the one you played in the animation tab

#9

You can stop all the animation tracks then play the animation

function StopAnimations(humanoid)
	for i, v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		v:Stop()
	end
end

-- after you call the function, play the animation
#10

yeah, i took the right animation

#11

now it jumps to the start position and jumps to the normal position at the end
also the animation is still tilted backwards

also @yoshicoolTV the script didn’t fix it

#12

is there any other animation playing?

#13

im not sure, i tried what yoshi said but it still didn’t work

#14

this is kinda confusing, do you have the script where you are playing the animation?

#15

the script that starts the animation? i put it in the main post

#16

i didnt notice u edited ur post, illl check it out

#17

i noticed you used humanoid to load the animation which is deprecated. try using the animator instead

local Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animator")
local AnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation("Animation")

AnimationTrack:Play()
#18

Also why is your task.wait() empty? Try adding a number. Another reason (unlikely) why this error is happening is probably that you are playing multiple animations at once

And you didn’t use yoshi’s function (referring to your script) soo…

#19

task.wait() adds a very small delay, also yoshi’s script stops other animations but i tried it already and it didn’t work, i also removed it from the script afterwards, i just kept the function

also changing it to animator didn’t work

#20

Yeah but it’s practically useless since you’re making an extremely extremely fast cooldown it doesn’t really guarantee it won’t play the same animation twice. I recommend only enabling Active after the animation has finished.
