Animation Code Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

1. For a gun I have made I am trying to create some animations for it!

2. I know that Humaniod:LoadAnimation(Animation Here) is depreciated but can’t figure out how to change my code to the right version

3. I have tried looking around Youtube, Here and DeveloperHub for any help but I didn’t understand it, would love if someone could explain it in simple terms or give a good link .

here is my current code

 local tool = script.Parent
 local shootAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
 shootAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5940342945"
local track

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	track = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(shootAnim)
	track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
	track.Looped = false
	track:Play()
end)

:grinning: Thanks for the help :grinning:

shootAnim isn’t parented to anything? Try to do Animator:LoadAnimation() instead

I assume your code already works, correct? This is how to use the new way of playing animations on the client. I recommend looking at the api on dev hub for more info.

local tool = script.Parent
local shootAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
shootAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5940342945"
local track

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local animator = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
    if animator then
        track = animator:LoadAnimation(shootAnim)
	
    	track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
    	track.Looped = false
    	track:Play()
    end
end)

A small note, you should check if the tools parent has a humanoid child to double check that it’s not in the backpack. Otherwise, your code could throw an error. Always nice to be sure.

shootAnim does not need to be parented something to use Animated:LoadAnimation().

There was recently an announcement about LoadAnimation becoming deprecated - perhaps this may be the issue?
