Animation isnt positioned correctly when playing in-game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So ive been working on an animation to enter the car so it looked better overall, i did the animation and even tested it with npcs, but when i play it in-game with a script, the position of the character is wrong (as seen in the 2 comparisons below)

with an npc:


in-game: (ignore the black sky its for testing purposes)

here is the script that i used:

local Seat = script.Parent

function added(child)
	if (child.ClassName == "Weld") then
		human = child.part1.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if human ~= nil then
			anim = human:LoadAnimation(Seat.GetInAnimation)
			anim:Play()
		end
	end
end

function removed(child)
	if anim ~= nil then
		anim:Stop()
		anim:Remove()
	end
end

Seat.ChildAdded:Connect(added)
Seat.ChildRemoved:Connect(removed)

i dont know what is wrong in here, i used other characters as reference to center the animation as most as possible but i cant get it to work.
any help is appreciated!

Try this:

--//Variables
local Seat = script.Parent

--//Controls
local Animation = nil

--//Functions
Seat.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if not child:IsA("Weld") then
		return
	end
	
	local Humanoid = child.part1.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	
	if Humanoid then
		for i, animation in ipairs(Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
			animation:Stop()
		end
		
		Animation = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Seat.GetInAnimation)
		Animation:Play()
	end
end)

Seat.ChildRemoved:Connect(function()
	if not Animation then
		return
	end
	
	Animation:Stop()
	Animation:Remove()
end)

it works, thanks, but the problem comes when the animation plays:


for some reason the movement in the animation is very different from the original one used on an npc or in the animator itself
thats the only issue im currently having right now.

Try anchoring the HumanoidRootPart when playing the animation.

it looks like i fixed the issue, i forgot to set the animation priority to action.
thank you all who tried to help!
