Animation Looped but Not Looped In-Game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I was trying to animate this guy thinking about if he should jump into a hole. I set the animation to looped in the script but it clearly isn’t looping:


here’s the script:

local animation = script.Parent:WaitForChild("SitThink")
local hum = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local sitthink = hum:LoadAnimation(animation)

sitthink:Play()
sitthink.Looped = true

Please try do do some research before posting your problem. The DevForum prompts you to do this as you post. It seems there’s history with AnimationTrack.Looped not replicating when set on the server to clients and vice-versa. Try changing the run context to “Client”, or simply flagging the animation as looped in your animation editor.

FYI, Humanoid:LoadAnimation is deprecated. You’re asked to use Animator:LoadAnimation instead. An Animator instance is auto-generated as a child of all players’ Humanoid instances

So I tried it. Idk if this is how I was supposed to use this, but here it is:

local animation = script:WaitForChild("SitThink")
local hum = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local sitthink = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

sitthink:Play()
sitthink.Looped = true

Btw, it didn’t work. (If that’s how u use it)

What exactly was it that you tried?

#5

Try setting the Looped property before playing the AnimationTrack.

#6

I added

hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
#7

nope, didn’t work… :frowning:
And I tried that before I posted this.

#8

I did not state that as a solution. Only as a correction. Please attempt either changing the run context or setting the animation as looped in your animation editor

Loaded animations don’t have a Looped property.
Set the Animation instance’s Looped property to true instead.

That’s right. The solution is of course to set it as looped in the Animation Editor.
