Animation not changing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hi, I am trying to make a realistic Walk/Sprint system but for some reason the animation wont change when I sprint.

here’s my code :

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Animate").run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=2510202577"
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local running = false

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key) -- Run function
	key = string.lower(key)
	if string.byte(key) == 48 then
		running = true
		local keyConnection = mouse.KeyUp:connect(function (key)
			if string.byte(key) == 48 then
				running = false
			end
		end)
	
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.run.RunAnim.AnimationId ="http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=913402848"
		for i = 1,30 do
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed + 0.3
			game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView + 0.5
			wait()
		end
		repeat wait () until running == false
		keyConnection:disconnect()
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.run.RunAnim.AnimationId ="http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=2510202577"
		for i = 1,30 do
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - 0.3
			game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView - 0.5
			wait()
		end
		
		end

end)

You should use Humanoid.StateType instead

Hi!
I changed your code a little bit so that it works faster. Changing default animation each time player presses LeftShift drains performance. Instead, this script only plays an already created animation instance. When sprinting stops, this animation stops and default run animation plays. Don’t forget that on PC, run animation is the same for walking and running, because walking animation is somehow only triggered at lower walking speeds, which happen when games are played on game consoles, tablets or phones.

One more thing[!]. If you want your animations to work outside studio and for other players in publicly accessible game, they must be owned by you or the group that published the game!

Some lines are just shortened for the sake of readability. The following code should work (unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to test it). I’ll test it myself when I find time and will update in case I discover any errors.

local Players = game:GetService('Players')

local character = Players.LocalPlayer.Character or Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local running = false

-- Set default animation (remember that run animation is used for both walking and running on PC)
character:WaitForChild("Animate").run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2510202577"

-- Add new animation to character
local runTrack = Instance.new('Animation') -- new instance and its location
runTrack.Name = 'CustomRunAnimation'
runTrack.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://913402848"
local runAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(runTrack)


-- Run function
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key)
	key = string.lower(key)
	if string.byte(key) == 48 then
		running = true
		local keyConnection = mouse.KeyUp:connect(function (key)
			if string.byte(key) == 48 then
				running = false
			end
		end)

		for i = 1,30 do
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed + 0.3
			camera.FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView + 0.5
			wait()
		end
		
		if runAnim.IsPlaying ~= true then
			runAnim:Play() -- overwrite current animation
		end
		
		repeat wait () until running == false
		keyConnection:disconnect()

        runAnim:Stop() -- stop playing animation
		
		for i = 1,30 do
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed - 0.3
			camera.FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView - 0.5
			wait()
		end
	end
end)

I also suggest you look into TweenService. In fact, it could very much improve FOV and WalkSpeed change (smooth transitions). You can read about it here:

And on YouTube or here on Roblox Developer Forum.

Thank you so much!!!
