Animation not playing for my npc

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to play an animation when my enemy attacks someone, but the animation isn’t playing. The default Roblox animate script is also included in here, I figured that might be the problem and messed with the weights but there were no results.

My script:

local repStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
local quantityManager = require(repStorage.QuantityManager)
local humanoid = script.Parent.Zombieoid --humanoid is renamed for anti team kill
local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
local zombie = script.Parent
local hum = zombie.Zombieoid
local animation = script:WaitForChild("Attack")
local animationTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
local debounce = 0
local deathsound = zombie.HumanoidRootPart.DeathSound
local attacksound = zombie.HumanoidRootPart.AttackSound
local pitch = deathsound.PitchShiftSoundEffect
animationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

function dmg(hit)
	if hum.Health ~= 0 then
		if debounce == 0 then
			if hit.Parent ~= nil then
				local hum = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
				if hum ~= nil then
					debounce = 1
					hum:TakeDamage(10)
					animationTrack:Play()
					attacksound:Play()
					wait(1)
					debounce = 0
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

The damage function is run when the enemy is touched, and I’m sure it’s activating because I take damage.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks :slight_smile:

at the top line of the function it requires the humanoids health to be 0. So it cant move on until the player has died. Try removing it

#3

The top line is to make sure it’s not dead; notice the tilde. Also I’m sure it advances past since the the other parts of the function work (sound damage etc)

#4

if there is another animation already running on the zombie like a run animation, it could be canceling out the attack animation

#5

i had a similar problem in my game

#6

If that’s the case, how would I give my animation priority over the others?

#7

I dont know if that would work what i did is i moved my attack animation to the same script as the other animation and did this
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
animtrack:Stop()
if debounce then
debounce = false
animtrack1:Play()
wait(.8)
animtrack:Play()
debounce = true
end
end)

#8

The issue with that is that I want my other (walking) animation to overlap with the one I’m trying to play, I know it’s possible because I’ve seen it in other games before.

#9

Well good luck, and don’t give up

That’s the plan :+1:
I’ll keep going at it, thanks for the time :slight_smile:
