Animation not playing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello. I am trying to make it so an animation plays when you press the “Q” key, but the animation won’t play. I have not been able to find a working solution to solve this.

Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Hit.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, class)
	if class == 1 then
		plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value = true
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Hit.OnServerEvent:Wait()
		plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value = false
	end
end)

LocalScript:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local hit = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hit
plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local character = plr.Character
local humanoid = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HitAnimation"))


uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 8
	end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 8
	end
		if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print(tostring(plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value))
			if plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value == false then
				animation:Play()
				hit:FireServer(1)
			end
			print("q")
		end
	end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed -= 8
	end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed -= 8
	end
end)

Both scripts are parented to StarterCharacterScripts.
Thanks!

Questions to ask:
Any errors in the output? Have you confirmed if the code runs after the if statement checking if the IsAttacking value is false? Maybe the IsAttacking value could potentially be true? Does the RemoteEvent even fire? Have you made sure that you pasted the correct animation id for HitAnimation?

I believe the issue is likely occurring from the if statement checking if the IsAttacking value is false. Make sure the IsAttacking value is set to false, and add a print statement under that if statement to see if it runs.

#3 
local character = plr.Character
local humanoid = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local animation = animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HitAnimation"))

use Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation() instead of Humanoid:LoadAnimation() since it’s deprecated

#4

Try replacing your LocalScript with this:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local uis = game:GetService(“UserInputService”)
local hit = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hit
plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local character = plr.Character
local humanoid = plr.Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 8
	end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 8
	end
		if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print(tostring(plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value))
			if plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value == false then
                local animation = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HitAnimation"))
				animation:Play()
				hit:FireServer(1)
			end
			print("q")
		end
	end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed -= 8
	end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed -= 8
	end
end)

It is not deprecated‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I’ve printed out the values in the script before, so I confirm that those work. I have not encountered any logged errors either.

#8

While that was a good idea, changing it didn’t seem to work.

LocalScript:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local hit = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hit
plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local character = plr.Character
local humanoid = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animation = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HitAnimation"))


uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 8
	end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 8
	end
		if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print(tostring(plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value))
			if plr.Character.IsAttacking.Value == false then
				animation:Play()
				hit:FireServer(1)
			end
			print("q")
		end
	end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed -= 8
	end
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
		plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed -= 8
	end
end)

A script that controls the children of the character:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local attackbool = Instance.new("BoolValue", char)
		attackbool.Name = "IsAttacking"
		local cooldown = Instance.new("BoolValue", char)
		cooldown.Name = "OnCooldown"
		local animator = Instance.new("Animator", char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"))
		animator.Name = "Animator"
	end)
end)
#10

It’ll still work regardless​​​​​​

#11

make the animation “preoperty” (didn’t remember of that name thing) to Action or Movement

1 Like
#12

I did change it to Action before publishing.

#13

remove WaitForChild(), and write script.HitAnimation instead of script:WaitForChild("HitAnimation"), if not you could check for that lines are can work,

check with print(), it’s may not working

#14

I have check with print() before, it works.

#15

Then use this, if it’s still not works then idk
