Animation not updating after being changed

exp_lol123 · July 3, 2021, 6:23pm

Maybe try doing this:

char.Running:Connect(function()
crouchloadanim:Play()
crouchloadanim:AdjustSpeed(1)
end)

char.Idle:Connect(function()
crouchloadanim:AdjustSpeed(0)
end)

superhypercrazy1 · July 3, 2021, 7:11pm

I would try that, but there is not a variable called crouchloadanim. Could you explain what that is?

he’s probably referring to what i said

exp_lol123 · July 4, 2021, 6:12am

Basically, create an animation inside your script and name it Crouch. Then create a variable called crouchanim. Then I’ll show you what to do next:

local crouchanim = script:WaitForChild("Crouch")
local crouchloadanim = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(crouchanim)

char.Running:Connect(function()
crouchloadanim:Play()
crouchloadanim:AdjustSpeed(1)
end)

char.Idle:Connect(function()
crouchloadanim:Play()
crouchloadanim:AdjustSpeed(0)
end)

How would that change the walk and idle animation…?

ImagineAraknala · July 4, 2021, 4:15pm

Have you scripted the character to play the crouch idle animation as you transition from crouching to fully crouched?

exp_lol123 · July 4, 2021, 4:26pm

It will detect if the humanoid is idling and it’ll play the animation and if the humanoid is running, it’ll adjust the animation speed to 1 and play the animation too.

superhypercrazy1 · July 4, 2021, 6:06pm

Idle is not a valid member of character.

exp_lol123 · July 4, 2021, 6:07pm

Oh then do character.Humanoid sorry about that.

superhypercrazy1 · July 4, 2021, 6:13pm

It’s also not a valid member of humanoid…

exp_lol123 · July 4, 2021, 6:16pm

I think it’s:

player.Idled:Connect(function()-- the player is not the character by the way.

end) 


the player is not the character by the way.

superhypercrazy1 · July 4, 2021, 6:26pm

Well, testing the other code turns up working, however, the function does not fire. My best guess as to why this would be is that the idled function is only called when the player begins idling. Is there a way to tell if the player is currently idle?

exp_lol123 · July 4, 2021, 6:37pm

Maybe try doing this:

local crouchanim = script:WaitForChild("Crouch")
local crouchloadanim = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(crouchanim)

    if  char.Animate.idle.Animation1:Play() or char.Animate.idle.Animation2:Play() then  
    crouchloadanim:Play()
    end

superhypercrazy1 · July 4, 2021, 6:53pm

That doesn’t work, those aren’t loaded animations.

A quick google gave me the answer to that problem. Now I just need to figure out when they stop idling/running.

Alright, got it done now. Thanks for the help! I probably wouldn’t have thought of the play animation thing otherwise.

Final script that is still a bit jittery but works soooo

local animEvent = script.Parent:WaitForChild("CrouchEvent")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local team = player:WaitForChild(player.Name .. "_Team")
local crouching = false
local crouchAnim = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Animations.Crouch.Crouch
local unCrouchAnim = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Animations.Crouch.UnCrouch
local idle = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Animations.Crouch.Idle
local running = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Animations.Crouch.Running
local loaded

Glad you solved your problem! I hope you have a lovely day!

DabidarZ · October 11, 2021, 4:28am

Okay, so I found a solution.
How to works, is it checks if an ID was changed for any Animation Instances in Roblox’s default animate script then changes its humanoidStateType to update the animations, so I grabbed the animate script and added the code under the “connect events” as seen in the image. I don’t know if this is the most efficient way, so please if someone has something else that works just as smoothly and similar to this then please, let us know.

I hope this helped you.

spawn(function()
	for i,v in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
		for i2, anim in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
			if anim:IsA("Animation") then
				spawn(function()
					anim:GetPropertyChangedSignal("AnimationId"):Connect(function()
						Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed)
					end)
				end)
			end
		end
	end
end)

This script by itself didn’t work for me as it seemed to be running the code before the animations were loaded. I added a line to wait for the animations to load and it worked perfectly.

Code, inside the Animate script, which I put in StarterCharacterScripts

task.spawn(function()
	repeat task.wait() until #script:GetChildren() == 10
	for i,v in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do
		for i2, anim in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
			if anim:IsA("Animation") then
				task.spawn(function()
					anim:GetPropertyChangedSignal("AnimationId"):Connect(function()
						Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed)
					end)
				end)
			end
		end
	end
end)

Just leaving this here for any future developers. Thanks, @DabidarZ

This script works on the client’s side, but the server doesn’t seem to register it for me. Do you know how to fix that? I tried to implement this script in a server script, but it doesn’t seem to do anything for me.

wGummi · June 2, 2023, 11:46am

Did you put it inside an Animate script? And what do you need it on the server for, npcs?

toxicsect · June 2, 2023, 4:41pm

I did put it in the Animate script, and I tried to put that script in a server script afterwards to test if it was the client not replicating to the server or something.
