Animation offset

But there won’t be anything happening on the server because the cutscene is only playing on the client. Also, the character used isn’t the player’s character, it’s a dummy one used for the cutscene.

1: There is dialogue.
2: This has nothing to do with the problem I’m having.

I think I posted this on the wrong post bc on mobile you have to choose and I may clicked the wrong button

Animations replicate from client to server so you will still see animation from server even if you played it from the client. Roblox Animation Replication API

I just tested it, there’s nothing happening on the server. Only the client. The animation is loaded on the client, and it is played on the client.

EDIT: Hold up I’m an idiot let me test this again.

EDIT 2: Okay no I was right originally.

Is there a way I could still check if there’s an offset when I can only view the animation on the client? I know I could check the position in the Explorer, but the thing is, I don’t know what the ending position is of anything, as it is an animation.

So, just figured out how to do that, and for some reason, there’s no offset before the animation begins. None. All of the positions are exactly as they should be. These are the positions of the camera.
(162.348, 23.699, -10.471) Testing
(1162.348, 23.699, -10.471) In-Game (Different X because map loading)

This is important because it means that the offset is caused by the animation for some reason. If nobody tries to solve this by the end of tomorrow, I’ll release the game without the ending cutscene and then wait for help later, as I’m trying to get the game done before school starts.

How is the character reacting to this, is this a cutscene playing after a player touches a part? or is it when they join the game? or is it something else?

It plays when you touch a part. The player is teleported to a box, the cutscene begins, and the camera position is set to where the dummy character used for the cutscene is.

Im not an expert on animations but by the looks of it the camera seems to be offset from where you animated it.

Did you animate the camera with the editor as well?

No, the part that the camera is tracking is welded to the head of the character. You can actually kind of see the eyes of the character in the second video clipping through the part slightly.

Also, I knew that the camera is offset. For some reason, the animation seems to sort of launch the character forward in some way when it begins, and I don’t know why.

Alright, just discovered that moving the character 10 studs back from their starting position works, but it ends up looking a little weird, so I’ll only use that if I have to. This means that the animation is teleporting the character forwards about 10 studs upon starting for some reason. Anyone know why this could be happening?

AHA

I’ma be honest, I thought this hadn’t worked at first, but nope. Apparently changing that property of Humanoid is a bit finicky.
