Hello all!
I have a quick question.
How would I install an animation override script into my game, basically when you press specific buttons, Example WASD? and when you press each button an animation plays but when you press a button the instantly press the other it stops the previous animation.
local animator = if Humanoid then Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") else nil;
if animator then
local animTracks = animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()
for i,track in ipairs(animTracks) do
if track.Name == "NameOfAnimYouWantToStop" then
track:Stop(0);
end
end
if not animationTrackToPlay.IsPlaying then
-- Play the new animation if it is not playing
animationTrackToPlay:Play();
end
end
It did not work, would you like a snippet of my code to understand the problem better?
It may help me a little, I assumed you were trying to animate the humanoid.
alright here
local animations = {
[Enum.KeyCode.W] = "KnockbackUp",
[Enum.KeyCode.A] = "KnockbackLeft",
[Enum.KeyCode.S] = "KnockbackDown",
[Enum.KeyCode.D] = "KnockbackRight",
}
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local Character = tool.Parent
local hmr = Character.HumanoidRootPart
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.FnfGui.Enabled = true
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = hmr.CFrame + hmr.CFrame.RightVector * 13
camera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(camera.CFrame.Position, (hmr.CFrame + hmr.CFrame.LookVector * 5).Position)
Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
connectionBegan = userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
if processed == true then return end
if input.UserInputType ~= Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then return end
if pressed[input.KeyCode] == nil then return end
pressed[input.KeyCode] = true
local animation = animationModule.GetAnimation(animations[input.KeyCode])
while pressed[input.KeyCode] == true do
print("Playing:", animations[input.KeyCode])
highlightImage(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.FnfGui.Game.GlowArrows:FindFirstChild(highlight[input.KeyCode].. "Arrow"),"In")
animation:Play(0)
hudScale()
task.wait()
end
end)
connectionEnded = userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, processed)
if processed == true then return end
if input.UserInputType ~= Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then return end
if pressed[input.KeyCode] == nil then return end
highlightImage(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.FnfGui.Game.GlowArrows:FindFirstChild(highlight[input.KeyCode].. "Arrow"),"Out")
pressed[input.KeyCode] = false
end)
end)
This isn’t the full script but there’s a module that loads the animations.
Does the print get fired?
Why is the track being played in a loop? you have a task.wait() but no duration so this will continue on the next step i.e almost continuously it will be calling animation:Play().
There is also no animation:Stop() either, so they may be getting cued or the priority is getting mangled.
theres a loop being if you hold it down it will continue to play the animation.
And its because it finishes the animation. I’ll show u a video
You should probably wait until one cycle of the animation is finished before playing it again using
animation.Stopped:wait();
Or you should be stopping it manually before playing it again. What is the problem if it plays okay? Does it not switch to a new animation?
no no no, it overrides the current animation and plays the next one. It doesn’t wait until it stops, It completely stops the current one if you press another key that plays an animation
found it, I didn’t lay something right in the script.
