Animation Problem on floating character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I have a game system where the player sits using a sit animation. It works by anchoring the character and setting their CFrame to match the chair’s CFrame.

I created an animation and tried to play it, but it does absolutely nothing.

function GameMain:PlayIdleAnimation(plr: Player)
	local character = plr.Character

	local humanoid = character.Humanoid
	local animator: Animator = humanoid.Animator

	local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
	anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://id"

	local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
	track.Looped = true
	track:Play()
	self:FindPlayerInTable(plr)[7] = track
end

What am I doing wrong?

set the animation priority to action

When a character is anchored the animation won’t play. Try welding it instead

you should just put a seat object inside of the chair so the player can sit if they walk over it without needing to create a script for it also if you have a custom sitting animation you should change it inside of the players animate script

How will I be able to sit them by teleporting them?

if you want to force the player to sit on the chair you can use the :Sit() function

local humanoid = character.Humanoid
local seatobject = (ur seat object)

seatobject:Sit(humanoid)

Try:

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://id"

function GameMain:PlayIdleAnimation(plr: Player)
	local character = plr.Character

	local humanoid = character.Humanoid
	local animator: Animator = humanoid.Animator
	local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
	track.Priority=Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
	track.Looped = true
	track:Play()
	self:FindPlayerInTable(plr)[7] = track
end

Animator script does play own animations hence why
Action priority should override them

Animations can’t play when the humanoidrootpart is anchored it’s not misinformation

12

i checked a bit ago by anchoring my humanoidrootpart, the animations played

Not to look egotistical, but firstly, you are completely wrong and do spread misinformation.
Second of all, I know the behavior of animations better than you know how to speak without multiple mistakes in a sentence.

its okay people make mistakes you dont have to be rude

animations don’t have any hardcodded behavior that ties to a root of joint being anchored.
The hell you are yapping about?
All animations do is update Transform property (internally) on a Motor6D/Bone

Wouldn’t the animation just not work ? sure the moter/bone pos will still get updated but visually speaking it wouldn’t show the animation playing

Sorry for late reply, making it to sit seems to be more reliable solution.
