Animations not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically my animation doesn’t work and I tried to make it work but still the animation never plays

this is the script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local handle = script.Parent
local punchbool = script.Parent:WaitForChild("IsPunching")
local cooldown = script.Parent.PunchCooldown
local event = script.Parent.Event
local swing = script.Parent.SwingSound
local animator = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")
local animationtrack = animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Punch)


tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("coolio")
	animationtrack:Play()
end)

help pls

You’re using :FindFirstChild when searching for the humanoid. If this script runs when the player joins, it won’t be able to find the player’s humanoid, therefore not finding the animator.

#3

so wat do i use

sorry am beginner scripter

#4

use :WaitForChild instead of :FindFirstChild

#5

idk why its still not working i own the animation maybe its because its in the tool?

#6

Why do you have the script inside the Handle?, put it inside the Tool?

#7

Does “coolio” get printed?

Char limit

#8

yea it gets printed (limit aaaa)

#9

ill try that (limit again aaa)

#10

I usually define the animation THEN load it in with animator
like this:

local anim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local Loadanim = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)

Alright, so first make sure that you’ve actually assigned the animationId to the Punch animation instance, sometimes we can get a little gullible and forget about that

#12

yup put in my animation (eeee)

#13

He’s doing the exact same thing except its not on a variable

#14

lemme try that (effeefeffefeffeeee)

#15

actually wait tools are really finicky and can prevent animations from playing, its most likely that

#16

is it also weird my handle has no touch interest (like all my tools got it)

#17

You can fix this by Disabling a function in the Roblox Provided Animator

#18

No, because your not listening for touches, your listening for clicks

#19

try doing animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Punch”)

#20

nope, prints out the stuff but no animation yet
