"AnimationTrack limit of 256 for one Animator exceeded, new animations will not be played.", Walk and Run animations not working

wireframeX · July 30, 2024, 12:37am

(1. What do you want to achieve?)

I want to achieve a working custom walk and run animation.

(2. What is the issue?)

When the player runs around a lot (with general knowledge i think it is instead invoked by the player switching between walking and running animations way too much) it returns the error:

-- AnimationTrack limit of 256 for one Animator exceeded, new animations will not be played

An example of the error happening (IN THE GAME):

(3. What are the solutions have you tried so far?)

I have been looking throughout the devforum and other websites and sources of help for a solution to this problem, yet I haven’t been able to find the common causes in my scripts.

The script im using to animate is the normal roblox animate script that is found in the player.
Here are the scripts that im using:
(Animate - In StarterCharacterScripts)

local userNoUpdateOnLoop = userNoUpdateOnLoopSuccess and userNoUpdateOnLoopValue

local userAnimateScaleRunSuccess, userAnimateScaleRunValue = pcall(function() return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserAnimateScaleRun") end)
local userAnimateScaleRun = userAnimateScaleRunSuccess and userAnimateScaleRunValue

local function getRigScale()
	if userAnimateScaleRun then
		return Character:GetScale()

Enable this in studio settings to see what’s going on with the animations:

If i remember correctly that happened when the humanoid switched from RunningNoPhysics to x state very rapidly due to interaction with some nearby part, but I could be confusing it with something else.

It seems to be overloading the animator with several animations called “walk” and “run”
every single time the player interacts with a part.

According to what you said:

“If i remember correctly that happened when the humanoid switched from RunningNoPhysics to xstate very rapidly due to interaction with some nearby part, but I could be confusing it with something else”

A similar thing might be happening, but instead animations are playing due to interaction with some nearby part. I do not know why this is happening, but I have found the cause of the animator being overloaded.

Otherwise, the HumanoidStateType is not as described by what you said.
(Rapidly Switching from RunningNoPhysics to X State (Which I am guessing means None) due to interaction with parts)

I will try and find the solution after posting this reply :DDDDDDDD

I fixed it!
I think the issue was either:

A: Not naming the animation script Animate, therefore causing 2 Walk and Run scripts.
B: Updating the Animate script.
