I’m trying to smoothly transition between a set of walking and sprinting animations using :AdjustWeight, but I get a slight stuttering effect when I do so. I blend the animations by initially playing them with a close to zero weight and adjusting their weight based on the direction of the character’s movement. I think my issue might occur because the walking and sprinting animations have a different length but I can’t think of a way to compensate for this. I tried adjusting the TimePosition of the tracks when switching states but that didn’t work as I’m probably doing something wrong.
Thank you!
--lerptracks is a table with all the animations in it
--playingtrack is the track that is supposed to be playing
game:GetService("RunService"):BindToRenderStep("WalkCycle", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value, function(dt)
if humanoid.Health > 0 then
for i =1,#lerptracks do
local track = lerptracks[i];
if(playingtrack==nil) then
track:AdjustWeight(0.0000101,0.2);
else
if(track.Name == playingtrack.Name) then
track:AdjustWeight(1,0.15);
else
track:AdjustWeight(0.0000101,0.15);
end
end
end
end
end)
characterState.Changed:Connect(function()
local ch = playingtrack.TimePosition/playingtrack.Length
for i,v in pairs(lerptracks) do
if(v~=playingtrack) then
v.TimePosition = v.Length*ch;
end
end
end)
Instead of manually adjusting weights, simply use the first argument of animationtrack:Play()/animationtrack:Stop() to make the transition smoother.
local smoothness = 0.3 -- how slowly animation transforms into the first pose, the first time it is played.
local function run(bool)
if bool then
sprintanim:Play(smoothness)
walkanim:Stop(smoothness)
else
sprintanim:Stop(smoothness)
walkanim:Play(smoothness)
end
alternatively, if you don’t want to use that, you can try weighted lerps.
local sprintweight = 1 -- whatever you want it to start as
local sprintweightgoal
local sprinting = false -- variable if player is sprinting or not
local function lerp(number, numbergoal, increment)
return number + (numbergoal - number) * increment
end
runservice.Heartbeat:connect(function()
if sprinting == true then
sprintingweight = lerp(sprintingweight, sprintingweightgoal, 0.15)
else
sprintingweight = lerp(sprintingweight, 0, 0.15)
end
sprintanim:AdjustWeight(sprintingweight)
end)
here, but I don’t think there are any problems with those sections
