Crouching system

[kattenemil2017 (mollyersej)]

hello im making a crouch script and its not really my specialty for some reason so i would just ask for help since it annoys me because it won’t work so if someone could fix it for me that would be nice.

-- Services
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

-- Variables
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

-- Animations
local walkAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
walkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://11064740474"

local idleAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
idleAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://11064503891"

-- Animation Tracks

local idleTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)
idleTrack.Looped = false

local walkTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)
walkTrack.Looped = false

local crouched = false
local moving = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then
		return
	end
	
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl or Enum.KeyCode.C then
		if not crouched then
			if not moving then
				crouched = true
				idleTrack:Play()
				idleTrack.Looped = true
			else
				crouched = true
				walkTrack:Play()
				walkTrack.Looped = true
			end
		end
	end
end)

What if you made a function that made the character’s body move in a certain position vise versa

The script won’t run because crouched will be always true. Also, make sure your animation has the correct priority. To debug your animation:

Tool animation not working

Set animation priority to action. Make sure the rig type is correct. If so, test it on a dummy rig using a script to play it. It is possible that you anchored your rig and the animation will not appear to play. Make sure you are the owner of the animation (studio playtesting). Make sure the game owner is also the owner of the animation (team test/roblox player/playtesting). Try testing the animation in an empty baseplate. If it doesn’t work, try deleting the Humanoid and loading the animation f…

im not able to uncrouch and the walk animation won’t play

I don’t know buddy, I checked the code an that must be a problem on your end

[CheddarRius]

Hey, saw this post so I tried my hand at making a very basic crouching script. Let me know if you run into any problems.

--CheddarRius was here
-- Setting up services
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")

--Setting up vars
local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() 
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

-- The player is not crouched by default
local isCrouched = false

--loading idle crouch animation
local idleAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
idleAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_ANIMATION_ID"
local idleTrack = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)
idleTrack.Looped = true
--Set idle animation priority if you need:
--idleTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.YOUR_ANIMATION_PRIORITY

--loading moving crouch animation
local moveAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
moveAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_ANIMATION_ID"
local moveTrack = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(moveAnim)
moveTrack.Looped = true
--Set move animation priority if you need:
--moveTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.YOUR_ANIMATION_PRIORITY

-- Handling idle crouching
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameprocessed)
	-- Check if the input was processed by another script
	if gameprocessed then
		return
	end
	-- Check if the input is for crouching
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C or input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
		if not isCrouched then
			-- Crouch
			isCrouched = true
			hum.WalkSpeed = YOUR_CROUCH_SPEED -- Set custom crouch speed
			hum.JumpHeight = YOUR_CROUCH_JUMP_HEIGHT -- Set custom crouch jump height
			idleTrack:Play(.3)
		else
			-- Stand up
			isCrouched = false
			hum.WalkSpeed = YOUR_WALK_SPEED -- Set default walking speed (default is 16)
			hum.JumpHeight = YOUR_JUMP_HEIGHT --Set default jump height (default is 5)
			idleTrack:Stop(.3)
			moveTrack:Stop(.3)
		end
	end
end)

-- Handling crouch moving
RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if isCrouched and hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0.1 and not hum.Sit and hum.FloorMaterial ~= Enum.Material.Air then
		-- Player is moving while crouched
		if not moveTrack.IsPlaying then
			moveTrack:Play(.4)
		end
	else
		-- Player is not moving or not crouched
		if moveTrack.IsPlaying then
			moveTrack:Stop(.4)
		end
	end
end)

--If your animations are children of the script (Put instead of line 16-26) (Ignore if not):
--[[
local idleAnim = script.YOUR_ANIMATION_NAME
local idleTrack = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)
idleAnim.Looped = true
idleTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.YOUR_ANIMATION_PRIORITY

local moveIdle = script.YOUR_ANIMATION_NAME
local moveAnim = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(moving)
moveAnim.Looped = true
moveTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.YOUR_ANIMATION_PRIORITY
