Custom seat animation being overridden by default

[saddleup_andride (saddle)]

Evening folks, I’m attempting to get a custom seat anim to work, and the default sit animation is messing it up quite a bit. This is my code so far:

local sitAnim = 14689300896 -- make this your animation!
local seat = script.Parent --Link this to the seat
local playingAnim 

local newAnim = Instance.new('Animation')
newAnim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://'..sitAnim


seat.Changed:Connect(function(property)
	if property == 'Occupant' then
		local occupant = seat.Occupant
		if not occupant then if playingAnim then playingAnim:Stop() return end end
		playingAnim = occupant:LoadAnimation(newAnim)
		playingAnim.Priority = "Idle" -- maybe this will fix
		playingAnim.Looped = true -- maybe this will fix
		playingAnim:Play()
	end
end)

and it mostly works, however as stated before, the default animation isn’t going away. The animation itself is set to idle and looped, but I tried it with the script anyway. Any ideas?

Try setting playingAnim.Priority to “Action”. “Action” is the highest form of priority for animations, and should therefore override the normal seating one.

Already tried that, hasn’t made a difference unfortunately. Just tried it again to no effect.

Im no good scripter here, but i heard you can ask chat gpt to tell you the errors you can try that.

I believe you can set an animation track’s weight with track:AdjustWeight(weight). Try doing that, setting it to a higher number, like 20. If not, then make the animation key frame all limbs into that required position.

Hope this helps

Instead of a string, try using Enum.AnimationPriority.

Set the Priority to Action4 (the highest)

playingAnim.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4

Do you have any keyframe on both legs? if not try at least insert one animation keyframe
