Does anyone know where the code is to stop the dance animations when you move in the roblox animate script?

Title. I’m trying to make it so that you can move while playing a dance animation but I can’t find where the code is to stop the animation once you move. Please Help!

The code I added:

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
	local emote = ""
	if msg == "/e griddy" then
		emote = griddy
	end

	if ( emoteNames[emote] ~= nil) then
		playAnimation(emote, 0.1, Humanoid)
	end

end)
#2

I believe the problem is that when you set emote, griddy isn’t a string

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
	local emote = ""
	if msg == "/e griddy" then
		emote = "griddy"
	end

	if ( emoteNames[emote] ~= nil) then
		playAnimation(emote, 0.1, Humanoid)
	end

end)
#3

That can’t be it, I set the parameters of griddy earlier in the script.

#4

Change the animation priority to action priority, this can be achieved by accessing the animation priority property

AnimationTrackName.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

this should allow the animation to play while the character is moving

#5

I’m not sure why you would have a variable for it when you set it inside of the if statement, but back on topic, could I see the playAnimation function? It probably has something in there as the problem.

#7 
function playAnimation(animName, transitionTime, humanoid) 
		
	local roll = math.random(1, animTable[animName].totalWeight) 
	local origRoll = roll
	local idx = 1
	while (roll > animTable[animName][idx].weight) do
		roll = roll - animTable[animName][idx].weight
		idx = idx + 1
	end
--		print(animName .. " " .. idx .. " [" .. origRoll .. "]")
	local anim = animTable[animName][idx].anim

	-- switch animation		
	if (anim ~= currentAnimInstance) then
		
		if (currentAnimTrack ~= nil) then
			currentAnimTrack:Stop(transitionTime)
			currentAnimTrack:Destroy()
		end

		currentAnimSpeed = 1.0
	
		-- load it to the humanoid; get AnimationTrack
		currentAnimTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
		currentAnimTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Core
		 
		-- play the animation
		currentAnimTrack:Play(transitionTime)
		currentAnim = animName
		currentAnimInstance = anim

		-- set up keyframe name triggers
		if (currentAnimKeyframeHandler ~= nil) then
			currentAnimKeyframeHandler:disconnect()
		end
		currentAnimKeyframeHandler = currentAnimTrack.KeyframeReached:connect(keyFrameReachedFunc)
		
	end

end

Change Enum.AnimationPriority.Core to Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

#9

So you want to stop the animation once your character moves?

#10

No, the opposite. It stops the animation when I move but I don’t want it to.

#11

Oh okay, then do as @An6ad said. Changing the animation priority to Action makes it so other animations don’t play over your animation, which I believe is the problem here

#12

Doesn’t seem to work. I tried to make it the current animation priority set to action while the griddy was playing but it still didn’t work.

#13

Is this what you have right now

function playAnimation(animName, transitionTime, humanoid) 
		
	local roll = math.random(1, animTable[animName].totalWeight) 
	local origRoll = roll
	local idx = 1
	while (roll > animTable[animName][idx].weight) do
		roll = roll - animTable[animName][idx].weight
		idx = idx + 1
	end
--		print(animName .. " " .. idx .. " [" .. origRoll .. "]")
	local anim = animTable[animName][idx].anim

	-- switch animation		
	if (anim ~= currentAnimInstance) then
		
		if (currentAnimTrack ~= nil) then
			currentAnimTrack:Stop(transitionTime)
			currentAnimTrack:Destroy()
		end

		currentAnimSpeed = 1.0
	
		-- load it to the humanoid; get AnimationTrack
		currentAnimTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
		currentAnimTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
		 
		-- play the animation
		currentAnimTrack:Play(transitionTime)
		currentAnim = animName
		currentAnimInstance = anim

		-- set up keyframe name triggers
		if (currentAnimKeyframeHandler ~= nil) then
			currentAnimKeyframeHandler:disconnect()
		end
		currentAnimKeyframeHandler = currentAnimTrack.KeyframeReached:connect(keyFrameReachedFunc)
		
	end

end

That is the playAnimation function, yes.
