Ever had problems with changing the players walk animation while their walking? Not anymore!

Hi, my name is Roby336. And I’m happy to share this script with the community.
…
First, before you do anything, you’re going to have to make a local Script in StartCharacterScripts
So go to StarterPlayer: StarterPlayerScripts, and add a new instance.

Should look like this --vv-v-vv–

Then you’re going to rename it “Animate”! this is very important .
Once This is all done Paste my lovely script in it, and boom everything should work.
Here it is

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local pose = "Standing"

local userNoUpdateOnLoopSuccess, userNoUpdateOnLoopValue = pcall(function() return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserNoUpdateOnLoop") end)
local userNoUpdateOnLoop = userNoUpdateOnLoopSuccess and userNoUpdateOnLoopValue

local userEmoteToRunThresholdChange do
	local success, value = pcall(function()
		return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserEmoteToRunThresholdChange")
	end)
	userEmoteToRunThresholdChange = success and value
end

local userPlayEmoteByIdAnimTrackReturn do
	local success, value = pcall(function()
		return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserPlayEmoteByIdAnimTrackReturn2")
	end)
	userPlayEmoteByIdAnimTrackReturn = success and value
end

local AnimationSpeedDampeningObject = script:FindFirstChild("ScaleDampeningPercent")

		-- Non-default emotes
		playEmote(emote, EMOTE_TRANSITION_TIME, Humanoid)

		if userPlayEmoteByIdAnimTrackReturn then
			return true, currentAnimTrack
		else
			return true
		end
	end
	
	-- Return false to indicate that the emote could not be played
	return false
end

if Character.Parent ~= nil then
	-- initialize to idle
	playAnimation("idle", 0.1, Humanoid)
	pose = "Standing"
end

-- loop to handle timed state transitions and tool animations
while Character.Parent ~= nil do
	local _, currentGameTime = wait(0.1)
	stepAnimate(currentGameTime)
end

Now, this script works when every you change the player’s walk Id it will reload the Walk Animation and should play smoothly. But if you do find any bugs or problems please do tell me about what happened, I’ve only come up with this solution today.
Anyways that’s it, hope you enjoy this script, and that it helps!

Good day to you.

I’m still making one that works for idle animation if yall want that too…

I personally don’t think forking the default scripts when it isn’t strictly necessary is that great of an idea since roblox can change the animate script at any time, and i’m worried it may cause any game using this to have an outdated animate script.

Instead i’d just have a separate script or module that simply plays the intended animation on a higher priority based on weather you are walking or not.

And if you strictly want to change the ID I think you can just set the rootpart velocity to 0 or trigger the Humanoid.Landed state manually after you change the ID, those should refresh the animation (should work on idles too).

Thanks for the advice, but I think I might stick to this since it only modifies 5 lines of code that can be changed, or copied&pasted into the current Roblox Animate script. Thanks for the reply!
Just wanted to post this since I see a lot of people have problems with it and no solution.

Thank you for the contribution, may I ask what exactly you have changed in order to achieve this?

roby336 · December 4, 2021, 3:09am

So Check inline" 572-588" in there it will say this

--Custom
function OnRunIdChanged()
	if pose == "Running" then
		stopAllAnimations()
		wait(0.1)
		playAnimation("walk", 0.2, Humanoid)
	end
end

function OnIdleIdChanged()
	if pose == "Standing" then
		stopAllAnimations()
		wait(0.1)
		playAnimation("idle", 0.2, Humanoid)
	end
end
---

And you would paste that under this

-- STATE CHANGE HANDLERS

and in between line “744-745”

script:WaitForChild("run").RunAnim.Changed:connect(OnRunIdChanged)
script:WaitForChild("walk").WalkAnim.Changed:connect(OnRunIdChanged)
script:WaitForChild("idle").Animation1.Changed:connect(OnIdleIdChanged)

and this would go below -- connect events in line 743

Now I recommend that everyone does what I am saying here because I just tested my script in a new world with R15 and it didn’t work well, but it was easy to fix. Which I’m about to tell you how you would fix that.

First, if you really want this to work, and you’re having problems right now with the script. Just do a quick reset on your whole script, IF it’s not working.
To do this “Reset” follow the steps Below--V--

Go into a game with a default animate script: AS SHOWN BELOW.

Start game once new folder is loaded,

Once ingame go to the workspace in Explorer

Next go into/open your character: mine is “Roby336”, Then copy the animate script

Then stop the game

and paste that “Animate” script you just copied into the StarterCharacterScripts!

Once you have that pasted in, go into the script, and it time to edit it!

All you have to do is paste the code I have provided you with above^^^: And make sure you paste it in the lines I said to paste them, or it might not work.

I hope you find this helpful, cause I’m quint tired from typing

I’ve updated it to work with idle animation changed as well, enjoy

roby336 · December 5, 2021, 3:49am

I’ve updated one line to work with the run and walk animation change!

holipada2 · November 27, 2022, 1:48pm

I tried this, and now the animations wont even play

roby336 · December 19, 2022, 10:28am

Roblox’s Character Animation Script has probably changed over the years. You must go inside the current animation script and edit it yourself for the desired outcome.
