I have a knife that was made for R6, and attempted to re-animate it and re-script it for R15. Here’s the code:
sp = script.Parent
r = game:service("RunService")
debris = game:GetService("Debris")
anims = {"OverHeadSwing","LeftSwingFast","RightSwingFast"}
Sounds = {{145180512, "Metal"}, {145180522, "Metal"}, {145180533, "Wood"}, {145180541, "Wood"}, {145180529, "Slash"}, {145180550, "Slash"}}
WoodSounds = {}
MetalSounds = {}
SlashSounds = {}
basedamage = 0
slashdamage = 690
swingdamage = 800
damage = basedamage
sword = sp.Handle
sp.Taunting.Value = false
local UnsheathSound = Instance.new("Sound")
UnsheathSound.SoundId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset/?id=145180523"
UnsheathSound.Parent = sword
UnsheathSound.Volume = 0.5
for _,Sound in pairs(Sounds) do
local S = Instance.new("Sound")
S.SoundId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset/?id=" .. Sound[1]
S.Parent = sword
S.Volume = 1
if Sound[2] == "Wood" then
table.insert(WoodSounds, S)
elseif Sound[2] == "Metal" then
table.insert(MetalSounds, S)
elseif Sound[2] == "Slash" then
table.insert(SlashSounds, S)
end
end
function waitfor(parent,name)
while true do
local child = parent:FindFirstChild(name)
if child ~= nil then
return child
end
wait()
end
end
waitfor(sp,"Taunting")
waitfor(sp,"RunAnim")
local Halt = false;
function blow(hit)
if hit:findFirstChild("IsShield") then
damage = 12
pcall(function()
if hit.IsShield.Value == "Wood" then
WoodSounds[math.random(#WoodSounds)]:Play()
elseif hit.IsShield.Value == "Metal" then
MetalSounds[math.random(#MetalSounds)]:Play()
else
WoodSounds[math.random(#WoodSounds)]:Play()
end
end);
return
end
if Halt then return end;
Halt = true;
if hit.Parent ~= nil then
local humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local vCharacter = sp.Parent
if vCharacter ~= nil then
local vPlayer = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(vCharacter)
if vPlayer ~= nil then
local hum = vCharacter:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid ~= nil then
if hum ~= nil and humanoid ~= hum then
local right_arm = vCharacter:FindFirstChild("RightHand")
if right_arm ~= nil then
local joint = right_arm:FindFirstChild("RightGripAttachment")
if joint ~= nil and (joint.Part0 == sword or joint.Part1 == sword) then
tagHumanoid(humanoid,vPlayer)
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
script.Parent.Handle.Hit:Play()
wait(.3)
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
Halt = false;
end
function tagHumanoid(humanoid,player)
for i,v in ipairs(humanoid:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "creator" then
v:Destroy()
end
end
local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
creator_tag.Value = player
creator_tag.Name = "creator"
creator_tag.Parent = humanoid
debris:AddItem(creator_tag,1)
end
sp.Enabled = true
function onActivated()
if sp.Enabled and not sp.Taunting.Value then
sp.Enabled = false
local character = sp.Parent;
local humanoid = character.Humanoid
if humanoid == nil then
print("Humanoid not found")
return
end
SlashSounds[math.random(#SlashSounds)]:Play()
sp.Handle.Trail.Enabled = true
newanim = anims[math.random(1,#anims)]
while newanim == sp.RunAnim.Value do
newanim = anims[math.random(1,#anims)]
end
sp.RunAnim.Value = newanim
if newanim == "OverHeadSwing" then
damage = swingdamage
else
damage = slashdamage
end
wait(.3)
sp.Handle.Trail.Enabled = false
damage = basedamage
sp.Enabled = true
end
end
function onEquipped()
script.Parent.Handle["Unsheath:Play()"]:Play()
end
sp.Activated:connect(onActivated)
sp.Equipped:connect(onEquipped)
connection = sword.Touched:connect(blow)
But the animations don’t play when I click. And I CONVERTED them into R15, and I have the valid animations, and yet they won’t work.
when your playing an animation in this line of your script
script.Parent.Handle.Hit:Play()
--it should be done like this
local animation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Handle.Hit)
animation:Play()
animation.Stopped:Wait()--you can add this line to wait until the animation is finished playing
It’s supposed to be a random animation of the following: OverheadSwing, LeftSwingFast, and RightSwingFast. If the following picture of code works with R6, it’s gotta work with R15.
to load and play animations you have to do what i said from the looks of that code it seems like that function just handle sound playing,damage and adding trails
Please watch your post bumping. (Posting over and over without keeping all of the words you say in one post.) Anyway, this is the “animation” part of the code.
function onActivated()
if sp.Enabled and not sp.Taunting.Value then
sp.Enabled = false
local character = sp.Parent;
local humanoid = character.Humanoid
if humanoid == nil then
print("Humanoid not found")
return
end
SlashSounds[math.random(#SlashSounds)]:Play()
sp.Handle.Trail.Enabled = true
local newanim = anims[math.random(1,#anims)]
while newanim == sp.RunAnim.Value do
newanim = anims[math.random(1,#anims)]
end
sp.RunAnim.Value = newanim
if newanim == "OverHeadSwing" then
damage = swingdamage
else
damage = slashdamage
end
wait(.3)
sp.Handle.Trail.Enabled = false
damage = basedamage
sp.Enabled = true
end
end
Are you sure there is not a function connected to sp that detects a change in value
--in this line
sp.RunAnim.Value = newanim
--check if there is anywhere in the code that has this:
sp.Changed:Connect(function()
end
--[[
anyways i have told you how to load and play animations
and i'm sure i am correct i have many animations in a project
im working on and thats how you do it.]]--
If you are just going to reject people’s suggestions without trying, don’t post. This thread already lacks enough information as it is. Please read the category guidelines for more information and details on what should be included in a help request.
Dumping an entire script here, especially if it isn’t yours, and saying it doesn’t work isn’t sufficient enough for a thread in this category.
Flag your own post under “Something Else” and ask for it to be deleted, or update your thread with actual information to work off of. Such can include (but is not limited to):
Console errors
Code hierarchy
Animation setup
Owner info (where its being uploaded and/or used at)
Please also use the reply button on a post rather than at the bottom. People can’t see when you reply so they don’t get notifications and have to constantly come back to see if there’s a reply to what they said or not.
Interpret this as a literal error. The object RunAnim isn’t a descendant of StringValue (whatever StringValue is). This is something that can be resolved if you put some time into debugging your code. Please address code issues what you can by yourself first before posting a thread.
It’d be worth investing into the concepts of writing in (Roblox) Lua to help you with this in the future.
that saying you tried to index something thats not a property of a string value, try clicking on that error to go to line in the script with that error
Right here, it loads a random animation.
