Help understanding what animation categories do for my ViewModel code (core, idle, movement, action...etc)

Please let me know if this is the wrong category. Thank you!

Ok, I have a question about the animation categories like the title implies.
does it really matter what category they are in??

Im working on a ViewModel system, and I have most of it done, just need the animations to play, but I’m not sure if the categories really mean anything? Say I’m making a running or walking animation should that be movement, or is that something else? How do I know which category an animation should go into? I’m kinda confused thanks for any help!!

btw im using Roblox’s default animation editor in Avatar tab (not sure if that means anything).

Howdy,

If I understand what you are saying, the below documentation will help you understand. I’m gonna leave it here for you. If you have additional questions boss, let me know. I’ll attempt to explain.
