Help with animating a tool (motor6D)

[gunipotys (bread_DETONATOR)]

1. I’m trying to animate my tool

2. The base position is weird

3. I tried searching on internet and fixing the issue myself

video :

my script :

local Tool = script.Parent
local Character = workspace:WaitForChild(Tool.Parent.Parent.Name)
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Gun
local PreHoldAnim = Tool:WaitForChild("PreHoldAnim")
local HoldAnim = Tool:WaitForChild("HoldAnim")
local ShootAnim = Tool:WaitForChild("ShootAnim")
local PreHoldTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(PreHoldAnim)
local HoldTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(HoldAnim)
local ShootTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(ShootAnim)

local BodyAttach = Tool.BodyAttach.BodyAttach
--local BasePosition = Vector3.new(math.rad(90),math.rad(-180),math.rad(0))

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	BodyAttach.Part0 = Character.RightHand
	--BodyAttach.Enabled = true
	
	--PreHoldTrack:Play()
	--PreHoldAnim.Stopped:Wait()
	HoldTrack:Play()
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	
	--BodyAttach.Enabled = false
	
	HoldTrack:Stop()
end)

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	ShootTrack:Play()
end)

By the way, I don’t use a handle

Does anybody know how to make the very first position (the motor 6D when it get connected to the hand) as I want ??

There is no way to fix that to my knowledge, the weapon will always stick to the arm. Anyway, you could make a stance animation and play it or add the Motor6D when the animation is supposed to play.

[narutoiiia (AuthenticatedTroll)]

Use Anim:AdjustSpeed(0) to pause stance.

I mean, is it possible to change the position and orientation of the motor6D when it just got linked so the orientation and position looks normal ?

[narutoiiia (AuthenticatedTroll)]

You can, I believe there is a property like C0 or C1 but that’s really just stressing and inaccurate to depend on.

[narutoiiia (AuthenticatedTroll)]

In your case I’d pause the stance animation.

[gunipotys (bread_DETONATOR)]

Pause the animation ? Could you explain ? (sorry if I’m annoying, I’m just really bad)

[narutoiiia (AuthenticatedTroll)]

There is no need to consider yourself annoying.

By pausing animation I meant whenever the animation is about to end you would use anim:AdjustSpeed(0) to make it stop moving. So it will make it stop at a specific time.

Example

Anim:Play()

wait(0.9)
Anim:AdjustSpeed(0)

Last question, is there a way to make the animation happen without any linear interpolation ? So it directly go to the wanted position.

Edit : Thanks a lot for your help !

[narutoiiia (AuthenticatedTroll)]

I don’t quite understand but I will assume you don’t want the hand to move this slow. You can adjust the animation keyFrame to the very beginning of the editor and it should play instantly

[narutoiiia (AuthenticatedTroll)]

If you’d like further assistance let me know.

[gunipotys (bread_DETONATOR)]

Oh, sorry if i wasn’t clear enough. My idea is to make happen the animation without any interpolation. So it moves to the target position directly / instantly.

Or maybe it’s possible to set the C1 of the motor6D with some script to the wanted default position without affecting the animations.

Is that clear enough ? If not, please make me know.

Edit : Thank you !!

[narutoiiia (AuthenticatedTroll)]

Yes what I said would do that instantly. The KeyFrame at the very beginning is the starting position, meaning there is nothing to animate and it will instantly go there.
