Help with animation script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have an issue with my animation LocalScript that is meant to control the moving and idle crawl animation.

ENABLED = nil
MOVING = false
CRAWL_KEY = Enum.KeyCode.C
-- move: 6579821142
-- idle: 6579822187

local GenInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local GenChar = script.Parent
local GenHumanoid = GenChar:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local MoveAnimation = script:WaitForChild("crawl_move")
local IdleAnimation = script:WaitForChild("crawl_move")

local LoadMoveAnim = GenHumanoid:LoadAnimation(MoveAnimation)
local LoadIdleAnim = GenHumanoid:LoadAnimation(MoveAnimation)

GenInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(GenInput)
	if GenInput.KeyCode == CRAWL_KEY and ENABLED == false then
		LoadIdleAnim:Play()
		ENABLED = true
	else
		if ENABLED == true and (GenInput.KeyCode == CRAWL_KEY) then
			LoadIdleAnim:Stop()
			ENABLED = false
		end
	end
	if GenInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A or GenInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D and ENABLED == true then
		LoadMoveAnim:Play()
		MOVING = true
		ENABLED = true
	else
		if GenInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A or GenInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D and ENABLED == false then
			LoadMoveAnim:Stop()
			MOVING = false
			--ENABLED = false
		end
	end
end)


When I move to the right (D key) it moved as expected, but when I move to the left (A key) it always runs the crawl animation without me pressing C, and it continues like this until I press C and move to the right, then it happens again when I go left, etc.

Maybe try this for the InputBegan?

GenInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(GenInput)
	if GenInput.KeyCode == CRAWL_KEY then
		if not ENABLED then
			LoadIdleAnim:Play()
			ENABLED = true
		else
			LoadIdleAnim:Stop()
			ENABLED = false
		end
	elseif (GenInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A or GenInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D) then
		if ENABLED then
			LoadMoveAnim:Play()
			MOVING = true
			--ENABLED = true
		else
			LoadMoveAnim:Stop()
			MOVING = false
			--ENABLED = false
		end
	end
end)

Could be some conflictions with your statements

#3

i think its cause of the if enabled == true part, maybe add a “not” or ~= statement, so you can check if the Crawl key is NOT pressed in the part where you do the thing with pressing A

#4

Your code worked for my current issue, but when I press C again to stand up, I have to press C then move with A or D for it to fully work, is there any way to fix this?

#5

Could be that the Move animation is still playing, in the code for when you pressed the crawl key and it is enabled, change this

LoadIdleAnim:Stop()
ENABLED = false

To this

LoadIdleAnim:Stop()
LoadMoveAnim:Stop()
ENABLED = false
