Hey guys!

Today, i followed the @Alvin_Blox’s tutorial on how to make pets and following pets.
Everything is working perfectly ! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GHJ-9vmbPE
But i’m trying to animate my pets, my goal is to make an idle animation and a while plr is moving animation.
But first thing first I need to make my first pet animation and I don’t know how can i make this.

What do you understand by “Animating pets”?
I’m speaking about making an animation, not following, if i’m right, I already seen this video and it doesn’t show how to make an animation, like a floating pets wich is moving up and down.

If you’re looking for actually animating specific parts within a pet, I suggest watching this:

I use this plugin for quickly rigging stuff together:

I rigged my parts but when I move them into the animation editor plugin, they doesn’t move but there is a “shadow”:

The blue squares are the “Shadows”.
It’s like replicated squares :c
I don’t understand why it is doing this :confused:
Is it possible that I have this issue cuz my parts are welds by a weldconstraints?

I don’t know about the when idle and moving, but if you can add a script making the pet follow a player, try using a script sort of like this:

while 2+2 == 4 = true do
-- add a play animation for your animation here
end

And Viola! You should have an animation that runs forever.

Mhhh, the problem isn’t the script.
It how can I make the animation.
When I add a humanoid in the pet, and when I rig my parts, in the animation editor, when i move the parts to create the animation, it moves blue squares like in the screen I uploaded before :confused:

I am new to weldparts and that. I’m sorry, i have no idea what’s wrong here

Here is a video I used to animate some pets a while back. In the video they show how they Rig their pet. Hope this helped! :smiley:

I think you can actually use the moon animator plugin and add a rig to anything.
