How can I create my own player movenent with humanoid?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am currently working on a game with the default R6 character. The problem/issue I ran into is that the default R6 animate script is really messy and extra code I don’t need. What also happens is that some times the players movement animations we made don’t play. So I currently I am wondering how I can create my own movement using the humanoid?

Couldnt you just make a copy of the Animate script and put it in StarterCharacterScripts or something?

or, something like this?

local ffc,wfc = game.FindFirstChild,game.WaitForChild
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(noob)
	noob.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(noob2)
		wfc(noob2 , 'Humanoid')
		
		local abc = ffc(noob2 , 'Animate')
		if abc then
			abc:Destroy()
		end
		myscript.Parent = noob2
	end)
end)

Hello. Are you trying to find a better way to use your animations? I would suggest just scrapping the rblx default animation script and using your own. You could have yours in Server storage then delete the Animate default script and replace it with yours by cloning.

Thats what I mean, but I dont know where to start. With the code I mean.

yes but I want to create my own movement, as in with keys.

In my custom Animate scripts I usually use Humanoid.MoveDirection to determine whether or not the player is idle or moving rather than using user input service. I usually set up with a funciton for loading animations and clearing them. Here is an example.

local char = script.Parent
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local function loadSingularAnimation(anim,priority,speed)
	local animationToLoad = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
	animationToLoad.Priority = priority
	animationToLoad:Play()
	if speed then
		animationToLoad:AdjustSpeed(speed)
	end
end

local function clearAnimationArray(array)
	for _,v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		if table.find(array,v.Name) then
			v:Stop()
		end	
	end
end

local function clearAllAnimations()
	for _,v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		v:Stop()
	end
end

local humanoidDict = {
	["WalkingCalled"] = function(old,new)
		if char:GetAttribute("IsRunning") ~= true and char:GetAttribute("IsIdle") == true then
			char:SetAttribute("IsIdle",false)
			coroutine.wrap(loadSingularAnimation)(script.Walk,Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement)
		end 
	end,
	["JumpingCalled"] = function()
		if char:GetAttribute("IsJumping") == false then
			char:SetAttribute("IsJumping",true)
			coroutine.wrap(loadSingularAnimation)(script.Jump,Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement,1.2)
		end
	end,
	["JumpingEnded"] = function()
		char:SetAttribute("IsJumping",false)
	end,
	[Vector3.new(0,0,0)] = function()
		local clearArray = {"Walk","Run"}
		char:SetAttribute("IsIdle",true)
		coroutine.wrap(clearAnimationArray)(clearArray)
	end,
	["RunningCheck"] = function()
		if char:GetAttribute("IsRunning") == true and char:GetAttribute("IsAiming") == false then
			coroutine.wrap(loadSingularAnimation)(script.Run,Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement,1.4)
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = runningSpeed
		elseif char:GetAttribute("IsRunning") == false then
			local clearArray = {"Run"}
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = defaultWalkSpeed
			coroutine.wrap(clearAnimationArray)(clearArray)
		end
	end,
}

Attributes are really helpful in my case since I’m using custom rigs. You can do this for yours as well.

Note: I cleared the animations on the humanoid but that should actually be done on the animator as any other method is deprecated

How do I run this correctly? Like as in calling the functions when needed to play the animation.
