Hi,

I was trying to make a sword and I want it to have animations when the player equip it
I added idle animation but I do not know how to change the player’s walking animation
not only the player walk animation but also other animations such as jump, fall, and run.

I try adding when ever the player is moving it will player the walking animation but it turnout
to be bad and glitchy.

thank you in advanced :slight_smile:

I already try that method but it still doesn’t work…

This works but the problem is that i think you have to upload the animations in this way or else it wont play the animation

local HumDesc = Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
HumDesc.ClimbAnimation = 619521311
Humanoid:ApplyDescription(HumDesc)

I think i’ve found the best way

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
	for _, playingTracks in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		playingTracks:Stop(0)
	end
	local Anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)
	Anim:Play()
end)

This will stop the playing animations and then it plays a custom animation

You can find other ways to do it in here: Using Animations | Roblox Creator Documentation

local Anim
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
 local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
 for _, playingTracks in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
	playingTracks:Stop(0)
 end
 Anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)
 Anim:Play()
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
  Anim:Stop()
end)

the script is very glitchy I was going for walk animation first
and it ended up not well
I wanted the walk animation to play when the player is walking
not play the animation when the player is equipping

#11

You can stop the default animations everytime the player jumps or walks and play your custom animation

#12

Like this

humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(state)
 if state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then
  Anim:Play()
 end
end)

Couldn’t he just change the default animation IDs from the script like this?
Only downside is that OP has to do this for every animation that he wants to override. But it is accurate:

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = "rbxassetid//your_id_here"
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1083445855" --default id
end)

it worked what?
i think i did something wrong when i try that solution

#16

it doesnt work for me? It just doesnt update it. i mean it changes the id but the animations dont update.

#17

Or I mean, I ant it to update while im walking, instead of me having the stand still for it to update

#18

that’s because the animate script updates animations when humanoid’s state is changed
so after changing the animations you have to change the humanoid state

example:

Character.Animate.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1083445855"

Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed)

yo, been a hot minute. anyway I can modify this to be a gui instead? i want a walk/run mobile textbutton for those who cant press the shift button. I don’t know how to make it so when you press the button, your animation shall switch

#21

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! FINALLY OMG

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

repeat wait() until Player.Character

local Character = Player.Character

local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)

local Animation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)

tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = “rbxassetid://10478382029”

Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed)

end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = “rbxassetid://10443472990” --default id

Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed)

end)
