How do I play an animation when the player touches the part?

steveisoff · September 14, 2021, 2:36am

In the most recent screenshot I didn’t see any errors that occurred recently so I think you’re ok now on the errors part

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 2:37am

Did that, still doesn’t work. Anything else?

steveisoff · September 14, 2021, 2:38am

What is every single line of code that you wrote for the animation?

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 2:39am

It’s all in the two screenshots above, the animation is 4 seconds long.

steveisoff · September 14, 2021, 2:41am

I think Ik what’s wrong. In the AnimationPart I think you need to hit the plus sign and add an animation. (I don’t remember if you can do that. Sadly I’m in my phone rn so I can’t check). Keep the scripts the same but add the animation to the part

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 2:42am

Ok, I just did that and copy and pasted the animation id but nothing happens when I touch the part.

Do I have to unanchor it?

steveisoff · September 14, 2021, 2:43am

Do you have a script that checks if the part is touched?

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 2:43am

Yep, that part is in Anything which is the script under the part.

steveisoff · September 14, 2021, 2:46am

Well I’m out of ideas. Hopefully you find someone that can help. Good luck!

The touched function gets the part that touched it, not the model. so you have to get the Parent of the part first before finding the animation. EDIT: @xander5610 replied to the wrong person
So the code would be:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
   local parent = hit.Parent
   local script = parent:FindFirstChild("AnimationScript")
   if script then
      script.BoolValueName.Value = true
   end
end)

When did I reply to the wrong person?

      script.BoolValueName.Value = true
   end

Just tried this, doesn’t work.

Did you replace BoolValueName with the name of the bool value? Also,
i meant that I replied to the wrong person

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 3:06am

Yep, I changed the name of my BoolValue and then changed BoolValueName to the name of my BoolValue. I also made the transparency 0 instead of 1.

NeoGaming_RBLX · September 14, 2021, 3:10am

Can I see the output and your current code?

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 3:11am

Here:

NeoGaming_RBLX · September 14, 2021, 3:13am

I don’t understand why thing is not valid. Let me see the properties (and probably children) of Thing please. also why is there an animation inside the touched part?

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 3:14am

Here’s the properties:

It’s probably because value isn’t checked… right?

NeoGaming_RBLX · September 14, 2021, 3:16am

No, that means the value is false. I don’t know why this happens. I’ll check it later.

xander5610 · September 14, 2021, 3:19am

Well I gtg now so I’ll be back tomorrow if you think of anything.

NeoGaming_RBLX · September 14, 2021, 3:27am

NeoGaming_RBLX:

script.BoolValueName:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
 local Bool = script:FindFirstChild("BoolValueName")
 if Bool then
  if Bool.Value == true then
       local animation = script.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.AnimationName)
       animation:Play()
   end
 end
end)

Try using find first child when finding the bool value.
