Hey, Y’all,
I wanted to make another tutorial on animating a model as the one we already have is just basic, let’s go!
Step 1: Grouping the parts
For example, let’s say you have a simple model with multiple parts, like so:
Group the parts into one model, like this:
Step 2: Unique names for all parts
Due to animating conditions, please rename all parts inside the model to unique names such as:
Step 3: HumanoidRootPart and Humanoid
-
Create a part, name it “HumanoidRootPart”, set the transparency to 1, can collide off, and anchored true. Unanchor all parts except the humanoid root part.
-
Put the brick, kinda over the model like so:
-
Insert a humanoid in the model like so:
Search “Humanoid” and click it.
At the end, you should have:
Step 4: Rigging the model
If you don’t have already, make sure to install this plugin.
When installed, select the model and press the plugin button.
Then rig it, if you don’t know what to do, this is what I’ve done:
If you REALLY don’t know what to do, just select the HumanoidRootPart and all the other parts and press the “Create Joints” button on the top right:
If you followed the steps correctly, you should have some kind of skeleton.
Exit the plugin
Step 5: Animating
Open the animation editor, select the model, and animate your life away!
Once you’re done, I recommend putting the animation priority to either movement or action.
Then export it to ROBLOX and copy the ID.
Step 6: The final stage, animation and scripting
Create an animation instance and insert the ID into it:
Insert the animation ID:
Once that’s done, here’s the code to run it:
local Animation = script.Parent -- If the animation instance is it's parent
wait(1)
local LoadedTrack = Animation.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation) -- Load the animation
LoadedTrack:Play() -- Actually play the animation
To use this code, put the script here:
