[KiwiVR45 (d_d)]

im trying to animate a custom rig i made,

i dont know how to animate him, or make him jump and swim.
he is fully rigged with idle and walk anims

i have looked on google and devforum, found nothing

[FroDev1002 (FroDev)]

animate it the same way you make animations for everything, then get the default animation script thats in a rig and use it to change the animations

click on “Animation Editor” to the very right

You can only animate models with an AnimationController or Animator, make sure you have those in the model. To open the animation editor, click the Avatar tab, Click Animation Editor, then click your character model. Make sure the parts in your model aren’t anchored.

i followed the tutorial but it just walks in place,

i tried connecting a print to the running event but it only prints 3 times when the game starts, and he doesnt jump, help pls.

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local walkanim = script:WaitForChild("Walk")
local walkanimtrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(walkanim)
humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	print("Running")
	if speed > 0 then
		if not walkanimtrack.IsPlaying then
			print("play")
		walkanimtrack:Play()
		end
	else
		if walkanimtrack.IsPlaying then
			print("stop")
			walkanimtrack:Stop()
		end
	end
end)
