How to apply humanoid animations

How do I give basic humanoid animations to the character? And make sure the character can’t move it too.

Sorry, but i dont understand you

#3

Are you referring to the animate script?
You can use this npc and change the animations if you want:

#4

:LoadAnimation() and AnimationPriority.

For an example script, it could look something like this:

-- LocalScript inside of StarterCharacterScripts

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- get the local player
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- get the character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") -- get the humanoid

local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") -- find the animator

if not animator then -- animator not found, create new animator
    animator = Instance.new("Animator")
    animator.Parent = humanoid
end

local animation = animator:LoadAnimation(YOUR_ANIMATION_HERE) -- path to your Animation object

Animation.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action -- highest priority (will override everything)
Animation:Play() -- plays the animation

Best practice to use the player’s Animator, and not the Humanoid for :LoadAnimation(). :LoadAnimation() for the Humanoid is deprecated.

Is there a way to make it so other players can’t move the NPC? I still want the animations to play.

#6

Sure, if you use this npc, create server script for everyone to see.

#7

No I mean to make the npc not movable. If I go to the humanoid, no collisions should occur. I should be able to go through the NPC.

Google is your friend.

add animations to the NPC and anchor the HumanoidRootPart, so the NPC is still going to have animations but not be moved :slightly_smiling_face:

i am concerned about the going through NPC part lol

What @P1X3L_K1NG said.

And it can also be done with PlatformStand.

That didn’t do anything and HumanoidRootPart anchored on disables the animations.

#12

Try setting your AnimationPriority. Otherwise, create a CollisionGroup for your players and another for your NPC. Then disable the collisions for those two groups.

#13

What is the problem?
The humanoid can move and will not collide with players.
What does not work?

#14

Fixed by doing

local physics = game:GetService("PhysicsService") 
physics:CreateCollisionGroup("playersGroup")
physics:CreateCollisionGroup("npcsGroup")
--Sets up the collision groups ^
physics:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("playersGroup", "npcsGroup", false)
--Making the groups cancollide false
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(char)
		for _, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") then
				physics:SetPartCollisionGroup(v, "playersGroup")
			end
		end
	end)
end)
--waits for char to load in then sets its parts to the collision group

for _, v in pairs(workspace:WaitForChild("Chefs"):GetChildren()) do
	for _, part in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
		if part:IsA("BasePart") then
			physics:SetPartCollisionGroup(part, "npcsGroup")
		end
	end
end
