Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I am trying to make different animations play through a folder while I take Damage form another player. right now I have a script that plays the one animation but I want to loop different animations when hit if anyone can help me thank you.

Here’s what I have so far

Script

#2

try assigning a variable to a random number

example:
local value = math.random(1,3)

if value == 1 then
--play anim 1
elseif value == 2 then
--play anim 2
elseif value == 3 then
--play anim 3
end

Also in the game, its not in startercharacterscripts, each script in startercharacterscripts are located in the character. I would instead recommend putting the animation folder in replicated storage and just leave the script in startercharacterscripts.
try implementing my example script like this:

if LastKnownHealth > Humanoid.Health then
print("Playing") 
local value = math.random(1,3) --change the 3 to how many animations there are
if value == 1 then
script.Parent.Parent.ReplicatedStorage.animationFolder.Ani:Play()
end
end

Thank you very much I will note that next time i thought they just had to be in CharacterScripts cause it’s coming directly from the character

For some reason does not work it doesn’t print errors either

#7

try doing this

if value == 1 then
local anim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation.Ani)
anim:Play()
end
#8

Very strange still doesn’t work :confused:

I see the problem, i have edited my previous response. See if it works.

#10

Odd idk if it’s Outdated script or what but it just won’t work

#11

try this script

    local hum = script.Parent.Humanoid
    local currenthealth = hum.Health
    hum.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
    if health>currenthealth then
    print("Playing")
    local value = math.random(1,3)
    if value == 1 then
    local anim = hum:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation.ani)
anim.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
    anim:Play()
    end
    currenthealth = health
    end
    end)
#12

Sadly still doesn’t work :grimacing:

#13

where is the script located? Because I’m assuming its in startercharacterscripts.

#14

Yes it is in StarterCharacterScripts.

#15

ive edited my previous script to hopefully make it work

#16

Yeah bro i’m really not sure to be honest this should work and I don’t see any other way why it wouldn’t

#17

does your animation even have an animation id? go to view → properties which opens the properties menu. Then highlight the animation and check its animation id.

#18

Yes it does I have tested multiple animation id’s

also i just realized that i made a mistake

it should be:

if health<currenthealth then

and not

if health>currenthealth then
