How to turn my player character into an Npc character?

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 5:58pm

Delete the animation script you just added. And do this:

LocalScript

game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
pcall(function()
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animate").Disabled = true
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animate").Disabled = false
end)

Script

local prompt = script.Parent

prompt.TriggerEnded:Connect(function(player)

	print(player)

	local gamePassId = 22080195 -- Gamepass ID here

	local userId = player.userId

	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId,gamePassId) == false then

		print("Player Does Not Have Gamepass")

		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId)

	else

		print("Player Has Gamepass")

		local character = player.Character
		character.Archivable = true

		local clone = character:Clone()

		clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)

		local newcharLocation = game:GetService("ServerStorage").KitClones.NoobKit

		local newchar = newcharLocation:Clone()

		newchar.Parent = workspace

		newchar.Name = player.Name

		player.Character = newchar

		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)
		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false
		local LS = script:WaitForChild("LocalScript"):Clone()
		LS.Parent = player.Character
		LS.Disabled = false
	end

end)

If it doesn’t work, then re-add the animation script, and try again.

Nope, animation still doesnt work. My noob character is just sstanding straight ;-;

The_flyingMan716 · November 13, 2021, 6:05pm

for npc, the simple method is you need to convert animate localscript to server script
also remove emotes code inside it.

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 6:05pm

Replace the Animate script with this: Animate.rbxm (6.5 KB)

To add: Right click NPC character > Insert from file…

Also:

LocalScript

game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 6:07pm

Can you show me an example of what you mean? I don’t really understand

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 6:08pm

I already converted to server script, in my last post.

But…
To convert to server script, you would just copy the source of the LocalScript and paste it into a server script.

It really depends on what you are trying to do with a script. For example, you would have to find a Player, instead of using game.Players.LocalPlayer because it’s not a LocalScript.

The_flyingMan716 · November 13, 2021, 6:09pm

alright cool. you save me from explaining

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 6:10pm

This still does not work, my character still does not have any animation

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 6:12pm

Just follow these instructions instead.

After converting, change the original server script to:

Script

local prompt = script.Parent

prompt.TriggerEnded:Connect(function(player)

	print(player)

	local gamePassId = 22080195 -- Gamepass ID here

	local userId = player.userId

	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId,gamePassId) == false then

		print("Player Does Not Have Gamepass")

		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId)

	else

		print("Player Has Gamepass")

		local character = player.Character
		character.Archivable = true

		local clone = character:Clone()

		clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)

		local newcharLocation = game:GetService("ServerStorage").KitClones.NoobKit

		local newchar = newcharLocation:Clone()

		newchar.Parent = workspace

		newchar.Name = player.Name

		player.Character = newchar

		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)
		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false
		local LS = script:WaitForChild("LocalScript"):Clone()
		LS.Parent = player.Character
		LS.Disabled = false
		pcall(function()
			player.Character.Animate.Disabled = true
			player.Character.Animate.Disabled = false
		end)
	end

end)

If you’re all confused and stuff:

Just do that and then, change the proximity prompt script:

Script

local prompt = script.Parent

prompt.TriggerEnded:Connect(function(player)

	print(player)

	local gamePassId = 22080195 -- Gamepass ID here

	local userId = player.userId

	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId,gamePassId) == false then

		print("Player Does Not Have Gamepass")

		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId)

	else

		print("Player Has Gamepass")

		local character = player.Character
		character.Archivable = true

		local clone = character:Clone()

		clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)

		local newcharLocation = game:GetService("ServerStorage").KitClones.NoobKit

		local newchar = newcharLocation:Clone()

		newchar.Parent = workspace

		newchar.Name = player.Name

		player.Character = newchar

		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)
		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false
		local LS = script:WaitForChild("LocalScript"):Clone()
		LS.Parent = player.Character
		LS.Disabled = false
		pcall(function()
			player.Character.Animate.Disabled = true
			player.Character.Animate.Disabled = false
		end)
	end

end)

Okay so my character has animation now, but the animation is delayed. For example, if I hold W, the animation will only start after about 0.5 seconds. If I tap W very quickly, my character moves, but no animation…

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 6:17pm

I edited the post, check out the part after the line…

The_flyingMan716 · November 13, 2021, 6:18pm

wait, i though you want to animate an npc without any player controllinng it. my mistake, use localscript instead

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 6:20pm

no animation if i change the animate script to a localscript

The_flyingMan716 · November 13, 2021, 6:23pm

now, i know the reason. after look at the animate script.
it is because the script is for R6 not R15

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 6:24pm

Oh. Ok…

Replace the animate script with this: AnimateLocal.rbxm (6.7 KB)

Do this:

LocalScript << Remember inside of the proximity script

game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
pcall(function()
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animate").Disabled = true
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animate").Disabled = false
end)

Proximity Script

local prompt = script.Parent

prompt.TriggerEnded:Connect(function(player)

	print(player)

	local gamePassId = 22080195 -- Gamepass ID here

	local userId = player.userId

	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(userId,gamePassId) == false then

		print("Player Does Not Have Gamepass")

		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamePassId)

	else

		print("Player Has Gamepass")

		local character = player.Character
		character.Archivable = true

		local clone = character:Clone()

		clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)

		local newcharLocation = game:GetService("ServerStorage").KitClones.NoobKit

		local newchar = newcharLocation:Clone()

		newchar.Parent = workspace

		newchar.Name = player.Name

		player.Character = newchar

		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = CFrame.new(clone:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Position)
		player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false
		local LS = script:WaitForChild("LocalScript"):Clone()
		LS.Parent = player.Character
		LS.Disabled = false
	end

end)

[EDIT: I ACCIDENTALLY PUT THE WRONG FILE, SO IF IT DIDN’T WORK TRY TO DOWNLOAD AGAIN]

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 6:24pm

@incognitobot_rblx I said to change avatar type to R6 from the beginning…

incognitobot_rblx · November 13, 2021, 6:27pm

also im getting an error:
Workspace.Probloxed123.Animate:739: attempt to index nil with 'Chatted'

the animate script im using is:
Animate.rbxm (9.8 KB)
its for R15

The_flyingMan716 · November 13, 2021, 6:28pm

why me
forgive me

Ioveczour · November 13, 2021, 6:28pm

I accidentally put the wrong script, if you didn’t already notice…
So try again if didn’t work: AnimateLocal.rbxm (6.7 KB)

The_flyingMan716 · November 13, 2021, 6:29pm

you need to remove emote code script
