Hey guys i need help im trying to know how how to play animations on characters like in Piggy Cutscenes
heres the starting cutscene script local MainCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local MyCharacter = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local CameraFolder = game.Workspace.CamFolder

–[[
FUNCTIONS:
]]

function InterpolateCamera(StartCamera, Focus, Duration)–Example: InterpolateCamera(CameraFolder.Cam1, CameraFolder.Cam2, 2)-~-~-~-~First decide your camera, then decide where the camera will look at.
MainCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
MainCamera:Interpolate(StartCamera.CFrame, Focus.CFrame, Duration)
end
local function WriteDialog(object,text)
for i = 1,#text,1 do
object.Text = string.sub(text,1,i)
wait(0.02)
end
end
function PlayNPCAnimation(Character, AnimationID)–Example: PlayNPCAnimation(game.Workspace.Bob, “rbxassetid://000000”)
for i, v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA(“Humanoid”) then
local Human = v
local AnimationLoaded = v:LoadAnimation(AnimationID)
if Character:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”) then
Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
else
print(“ERROR: Your character don’t have a HumanoidRootPart! You need to fix it!”)
end
AnimationLoaded:Play()
end
end
end
function SetTalkingCharacter(CharacterName, CharacterColor3fromRGBTextColor)–Example: SetTalkingCharacter(“Bob”, Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255))
script.Parent.Parent.CutsceneFrame.CharacterName.Text = CharacterName
script.Parent.Parent.CutsceneFrame.CharacterName.TextColor3 = CharacterColor3fromRGBTextColor
script.Parent.Parent.CutsceneFrame.DialogText.TextColor3 =CharacterColor3fromRGBTextColor
end

function Fade(String_In_Out)–Example: Fade(“In”) [DARK SCREEN] / Fade(“Out”) [FREE SCREEN].
local fadeGui = script.Parent.Parent.FadeFrame
local ts = game:GetService(“TweenService”)
if String_In_Out == “In” then
fadeGui.Visible = true
ts:Create(fadeGui, TweenInfo.new(1), {BackgroundTransparency = 0}):Play()
end
if String_In_Out == “Out” then
fadeGui.Visible = true
ts:Create(fadeGui, TweenInfo.new(1), {BackgroundTransparency = 1}):Play()
end
end

function PlaySound(SoundName, Volume, BoolLoop_True_False)–Example: PlaySound(“Infiltration”, 1, True) [WILL PLAY IN VOLUME 1, AND WILL REPEAT, WARNING: THE THEME HAVE TO BE IN THE “THEMES” FOLDER!!]

end
function StopSound(SoundName, StringTweenType)–Example: StopSound(“Infiltration”, “Tweening”)[WILL STOP THE SOUND BY TWEENING] or StopSound(“Infiltration”, “JustStop”)[WILL STOP THE SOUND IMMEDIATELY]
local sound = script.Parent.Parent.Themes:FindFirstChild(SoundName)
if StringTweenType == “Tweening” then
local ts = game:GetService(“TweenService”)
ts:Create(sound, TweenInfo.new(5), {Volume = 0}):Play()
end
if StringTweenType == “JustStop” then
sound:Stop()
end

end
local MyEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.CutscenesRemotes.StartCutscene–Set the remote event for the cutscene start.

function PlayCutscene()
MyCharacter.Head.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,0,0)–Change the position that the character will teleport to!

script.Parent.Parent.FadeFrame.BackgroundTransparency = 0
wait(2)

guys is anyone here i need help

Hello, if you are trying to load an animation are you loading it to the humanoid. I’m pretty sure you have to use animation controller under humanoid now

ok how would i do that
can you give me a tutorial plz

#6

so what place do i put the bottom script at
workspace
starter Gui
Sever script service

#7

do an Instance.new(“Animator”) and parent it to Humanoid

 local function playAnimationFromServer(character, animation)
      local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
      if humanoid then
      -- need to use animation object for server access
      local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
      if animator then
      local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
      animationTrack:Play()
      return animationTrack
      end
   end
end

-- call the function when you want to play animation
--playAnimationFromServer(playercharacter, animation)
#8

I’m pretty sure humanoid already has an animator in its descendants

#9

not sure since I just did this:

if Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") then
		print("FOUND")
end

and it didn’t print

#10

? I have never put the animator in since it arrived and it seems to be there for me

#11

can u share a sample file cause i never seen it as a descendant

#12

I put this in a local script and a script in starter character and it worked

wait(1)
print(script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator)
#13

weird I get it to print but when I try to assign a local variable == to it, it says it doesn’t exist

edit nvm it doesn’t even print, i think I was printing my instance.new()

idk whats up but ill stick to just instance.new’ing it

	Animation.Parent = Humanoid
	print(Humanoid.Animator)
	local Animator = Humanoid.Animator
#15

Where are you defining Humanoid?

#16

it was merely a snippet of code, I go through a for loop of npcs to get humanoid so:

local Humanoid = v:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

humanoid is not incorrect as the animations function for all npcs

#17

I am so sorry. I forgot they were npcs and not players. I think you might have to add an animator to the humanoid
