Idle Position not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So im working on an idle position for a ball roll script here is my code

local Anims = {}

local BlacklistAnimations = {
	["rbxassetid://180426354"] = true,  -- Climb
	["rbxassetid://754637456"] = true,  -- Fall
	["rbxassetid://2815169686"] = true, -- Jump
	["rbxassetid://94493375873801"] = true,  -- Walk / Run
	["rbxassetid://2510198475"] = true, -- Swim
	["rbxassetid://2510192778"] = true  -- Swim Idle (optional)
}

local BoulderIdle = game.ServerStorage.BoulderIdle

local function Idle(Plr)
	if Anims[Plr.Name] ~= nil then
	local animTrack = Plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(BoulderIdle)	
	animTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Core
	repeat
		game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()
		if Anims[Plr.Name] == nil then
			animTrack:Stop()
			return
		end
		if Plr.Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.magnitude <= 0.5 then
			-- This is sort of broken because it runs so much it resets but we can use this if we need to and ill fix it
			animTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4
			animTrack:Play()
		end
		local OffendingAnims = 0
		for i,v in pairs(Plr.Character.Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
			if BlacklistAnimations[v.Animation.AnimationId] then
				OffendingAnims = OffendingAnims + 1
			end
		end
		if OffendingAnims == 0 then
			if animTrack.IsPlaying == false then
				animTrack:Play()
			end
		else
			animTrack:Stop()
		end
	until false
	
	end

end

So basically the problem is it goes back to origional pos and then back down to idle Watch Place1 - Roblox Studio 2025-02-27 14-53-18 | Streamable

Note that this is in a larger script

Thanks for any help!!!

Is that pose the first frame of your idle animation?

You can check to see if the animation is playing instead of playing it again over and over in your if Plr.Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.magnitude <= 0.5 then check.

I’m not sure if this will make a difference, but why are you loading the animation every time the Idle function is called? You should be loading it into the player when they join the game and just playing it when it needs to be used.

i have 2 diff anims one for walking and 1 for walking… that lil bit of code didnt change anything besides the anim reping a bunch… i figured ide add it but it doesent change anything that happens normally in the code i just was testin and thats why i added the note there. Sorry for the confusion

#4

Could you show me a little bit more of your code since what really calls the idle function?

#5

Im kinda busy atm but it is running and from prints the offending anims iff plays whenever it returns to the normal pos where your just standing. The humanoid.movedirection goes off as soon as the plr stops moving (When the idle should be playing) But it still waits to go back and that (Thats why i included that clause)

#6

Tbh with you I would rather just use a connection like Humanoid.Running and with that it will give you back the speed and just check if speed is greater than 0 to see if player is moving
something like this.


Humanoid.Running:connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 then
        Loaded["Walk"]:AdjustSpeed(speed)
		if not Loaded["Walk"].IsPlaying then
			Loaded["Idle"]:Stop()
			Loaded["Walk"]:Play()
		end
	else
		if not Loaded["Idle"].IsPlaying then
			Loaded["Walk"]:Stop()
			Loaded["Idle"]:Play()
		end
	end
end)

Btw I have the animation’s preloaded in a table. Also make sure your animations are the right priority like “Idle” and “Movement”
