Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. Hello. Im using Skinned Mesh characters for my game

  2. The problem is that the Animate script doesn’t work, I have read before that what is giving me the error is because on R15 it uses joints so the parts works like a rig, but im using skinned mesh, I dont need those, but without them the code doesn’t work

  3. I already tried deleting that part but it is important, I also searched up on devforum but there is no one with skinned mesh

I would be very gratefull if somebody knows how to solve it. Thanks!

this is the Animate code. what is giving me errors are the locals at the beggining

PD: Sorry for any grammar issues, english isn’t my first lenguage.

make your character humanoid type as r15, also make sure you delete the animator from the character

This appears to be the animate script from R6. R6 characters have a part called Torso, while R15 characters have an UpperTorso and a LowerTorso, meaning the R6 animation script will infinitely yield looking for a Torso on an R15 character. To fix this simply use the animate script from an R15 character.
