Is there a way for NPCs to move using the emotes in the avatar shop?

[beakiyo (alatus)]

I want to make my NPC move using an emote from the avatar shop but I’m not sure how. I tried searching for answers here, the roblox wikipedia, and on YouTube but I couldn’t find any. Does anyone know how to do this?

Firstly, you need to obtain the Animation Asset Id. You can do this by using the method below, or by using InsertService.

IDs for new ROBLOX animations to load them into NPCs?

If you would like me to send the script I can, all I did was add a statement in every area where an emote is played; print(emote.AnimationId) Here is the Shy animation ID it printed; http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3337978742 And here is the shrug animation ID it printed; http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3334392772 Pretty hacky solution, but there ya go.

Once you have obtained ID, you can simply load it into your desired CPU using LoadAnimation, and then :Play() it.

Example:

AnimationObject = Instance.new("Animation")
AnimationObject.AnimationId = "your animation ID from this last step"
Animation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(AnimationObject)

Animation:Play()

Hope this helps!
