Issue with playing animation when reaching certain health

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making it so when a player has below 30 health an animation plays but its not working my output says

I got an animation in rep storage

Unable to cast value to Object

Script:

local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local animationId = "9738175727"
local loadedAnimation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animationId)

while wait() do
	if humanoid.Health <= 30 then
		loadedAnamation:Play()
	else
		loadedAnimation:stop()
	end
end
#2

This is happening because to load a animation, it expects a animation instance, not a Id.

#3

something like this?

local animation = game.ReplicatedStorage :FindFirstChild(“LowHealthAnim”)

#4

Yes.
(character limit, character limit)

#5

Yes. I also think you need to play the animation on the humanoid’s animator.

#6

what do you mean by humanoids animator? and also will i delete the ID in the script

#7

use Humanoid.HealthChanged

local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://9738175727"

local loadedAnimation = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)

Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(Health)
	if Health <= 30 then
		loadedAnamation:Play()
	else
		loadedAnimation:stop()
	end
end)

The animator is what is mainly responsible for playing animations on characters. You can get the animator from the humanoid.

#9

Do i keep the animation thing in replicated storage

also output said

also character is red underlined

Put that inside localscript in startergui or where it was

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://9738175727"

local loadedAnimation = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)

Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(Health)
	if Health <= 30 then
		loadedAnamation:Play()
	else
		loadedAnimation:stop()
	end
end)

This does know work thank you but the health icon on the right top corner of the screen don’t show

#14

image
if you mean health bar it displays when health below max health

#15

yeah that isn’t showing for me

#16

it might be because you have script that disables health bar
this is example of it

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health, false)
#17

No not what I could see but I do have a health display script that don’t work

#18

err… maybe because of this? or you already fixed it? (typo)

#19
