How would I prioritize the jumping and falling animation when im running?

-- local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--//Variables
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local RunAnimation = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts.Animate.run.RunAnim)

--//Controls
local MaxSpeed = 45
local animationPlaying = true

--//Functions
LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end)

LocalPlayer.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function()
	Humanoid = nil
end)

while true do
	if not Humanoid then
		continue
	end
	
	local timeElapsed = 0

	while Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 do
		Humanoid.WalkSpeed = math.min(Humanoid.WalkSpeed + 0.75, MaxSpeed)
		
		if timeElapsed >= 1.5 and not animationPlaying then
			animationPlaying = true
			RunAnimation:Play()
		end

		task.wait(0.1)
		timeElapsed += 0.1
	end

	Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 5
	
	animationPlaying = false
	RunAnimation:Stop()

	task.wait()
end

Hi,

Set the animation priority higher than the running animation.

I tried it, and it did not work.

If your running animations priority is lower than the falling & jumping animations priority, then it should work.

Hello!!! If you’re using the default jumping or falling animations and wondering why your custom ones are overriding other animations, there’s something important to know:

By default, the “Animate” script (which is automatically inserted into player characters) sets all animation priorities to Core, regardless of what you set in the Animation Editor.

This means that even if your custom jump or fall animation is set to Action or higher, it will still behave as if it’s Core priority — the lowest — and get overridden by things like walk or idle.

In order to fix this:

  • Play the game
  • Copy the Animate script from under you character
  • Place it under “StarterCharacterScripts”
  • Go into the script
  • THEN REMOVE THIS LINE

currentAnimTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Core

Hope this helps!
