hi, i am a beginner roblox developer, and i am trying to make a custom jumping animation for my game. however, it…just…doesnt…play? ive tried everything, ive restarted roblox studio, shifted the code around the script, used a more advanced developers script, anything you can think of, yet, nothing works. in fact, i have a running animation script thats almost completely the same, yet it works just fine! i am completely lost. i stayed up until 3 am trying to fix this problem last night and i still cant even figure out how or why it even happens. sorry if this is a bad post, this is my first post
script:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local jumpingAnimationId = "rbxassetid://14212683004"
local jumping animation = Instance.new("Animation")
jumpingAnimation.AnimationId = jumpingAnimationId
local play2 = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(jumpingAnimation)
humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function(jumping)
if true then
play2:Play()
if jumping == false then
play2:Stop()
end
end
end)
When in doubt, check that sweet sweet Priority, baby!
Its just standard procedure, like a tech guru telling the user to turn it on and off again.
So, if you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me what the Animation’s priority is at? To find out the priority, simply start editing the animation, and click the 3 dots in the Animation Editor, go to Set Animation Priority, and absolutely make sure that the animation is set to Movement since you’re trying to modify the player’s default movement animations
if you want to do it without scripting and a way that works every time, run the game and get the “animate” localscript from your character, and from there put it in your startercharacterscripts and you’ll find an anim under the script called jumpanim. then you can paste into the id and your done!
the running animation (off-topic, but may be important) is movement, the jump animation is action. i also tried putting the jump animation on core, movement, and action4, neither worked
Well, i would leave it at the highest action priority. Then place print statements around to ensure the code is being run. Finally, the only thing i could think of that would break an animation is if, for whatever reason, you dont have permission or access to the animation. IE, the group owns it or whatever
In your script, im gonna have to ask you to go VERY verbose with all if statements and prints.
Also, in line 6, you have
local jumping animation = ...
as opposed to
local jumpingAnimation = ...
so. try this:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local jumpingAnimationId = "rbxassetid://14212683004"
local jumpingAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
jumpingAnimation.AnimationId = jumpingAnimationId
local play2=nil
function RemoveTrack()
if play2 then
play2:Stop()
play2=nil
end
end
humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function(jumping)
RemoveTrack()
play2 = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(jumpingAnimation):Play()
if jumping == false then
RemoveTrack()
end
end)
