Lava Touched Animation and Function Not Working

StarJ3M · May 27, 2021, 4:50pm

Hello! Im trying to make a SM64 styled game and when the player touches the lava for some reason the animation doesnt load and the health isnt taken away by 3

Script

local humanoid = game.Player.Humanoid
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local lavaHitAnimation = "rbxassetid://6872512512"

if humanoid.Touched == script.Parent then
	humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - 3
	
	lavaHitAnimation:Play()
end

What came in the output

try this instead:

humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Name == script.Parent.Name then
      humanoid.Health -= 3
	
	lavaHitAnimation:Play()
   end
end)

lavaHitAnimation:Play() wouldn’t work, as you’re firing a function at a string. Instead, utilise Animator:LoadAnimation() to create an animation track for your humanoid, then :Play() it.

local humanoid = game.Player.Humanoid --you're specifying "Humanoid" as a player

change it to (completely):

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local lavaHitAnimation = "rbxassetid://6872512512"

instead of using

humanoid.Health -= 3

use

Humanoid:TakeDamage(3)

Seems like you’re doing it in a script instead.

Doqee:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local lavaHitAnimation = "rbxassetid://6872512512"

use game.Players.PlayerAdded instead.

local lavaHitAnimation = "rbxassetid://6872512512"
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        --code here
    end)
end)

Also I was trying to make it so if the player touched the lava ( script.Parent ) then it would happen

StarJ3M · May 27, 2021, 5:22pm

So like this?

local plr = game.Players.PlayerAdded
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local lavaHitAnimation = "rbxassetid://6872512512"

hum.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Name == script.Parent.Name then
		hum:TakeDamage(3)

		lavaHitAnimation:Play()
	end
end)

Doqee · May 27, 2021, 5:23pm

Include this in your code for it to play the animation.

StarJ3M · May 27, 2021, 5:26pm

local plr = game.Players.PlayerAdded
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local lavaHitAnimation = "rbxassetid://6872512512"

hum.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Name == script.Parent.Name then
		hum:TakeDamage(3)
		
		hum:LoadAnimation(lavaHitAnimation)
		lavaHitAnimation:Play()
	end
end)

You’ll need to connect a Touched event to the part.
Right now your attempting to check if Humanoid.Touched is equal to the scripts parent, this wouldn’t work and would probably return false.

Also instead of putting the id create a new Animation Instance, set the AnimationId, and use LoadAnimation.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local lavaHitAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
lavaHitAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6872512512"

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if not player or not humanoid then return end

    local lavaHitTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(lavaHitAnimation)

	humanoid:TakeDamage(3)
	lavaHitTrack:Play()
end)

(Sorry if my explaining is bad lol)

Place the Script in the Instance.

flkfv · May 27, 2021, 5:37pm

Fixed the code, also make sure the put the code I sent inside the death part.

It works, but why does this happen?
