Hello,

I am creating a gun but I have a problem, my animations are not played instantly once the gun is in my character…

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local rf = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local TweenS = game:GetService("TweenService") 
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")

local plr = plrs.LocalPlayer
repeat wait(1) until plr.Character ~= nil
local humanoid = plr.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()

local GUI = script.Parent.ViperUI
local MaxAmmo = script.Parent.MaxAmmo
local CurrentAmmo = script.Parent.CurrentAmmo
local ShootPosition = script.Parent.ShootPosition
local SoundGunShot = script.Parent.GunFire
local ColorAmmo = script.Parent.ColorAmmo
local DamageAmmo = script.Parent.DamageAmmo

local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local inprotect = false
local fired = false
local endreloaded = true
local ACTION_RELOAD = "Reload"

local CAMERA = workspace.CurrentCamera

local event_gun_shot = rs.Events.GunShot

local function loadanimation(anim)
	return humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
end

local Anim = {
	Equipped = loadanimation(script.Parent.EquipAnim),
	Protect = loadanimation(script.Parent.Protect)
}

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
	Anim.Equipped:Play()
	GUI.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
	GUI.Enabled = true
	
	UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, _gameProcess)
		if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and not _gameProcess then 
			if not Anim.Protect.IsPlaying then
				inprotect = true
				Anim.Protect:Play()
				Anim.Equipped:Stop()
			else 
				inprotect = false
				Anim.Protect:Stop()
				Anim.Equipped:Play()
			end
		end
	end)

	mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		if equipped and not inprotect then 
			fired = true
			while fired do 			
				if endreloaded then
					if CurrentAmmo.Value > 0 then 
						SoundGunShot:Play()
						CurrentAmmo.Value -= 1
						event_gun_shot:FireServer(ShootPosition.CFrame.p, mouse.Hit.p, DamageAmmo.Value, ColorAmmo.Value)
					end
				end
				wait(0.035)
			end
		end
	end)

	mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function() if equipped then fired = false end end)	

	local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
		if actionName == ACTION_RELOAD and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
			if endreloaded and CurrentAmmo.Value < 50 then 
				endreloaded = false

				local realoadFolder = tool.Reload
				
				local function updateTransparency(folder, value, mode)
					if mode == "Tween" then
						for i,v in ipairs(folder:GetChildren()) do 
							if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then 
								v.Transparency = 0
								local anim = TweenS:Create(v, TweenInfo.new(0.5), {Transparency = value})
								anim:Play()
								wait(0.005)
							end
						end
					else 
						for i,v in ipairs(folder:GetChildren()) do 
							if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then 
								v.Transparency = value
							end
						end
					end
					
				end

				updateTransparency(tool, 1, "normal")
				
				updateTransparency(realoadFolder, 1, "Tween")

				wait(0.5)
				
				updateTransparency(realoadFolder, 0, "normal")

				wait(0.5)
				
				updateTransparency(realoadFolder, 1, "normal")

				updateTransparency(tool, 0, "normal")
				
				ShootPosition.Transparency = 1
				CurrentAmmo.Value = MaxAmmo.Value
				endreloaded = true
			end
		end
	end

	ContextActionService:BindAction(ACTION_RELOAD, handleAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.R)
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
	GUI.Parent = tool
	GUI.Enabled = false
	fired = false
	Anim.Protect:Stop()
	Anim.Equipped:Stop()
	ContextActionService:UnbindAction(ACTION_RELOAD)
end)

#2 
local AnimationClipProvider = game:GetService("AnimationClipProvider")

local holdAnim = script:WaitForChild("Hold")
local holdAnimTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(holdAnim)

holdAnimTrack:Play() -- later on the equip script

this works perfectly for me

Uh I did it? And you are not using the service btw lol.

#4

ik, service is for animation stuff to load

#5

Yeah but I am using the animator lol.

#6

i too, but
local AnimationClipProvider = game:GetService("AnimationClipProvider")
can solve some problem (i dont remember which one, but important)

#7

If you want to make it precisely accurate, do task.wait, instead.

Did not change something with this.

Alright, done. But it did not change something :(.

#10

it is probably because animations isn’t loaded when you start function. You need to do
humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation()
only one time, and before all actions, like this:


local holdAnim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local holdAnimTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(holdAnim)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    holdAnimTrack:Play()
end)
