I want to make a system where the owner (me) would have unique animations (walking, idle, etc.) While keeping other players as the default animations.
I have used a traditional avatar animator script which was taken from the player model, and changed the idle and walk animation to the new ones. However, I want it to be owner-exclusive (like having a username be plugged in in order for the animations to be accessible, while keeping players with the default.)
Please note that all I want to do is have the animation be only for a certain player and not anyone who joins in. I just want to know how I could apply that to the script I already have.
I also was unable to find anything about this anywhere else, so I decided to put it out there myself.
Make a LocalScript that checks if you are the game creator, and if you are, it changes your default animations.
It would probably look something like this:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local function GiveOwnerAnimations()
local character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
-- If character exists, set the variable to it. If not, then wait for it to exist, then set it.
local animate = character:WaitForChild("Animate")
-- Waits for the character's animate
animate:WaitForChild("walk"):WaitForChild("WalkAnim").AnimationId = "rbxassetid://0"
-- Use your animationId here, and change any animation you'd like.
end
if LocalPlayer.UserId == game.CreatorId then
-- If the local player is the game's creator, run the function to give them the animations.
GiveOwnerAnimations()
end
You should place it in StarterCharacterScripts, because it has to give the player the animations every time a new character is created.
