local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local hum = char:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
local holster = hum:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild('Holster')
local walk = hum:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild('Walk')
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
holster:Play()
holster.Looped = true
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
if (holster) then
holster:Stop()
holster.Looped = false
end
end)
end)
I’m trying to write a script that triggers an animation to play and then stop after being equipped/unequipped. But it says this as an error.
Players.vf9r.Backpack.Kolibri.Animate:6: Expected ')' (to close '(' at line 5), got 'local'
17:34:22.007 - Players.vf9r.Backpack.Kolibri.Animate:5: attempt to index nil with 'LoadAnimation'
17:34:22.008 - Stack Begin
17:34:22.009 - Script 'Players.vf9r.Backpack.Kolibri.Animate', Line 5
17:34:22.009 - Stack End
That’s because the humanoid is nil, in other words, it didn’t load in when you set the variable. Instead of doing char:FindFirstChild('Humanoid'), write char:WaitForChild('Humanoid') so that it waits until the humanoid is loaded.
Next time, whenever there are output errors, go the line that it says. In the output you provided, it said line 5, so I immediately went to line 5 and caught the error. Also, search the Forum for other posts and the DevHub before posting a new topic. Maybe the bug is very simple and it shows in the output.
Use :WaitForChild() instead of Dot Syntax, whereas less efficient it has chances of preventing nil , specify the timeOut parameter to prevent thread yielding indefnitely.
