Hello, a friend of mine suggested me to start making a boss battle for his sword fighting game. The parts with modeling, welding and animating were very easy. But the scripts were very hard to take care of. I did what I could do and tried documenting myself about how animations work and what you need to do to make them work. All I want is making other the animations play. The only animation that was also the final result was making the idle animation work.
Here’s a list with everything I tried:
- Used the owner’s animation ids
- Looped the animations (only idle and running)
- Used Animators in humanoid
- Changing priorities to what fits better
- Tested in the roblox game and not in studio
I will edit this topic later about the outcome.
Here’s the script used for making the boss run
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
--local event = script.Parent.Events >> Useless for now <<
--local folder = script.Parent.Anims >> Useless for now <<
----------------------------- OBJECTS -----------------------------
----------------------------- FUNCTIONS -----------------------------
function stop_animation()
for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
v:Stop(0)
end
end
----------------------------- FUNCTIONS -----------------------------
----------------------------- ANIMATION SETUPS -----------------------------
local idleanim = script:WaitForChild("VIPBossIdle")
local runanim = script:WaitForChild("VIPBossRun")
local slashanim = script:WaitForChild("VIPBossSlash")
local slash_animator = Instance.new("Animator", script.Parent.Humanoid)
local slash_load = slash_animator:LoadAnimation(slashanim)
local idle_animator = Instance.new("Animator", script.Parent.Humanoid)
local idle = idle_animator:LoadAnimation(idleanim)
idle:Play()
local run_animator = Instance.new("Animator", script.Parent.Humanoid)
local run = run_animator:LoadAnimation(runanim)
----------------------------- ANIMATION SETUPS -----------------------------
-- I use this part to test the boss if it's working.
wait(30) -- Time until I reach the boss
stop_animation()
wait(1)
run:Play()
local plrs = {}
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(plrs, v)
end
local target = plrs[math.random(1, #plrs)].Character.HumanoidRootPart
script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position)
Remember that only the Idle is playing. And the running animation doesn’t work when I make the boss walk.
