New Set of Character Animations at the Press of a Button?

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I have this concept of wanting to change all character movement animations when obtaining a martial art style or obtainable class. This includes walking animations, idle etc. I have managed to achieve 8 directional movement animations, all i need now is to be able to switch them by a press of a button. I also want to be able to switch all my animations when i crouch.

I have a String Value named “Pose”. When i change the value in roblox studio, it plays a different set of animations. for instance i change “Standing” to “Crouching” it plays 8 directional crouching animations. However i have seen a role playing game where you cant change your animations through a menu. How do i accomplish this?

edit: I have found the game that has this system.

You could probably use an if statement that uses a variable (that the button changed)
Example: (animationTypes could be activated with the button)

if animationTypes == 1 then
   animation1:Play()
else
    animation2:Play()
end

Ive done something similar to this. However the animations that i play from the table, don’t stop when new animation ids are loaded in. I play the animations using a for loop

After a few days i’ve finally figured out how to do it. My animation weights were being changed by a Runservice function. The problem was every time i tried to stop the animations the Runservice function wouldn’t let me. So to work my way around this i instead put my animation weights into a function and bound it to render step instead. Doing this i was able to make it so that i unbound it everytime i changed my pose, change animation id’s rebound it and play the animations. Edit: kinda like reloading…
