Npc custom walking animation sometimes plays, sometimes the npc just slides

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, everyone.
I have an npc that sometimes plays its running animation, but sometimes just slides.

To apply the animations to the npc, I just took Roblox’s Animate script and changed the animation ids.
The below is my pathfinder script for the npc. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with this.

char = script.Parent

local npc = script.Parent
local hrpOfNPC = npc:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

pathFinder = game:GetService("PathfindingService")

path = pathFinder:CreatePath()
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local position = workspace.temppart.Position
local target = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("coolguyweir")

while wait() do

	local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()

	local closestHRP

	for i, plr in pairs(plrs) do

		if plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and plr.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then

			local hrp = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart

			local distanceBetween = (hrpOfNPC.Position - hrp.Position).Magnitude


			if not closestHRP then 
				closestHRP = hrp 
			end

			if (hrpOfNPC.Position - closestHRP.Position).Magnitude < distanceBetween then

				closestHRP = hrp

			end
		end
	end 
	npc.Humanoid:MoveTo(closestHRP.Position)
	
end

Can someone please please help me fix this? It’s been bothering me a lot.

Thanks!

I made something just like this and this is the script that worked for me;

Now obviously you would need to change this to fit you but this is my script. This is a server script inside of the npc not the humanoid, and the animations are inside of the script.

local AnimTrack = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
local AnimTrack2 = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation2)
local AnimTrack3 = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation3)

--Walk Anim
script.Parent.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 and not AnimTrack.IsPlaying then
		AnimTrack:Play()
	elseif speed == 0 and AnimTrack.IsPlaying then
		AnimTrack:Stop()
	end
end)

--Shield Up Anim
game.Workspace.Village.Agro.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Name ~= "Barbarian" and hit.Parent.Name ~= "BarbarianSoldier" and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if not AnimTrack2.IsPlaying then
			AnimTrack2:Play()
		end
	end
end)

game.Workspace.Village.StopAgro.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Name ~= "Barbarian" and hit.Parent.Name ~= "BarbarianSoldier" and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if AnimTrack2.IsPlaying then
			AnimTrack2:Stop()
		end
	end
end)

--Swing Anim
local Cooldown = 1
local debounce = false

script.Parent.SwingDist.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Name ~= "Barbarian" and hit.Parent.Name ~= "BarbarianSoldier" and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if not AnimTrack3.IsPlaying and not debounce then
			debounce = true
			script.Parent.Hitting.Value = true
			AnimTrack2:Stop()
			AnimTrack3:Play()
		elseif not AnimTrack3.IsPlaying and debounce then
			script.Parent.Hitting.Value = false
			AnimTrack2:Play()
			wait(Cooldown)
			debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

can I insert the animation link for :load animation?

#4

Usually you would just use Humanoid.Animator:LoadAimation(--The animation) But you could try doing Humanoid.Animator:LoadAimation("YOUR ANIMATION HERE".AnimationId) I don’t know of a way that you could just load an animation from an id.

#5

mk. I’m applying all anims and will let you know if this works shortly!

how would I go about implementing a jump function…

#7

You would simply add;

Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function() --replace "Humanoid" with your variable for Humanoid.
    --jumping animation plays here
end)

I won’t be able to help anymore to day after this post.

btw, you load the animations. I have a question: Are animations the ones with the little blue icon, or the ones with a reels icon?

#9

Animations have a photo real icon.
