Playing animations in an order (combos)

  1. I want to achieve a combo system for my combat system and understand how I could make a combo.

  2. I have my combat system ready and the punches randomized but I want to make a combo instead of randomizing the punches.

please let me know in which ways I could make my animations play one after another.

my current randomizing script.

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local punches = {
		rightPunch,
		leftPunch,
		leftKick,
		rightKick,
		straightKick,
		doublePunch
	}
	
	local anim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[math.random(#punches)])
	anim:Play()
	
end)

You can use ipairs

for i, v in ipairs(punches) do
	local anim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[i])
	anim:Play()
    anim.Stopped:Wait() 
end

-- or

for i = 1,#punches do
	local anim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[i])
	anim:Play()
    anim.Stopped:Wait()
end

New code:

local AnimPlayed = 0
local Debounce = false
local punches = {...}

tool.Activated:Connect(function() 
if not Debounce then
Debounce = true
if AnimPlayed < #punches then
    AnimPlayed += 1
    local anim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[AnimPlayed])
	anim:Play()
    anim.Stopped:Wait() 
    Debounce = false
elseif AnimPlayed >= #punches then
    AnimPlayed = 1
    local anim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[AnimPlayed])
	anim:Play()
    anim.Stopped:Wait() 
    Debounce = false
    end
end
end)

@Dev_Simphony try this ^

this is not working since I dont want it to happen in 1 click. After each individual click I want the animation to change in order.

#4

Oh, okay I probably know what you want.

So the problem is that the animations are overlapping?

Yes I am pretty sure this might be the problem. And some animations that are not suppose to be playing play.

#9

Let me know if adding the new code fixed it.

Just realized you want each animation in order , ignore this.

I did something like this a while ago. What I did was I made it so every time you activate the tool a number value goes up by 1 and ends at the number of animations you have and then goes back down to 1. When activating the tool it checks an if statement. For example if number == 1 then it plays the first animation and if number == 2 it plays the second animation and so on. I don’t know if this will work but you can try something like that. Good luck! I hope you fix your problem and I hope this helps in some way. Sorry if this doesn’t work.

This is exactly what I did :thinking:.

#15

That is extremely similar to what I did but I think how I had it done was in a less complicated way. But I’m not sure why both ways wouldn’t work just the same.
Did your script work for you?

#17

Maybe you could do something like this?

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
local punches = {
rightPunch,
leftPunch,
leftKick,
rightKick,
straightKick,
doublePunch
}

local anim1 = punches[1]
local anim2 = punches[2]
local anim3 = punches[3]
local anim4 = punches[4]
local anim5 = punches[5]
local anim6 = punches[6]

|local load1 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[1])
|local load2 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[2])
|local load3 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[3])
|local load4 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[4])
|local load5 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[5])
|local load6 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(punches[6])

load1:Play()
wait(-- whatever duration the animation is --)
load1:Stop()
load2:Play()
wait(-- whatever duration the animation is --)
Load2:Stop()
Load3:Play()
wait(-- whatever duration the animation is --)
Load3:Stop()
Load4:Play()
wait(-- whatever duration the animation is --)
Load4:Stop()
Load5:Play()
wait(-- whatever duration the animation is --)
Load5:Stop()
Load6:Play()
wait(-- whatever duration the animation is --)
Load6:Stop()
end)

Keep in mind that I’m new to coding so something here could be wrong.

Your code won’t work because the animation must be played in order after activating the tool.

#19

Awesome it worked. Thanks mate!! The animations no go in order as expected :slight_smile:
