Playing default walk animation id shows default running animation (Overwrote Animate with tiny script)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m attempting to play the default walk animation on the local character, but Roblox plays the default run animation instead.

To reproduce, put a localscript named “Animate” in the StarterCharacterScripts folder with the following code:

wait(4)
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://507777826"--default walk animation id
local animationTrack = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
animationTrack:Play()

When I run this in a blank project, the character starts running instead of walking. When I use id 507767714 (default run animation), the character animates in exactly the same way.

What am I missing here? Is the true default walk animation id something else?

Well, to start off, Humanoid:LoadAnimation is deprecated. Instead use this:

wait(4)
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://507777826"--default walk animation id
local animationTrack = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
animationTrack:Play()

(Roblox added an Animator to replace the Humanoid animating)

Although I’m a bit confused, when do you want the player to use the default walk animation?

Thank you for your help, but running your code still animates a running character and not a walking character.

My actual game is using logic to decide which animation to play, which is working correctly for other animations except that walking appears as running, which I do not understand at all. I simply boiled the problem down to the bare essentials of always playing a walk animation for the purposes of posting here.

I don’t consider this a solution, but I’ve discovered that using the animation id of 913402848 instead of 507777826 results in a walking animation being played.

I’d still like to know why Roblox’s current default walking animation doesn’t actually result in a walking animation.

Roblox doesn’t have a default walking animation, it’s the same as the run animation, unless you’re using Rthro animations.

#6 
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

repeat wait() until Player.Character

local Animation = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(workspace.Animation)

Animation:Play()

try making it an animation object

I figured out the issue. In Roblox’s default Animate script, there is this code:

walk = 	{ 	
	{ id = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=507777826", weight = 10 } 
},

However, this code is no longer used. The default Animate script now uses a Animation object childed under the “walk” StringValue that uses the animation id 2510202577 for walking.

Replacing my code’s id with 2510202577 results in a walking animation being played.
