Problem with Animation:Play()

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I tried to make ability for a tool but the animation won’t play here is the script
I don’t understand why won’t the animation play

------------------Main-----------------
local RaycastHitbox = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.RaycastHitboxV4)
local Hitbox = RaycastHitbox.new(script.Parent.Handle)
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
Hitbox.Visualizer = true
local CurrentHumnanoid
local idle
local CurrentAnimation
local CurrentAnimation2
local CurrentAnimation3
local Spin = script.Spin
local db = true
local click = 0
------------------ShortNames-----------
local tool = script.Parent
local char = tool.Parent
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local handle = tool:FindFirstChild("Handle")
local T = 1
local Dmg = 19.75
local cd = .7
------------------functions------------

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if db then
		db = false

		click += 1
		if click == 1 then
			Hitbox:HitStart(.55)
			if CurrentAnimation then
				CurrentAnimation:Play()
			end
		elseif click == 2 then
			Hitbox:HitStart(.55)
			if CurrentAnimation2 then
				CurrentAnimation2:Play()
				click = 0
			end
		end
		wait(cd)
		db = true
	end
end)

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(caller, KeyCode) -------line 46
	if KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		print("dsa")
		if db then
			db = false
			Hitbox:HitStart(2)
			Spin:Play()
		end
	wait(T)
	db = true
end
end)

Hitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(Part, Humanoid)
	if Humanoid and Humanoid ~= script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid then
		Humanoid:TakeDamage(Dmg)
	end
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local Humanoid = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if Humanoid and Humanoid ~= CurrentHumnanoid then
		CurrentHumnanoid = Humanoid
		idle = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Idle)
		idle.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
		idle.Looped = true
		idle:Play()
		CurrentAnimation = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Slash)
		CurrentAnimation2 = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Slash2)
		Spin = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Spin)
	end
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()

end)

local:

local RaycastHitbox = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.RaycastHitboxV4)
local Hitbox = RaycastHitbox.new(script.Parent.Handle)
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local db = true

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if gameProcessedEvent == false then
		script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer(input.KeyCode)
	end
end)

Your way of loading animations is superseded by Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animID). Try changing it to my recommended method and update me ur results.

#3

didn’t work gave me Humanoid is not valid member of backpack

#4

I would help if there was an error involved and that you provide it here.

#5

You have to get the humanoid from the players character, not the backpack, it works like this:

local player = game:GetService("Players")
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(animation)

Can I see what your player variable is declared as?

#10

this?

------------------ShortNames-----------
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players")
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local handle = tool:FindFirstChild("Handle")
local T = 1
local Dmg = 19.75
local cd = .7

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(caller, KeyCode) -------line 46
	if KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		print("dsa")
		if db then
			db = false
			Hitbox:HitStart(2)
			character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(9304484527)
		end
	wait(T)
	db = true
end
end)
#11

Is the script you declared it in a local script?

#12

wait local? I thought I was supposed to put it in server

#13

Well, the player variables value is the service Players and not the actual player object. Don’t change the script type just yet.

#14

So here’s a fix to your problem:

------------------ShortNames-----------
local character

local tool = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end)
local handle = tool:FindFirstChild("Handle")
local T = 1
local Dmg = 19.75
local cd = .7

https://gyazo.com/cbee11090f2cf2142d25e7390c07be94 now i am getting this error

#16

Can you show me line 56 of that script?

#17 
script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(caller, KeyCode) -------line 46
	if KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		print("dsa")
		if db then
			db = false
			Hitbox:HitStart(2)
			character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(9304484527)
		end
	wait(T)
	db = true
end
end)

line 56 is

character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(9304484527)
#18

You can play animations on the client directly.

#19

and how exactly?
(character limit)
