Problems with Animation Script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

For almost the entire evening, I have been working on a script that plays an animation, then starts playing a short one in a loop. The problem is, the animations stop all of a sudden, which happens to me a-lot. Would I have to anchor the player or disable the idle animation in order to keep the animations I have playing? And if so, how would I apply it to my script? I have tried using user.anchor = true, but an error shows up, reading "Anchor is not a valid member of “Players.LuxSemper”. Same thing happened when I tried anchoring the char or humanoid. I looked around the forums for a while, before deciding that none of the results were helping very much. I’m not very advanced in Lua scripting, and I’m not the brightest person.

Here is my entire script:


local start = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.start)
local float = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.float)
local complete =game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.complete)
local fail = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.fail)
local user = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local theme = game.SoundService.theme
local erasure = game.SoundService.player_erasure

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
	Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
		wait(2)
		start:Play() -- Above this is where I want to disable the animation, or anchor the character. 
		theme:Play()
		for counter = 1, 74 do -- The repeating animation is in this counter. 
			float:Play()
			wait(2)
		end
		complete:Play()
		erasure:Play()
		for i, v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			local humanoid = v.Character.Humanoid
			humanoid.Health = 0
		end
	end)
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	fail:Play()
	wait(0.2)
	if user.Character and user.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		user.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
	end
end)

You need to set the animation priorities respectively.

Do you mean adding more wait() statements? The animation labeled “start” is 2 seconds, and the one labeled “float” is also 2.

Edit: You can set this with a script but you will have to do it with every script loading the animation or you can set it directly in the Roblox Animation Editor Plugin.

Alright, thanks. This should over-ride the default animations if I set it to action, then, correct?

Yes, it will override all animations.
