Programmatically, how would I make animations choppy

[Ilucere]

A certain build in my game would look cool as hell if it had a choppy animation. But I want choppiness to affect all its animations. Is there a hacky solution to doing this?

bump because i moved it to scirpting support

i looked at this problem and thought “oh this solutions really simple”
im writing this purely for people who want a jittery effect without setting their animations to constant in the animation editor. many others would probably want this effect in their games and ideas, and i would love to see it. my game was going to have a ‘Doll’ build, where the character moves very robotically and jittery. i would like to see this animation-style crossover with regular smoothened animations, or potentially even a game consisting only of jittery movements.

the solution is to have a custom play function which starts and stops the animation with some intervals of time, call it :PlayJitter(jitterInterval, fadeTime, weight, speed) (i wouldn’t know how to start and stop the fadetime and whatnot, but im pretty sure its just the time it takes for the weight to go from 0 to weight so you can just do a lil math with os.clock and math.min ifykyk)
and you can have a :StopJitter(fadeTime, weight, speed) which stops said interval

local jittering = false
local function playJitter(interval)
       jittering = true
       task.spawn(function()
              while (jittering) do
                     animation:Stop()
                     task.wait(interval)
                     if (not jittering) then break end
                     animation:Play()
                     task.wait(interval)
              end
       end)
end

local function stopJitter()
       jittering = false
       animation:Stop()
end

heres a very barebones version of my idea. note that this code will cause a lot of bugs unless properly handled
