Replacing a player's default animations

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello!

So is there a way to replace a players animations based off of a leaderstat?
(Walking, Jumping, etc.)

Thanks!

You can try this

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
   plr.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId= your id here
end)

Is there a way to do it mid game? like not at the beginning of it?

Yes, but you’d have to get the player somehow

6

You use the character to change the anim, so getting the player from the character would be useless

7

Oh, alrighty!

Do you know what would work? If so, please explain. :DDD

I think he means connecting the animation change function via an event

For instance, if you’d want it to change when the player touches a part you’d do

part.Touched:Connect(function(p)
    if p.Parent and p.Parent:GetPlayerFromCharacter() then
        p.Parent.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = your id here
    end
end)

Could I do,

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
local character = workspace[plr].Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = your id here
10

it would be easier to simply do Player.Character, but yes!

12 
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plr.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = your id here
13

I did this,

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
plr.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5604380139"
print("Done")

But nothing worked, is there a better way to find your player’s name?

remove .Name

It says, ‘Attept to index nil with character’

16

Use a local script and you also need to wait for the character to load in so,

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until plr.Character
plr.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5604380139"
print("Done")
17

Sorry I keep forgetting to remove the .Name by accident

18

Will the animation only show for me? or for everyone else aswell?

19

I think the script replicates it automatically, but you’d have to test it

20

If not, you can switch to a server script and define the player differently

21

How can I do that? (Thank you so much for the help!)

Depends on how you want to obtain the target player
