Have you ever wanted to make a animation with the movement in the animation or you simply hate having to animate everything in place for simple things like vaulting a ledge or a quick dash/roll and then scripting the movement manually or maybe you just simply find it too complicated to do those things. I did and thus I present the concept of smart animations.
Video Overview
Questions
What does it do?
Automate/Move your actual character in the world when an animation plays
Come with simple to adjust built-in settings to ignore walls/gravity or work with world physics
Fixed an issue with the frame sorter that would occasionally cause animations to clip back for some frames, due to playing out of sync/order.
Version 1.0.2 Module-Update
Added a :pause feature to visual animation
Tweaked the client-sided code to make visual animations run through collisions more smoothly on the client
Fixed the issue of being able to play the animation track over itself. Should no longer play over itself if already playing (aiming to restart the whole animation track instead in the future like normal animations)
Version 1.0.3 Module-Update
Added a parameter for physical animations called power to increase the distance of a animation without having to change it
Added better simulated gravity to physical animations
Version 1.0.4 Module-Fix
Added collision detection/raycasting to physical animations to remove the potential clipping through walls during high speed movements
Man I LOVE THIS, I already have made vaulting and stuff like that but honestly I always find tedious to do animations and do scripts to make the animation movement translate in the game, this sure helps a lot to save up some time, this must be one of my favorites modules ngl, pretty good job mate!
Awesome work! Although, it’d be much more practical if you implemented events for animationTrack.Ended, animationTrack.KeyframeReached, animationTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal ect
I get these errors.

Does this only work for R15 or it works for R6 too?
Hi this seems like a really useful tool! I was following the tutorial with a custom rig and although the plugin outputs that the animation was converted, the keyframes do not change to say “CFrame…”. When I play the animation back, the character still moves as well, unlike yours in the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Pretty sure roblox changed the way animations are stored/saved since then so I would have to redo all/some of it again to make it work in my free time.
Edit: Also I don’t think I ever added true support for fully customized characters. Mostly an R6/R15 thing since the plugin checks for Torso or LowerTorso Movements.
Not really a the kind of person to ask about performance, but if I had to guess probably yeah, due to the computing/reading of the keyframes of the animation before rendering/playing them. Nothing I’ve personally noticed in the little time I did use it.
