Stopping my Animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’ve made this code where it plays an different walking animation when the player is in shiftlock, and plays only the forward animation when the player isn’t in shiftlock.

The shitlock: on part works correctly, but the shitlock: off part has an issue, when I stop walking the animation just doesn’t stop playing, it only does this when I’m pressing A, S or D, and I don’t understand where I can fix this.

I hope my code is understandable, I’m new to scripting :slight_smile:

Here’s my code:

-- Get services
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")


-- Variables
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Character = Player.Character
local hum = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Player.Character:WaitForChild("Animate").Enabled = false

-- Animations
local forwardAnim = script:WaitForChild("ForwardAnimation")
local backwardAnim = script:WaitForChild("BackwardsAnimation")
local leftAnim = script:WaitForChild("LeftAnimation")
local rightAnim = script:WaitForChild("RightAnimation")

-- Tracks
local forwardTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(forwardAnim)
local backwardTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(backwardAnim)
local leftTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(leftAnim)
local rightTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(rightAnim)

-- Different keys to different tracks
local Keys = {
	[Enum.KeyCode.W] = forwardTrack,
	[Enum.KeyCode.S] = backwardTrack,
	[Enum.KeyCode.A] = leftTrack,
	[Enum.KeyCode.D] = rightTrack
}

-- Functions
-- Stops all currently running animations
function StopAll()
	for _,v in pairs(Keys) do
		v:Stop()
	end
end

-- Detect player input and 
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
	local KeyCode = input.KeyCode
	-- Shiftlock on part
	if uis.MouseBehavior == Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter then
		if Keys[KeyCode] and not isTyping then
			StopAll();Keys[KeyCode]:Play()
		end
		print("Playing animation: Shiftlock ON")
	-- Shiftlock off part
	else
		if Keys[KeyCode] and not isTyping then
			StopAll();forwardTrack:Play()
		end
	end
	
end)

-- Ending all walking animations
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
	local KeyCode = input.KeyCode
	if Keys[KeyCode] and not isTyping then
		Keys[KeyCode]:Stop()
	end
end)

One question, why do you need animation for each directions? (w,s,a,d)

Because I’m trying to make my walking animation as realistic as possible, because it’ll I’m making a game based around movement. When you’re walking IRL you don’t move the same way when walking left or right.

I fixed the issue of not stopping the animation, but now the animation stops when I release one key, and not all. For exemple if I’m pressing A and W at the same time but let go of A my animation stops playing and goes into Idle animation, It only does this in shiftlock off.

Here the code:

-- Get services
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")


-- Variables
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Character = Player.Character
local hum = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Player.Character:WaitForChild("Animate").Enabled = false

-- Animations
local forwardAnim = script:WaitForChild("ForwardAnimation")
local backwardAnim = script:WaitForChild("BackwardsAnimation")
local leftAnim = script:WaitForChild("LeftAnimation")
local rightAnim = script:WaitForChild("RightAnimation")

-- Tracks
local forwardTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(forwardAnim)
local backwardTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(backwardAnim)
local leftTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(leftAnim)
local rightTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(rightAnim)

-- Different keys to different tracks
local Keys = {
	[Enum.KeyCode.W] = forwardTrack,
	[Enum.KeyCode.S] = backwardTrack,
	[Enum.KeyCode.A] = leftTrack,
	[Enum.KeyCode.D] = rightTrack
}

-- Functions
-- Stops all currently running animations
function StopAll()
	for _,v in pairs(Keys) do
		v:Stop()
	end
end

-- Detect player input and 
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
	local KeyCode = input.KeyCode
	-- Shiftlock on part
	if uis.MouseBehavior == Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter then
		if Keys[KeyCode] and not isTyping then
			StopAll();Keys[KeyCode]:Play()
		end
	-- Shiftlock off part
	else
		if Keys[KeyCode] and not isTyping then
			StopAll();forwardTrack:Play()
		end
	end
	
end)

-- Ending all walking animations
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isTyping)
	local KeyCode = input.KeyCode
	-- Shiftlock on
	if uis.MouseBehavior == Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter then
		if Keys[KeyCode] and not isTyping then
		Keys[KeyCode]:Stop()
		end
	-- Shiftlock off
	else
		if Keys[KeyCode] and not isTyping then
			StopAll();forwardTrack:Stop()
		end
	end
end)

I don’t see any use of the other three animations beside forward. Is this the whole script or just a part of it?

6

It’s the whole script, as I said, I’m trying to make this as realistic as possible, which means that I do need to play a different animation when pressing W, A, S or D

7

are you trying to make a strafing animation?

8

I’m not trying to make it, I’m trying to fix my script that uses strafing animations in different directions.
