Timing animation help?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey guys! I’ve been working on a new game and decided to try to push myself to go farther this time and try animation! I’m a fairly beginner coder, I have some experience but not a lot! so when I made this, I thought it looked really good:

(file was too large, view the video here)

To accomplish this, I used :GetMarkerReachedSignal("Signalname"):Connect(function(Keyframe) which seemed to work out fine in studio, however, when it is played with more than one person, the timing is completely off, and the script doesn’t quite reach the keyframe I want it to to continue the cutscene. I use a callback function to try and align everyone’s client to the same spot, but it doesn’t seem to work.

For the callback function, I call on this function:

function WaitForCallback()

repeat wait()

until

WaitForCallbackBool == true

WaitForCallbackBool = false

end

and then at the end of a cutscene, I have the client fire to the server to make “WaitForCallbackBool” == true:

RE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,Key,Var1)	
	if Key == "CutsceneEnd" then
		WaitForCallbackBool = true
end
end)

Which then continues the core script.

Again, theres slight delays that mess up and ruin the cutscene as follows here

I’ve been stumped on how to make everyone’s cutscene align and it’s kind of ruined my motivation to continue the game, so any help would be amazing at this point!! I wanna see this game through for once!

Thanks so much!

EDIT: I should probably also mention what I have currently when it reaches a keyframe:

SciAnimTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal("PenCamera"):Connect(function(Keyframe)
	print(Keyframe)

	SciAnimTrack:AdjustSpeed(0)
	local CameraFlash = TweenService:Create(ScienceGuy["Meshes/camera (1)"].PointLight,TweenInfo.new(0.2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0, true, 0),{Brightness = 10})
	CameraFlash:Play()
	SoundsFolder.CamFlash:Play()
	CameraFlash.Completed:Wait()
	wait(1)
	SciAnimTrack:AdjustSpeed(1)
	wait(5)
	RE:FireAllClients("CamMan",workspace.Cam_Science3,true)
	WaitForCallbackBool = true
end)

I basically want it to pause the animation RIGHT at a certain point, then play a tween, then continue.

EDIT: It breaks even with one player, so I’m not too sure how to fix it >.< thought it only happened with 2

Is it possibly caused by a lag issue between the Client and the Server?

This is what I’m thinking as well, but want to know if there’s a possible solution to fix something like this

Still needing help with this issue, I’ve tried to make it client sided, however, I’m unsure on how to do that since it mixes both music and animation together >.<
