So Im having trouble with this tool animation, so basically im making a lightsaber idle animation, which is like when you hold the ligthsaber you are in like a attack pose animation, and im very new to scripting and i have been looking at tutorials to execute my goal, but when I tried to put the animation into the script, it excecutes the animation but then it reverts it back, so I need a bit of help with how to fix this problem.

Have you looped the idle animation?

#3

Not sure what you mean by looped animation.

#4

Ill give you an example:


local idleanim = Animator:LoadAnimation(idleanimation)

idleanim.Looped = true

I hope this makes sense

#6

Where do I input this? And also is this local script or just normal?

#7

Mind me seeing the part of the script that runs the animation?

#8

It works for both local scripts and normal scripts

#10

local Tool = nil

local animScript = nil

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()

Tool = script.Parent

animScript = Tool.Parent:WaitForChild(“Animate”)

animScript:WaitForChild(“toolnone”):WaitForChild(“ToolNoneAnim”)

animScript.toolnone.ToolNoneAnim.AnimationId = “https://roblox.com/asset/?id=7176674900”

end)

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()

Tool = script.Parent

animScript:WaitForChild(“toolnone”):WaitForChild(“ToolNoneAnim”)

animScript.toolnone.ToolNoneAnim.AnimationId = “https://roblox.com/asset/?id=7176674900”

end)

These are my animations that I have added in.

#12

wait it looked very different from the other scripts i have seen on the dev forum, like what I am saying is the color. Do you know how i can fix this?

#13

You could puy this in after you made a variable for the animation:

local Animation = script.animation
local animationtrack = (players humanoid).Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
animationtrack.Looped = true

Sorry if there are any typos I was writing this on my phone.

#14

It says these animations dont exist anymore.

#15

hmmmmm it also says that for me

#16

heres the animation

#17

Wait how do you like make the looped script look like that like it has a diff color than the script that I posted(on the dev forum btw)

#18

And Im having trouble when you said that I should input the script after I made a variable for the animation.

#19

Would this work?


local Tool = nil

local animScript = nil

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()

Tool = script.Parent

animScript = Tool.Parent:WaitForChild(“Animate”)

animScript:WaitForChild(“toolnone”):WaitForChild(“ToolNoneAnim”)

animScript.toolnone.ToolNoneAnim.AnimationId = “https://roblox.com/asset/?id=7176674900”
local animtrackplay = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(animScript.toolnone.ToolNoneAnim)
animtrackplay.Looped = true
animtrackplay:Play()
end)
