Tool Idle Animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I play and Idle animation once the tool is equipped but its bugged out
https://gyazo.com/c823926d79936063c954ad82f4c7ace7
The script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
local Animations = script.Parent.Animations
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animtrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations.Idle)

script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()

animtrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle

animtrack:Play()

end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()

animtrack:Stop()

end)

function spawner(func,...)

local co = coroutine.wrap(func)

co(...)

end

Nevermind, your code is fine, it has something to do with Animation Priority.

#4

Okay, it seems like you animated the legs in Animation editor/Moon animator, you should remove the legs keyframes.

#5

if i remove the legs then what is the point in the idle animation?

#6

the legs are the main part of the Idle animation, my issue is that the walking animation (which has a higher animation priority) isnt overlapping the idle animation

#7

The idle animation from ROBLOX still plays since you’re using Animation Priority, if there’s a keyframe on a body part then the idle/walk animation can’t overlap that body part until the animation is stopped/finished (Depending on the Animation Priority)

You can use Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(Speed) end) for stuff like this.

#8

that doesn’t make sense. In the official reference for AnimationTrack Priority it says, “This property sets the priority of an AnimationTrack . Depending on what this is set to, playing multiple animations at once will look to this property to figure out which KeyframePoses should be played over one another.”

#9

Yeah I know, it depends on which Animation Priority it is. Maybe make 2 separate animations?
(Core - Idle - Movement - Action)

#10

well in the same reference it states that Movement animations will be played over Idle animations. The script manually changes the animation to Idle so I know that isn’t the issue. I don’t belive the issue is with the animation priority.

#11

make 2 animations 1 for the arm and 1 for the leg!
or just do only the arm

#12

how would that fix my problem? Not trying to be rude, genuine question <3

#13

Your idle animation is overlapping the default movement animation. To fix this, you can either:

  1. Make a custom movement animation that plays when your moving and the tool is equipped

  2. Delete the leg keyframes from the animation, re-upload it, and replace it (this way, your fist idle animation will still play the arms, and play the correct leg animations, so when your idle, the default idle legs will play while your arms will still be playing)

Sorry if that explanation was confusing.

#14

neither solutions explain why an Idle animation is overlapping a Movement animation

#15

Your custom idle animation is overlapping the default movement animation because it’s priority is higher than the default movement animation. I’m guessing your animation’s priority is set to action. The action animation priority is higher than the movement priority (which is what the default movement animation’s priority is set to). Since your idle animation has the legs animated, it will also overlap the default walking animation’s legs. You need to only animate the arms, so that the arms overlap the default animations while the legs won’t.

#16

no my Idle animation is set as Idle. If you look at the scripts it even states animtrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle.

#17

as i stated before, I don’t belive the issue is with the animation priority.

#18

Nvm guys I found the solution, I re-wrote the default animation script this script is very customized for my own needs, so use with caution
