hello im a beginner to scripting i want to make a tool viewmodel that has animation but im struggling to make it work it always saying cannot load the animationclipprovider service. this is the script:
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local shirt = player.Character.Shirt:Clone()
local bodycolor = player.Character["Body Colors"]:Clone()
local Viewmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage.FistModel.VM:Clone()
local idle = Viewmodel.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animations.Idle)
idle:Play()
run = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
Viewmodel.Primary.CFrame = Camera.CFrame
end)
shirt.Parent = Viewmodel
bodycolor.Parent = Viewmodel
Viewmodel.Parent = game.Workspace.Camera
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
workspace.Camera.VM:Destroy()
run:Disconnect()
end)
I would like further information as I think the information you have provided is a bit too brief to actually help you fix this. Please could you send a screenshot of the error, send a screenshot of the viewmodel in the explorer with everything in it expanded, and tell me how your viewmodel is intended to work.
You should be playing animations after you have parented the viewmodel not before. For Roblox, there is no point of playing an animation on something that has a parent of nil since it just wastes memory so it just throws back an error message because the parent is equal to nil. Your code should look like this:
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local shirt = player.Character.Shirt:Clone()
local bodycolor = player.Character["Body Colors"]:Clone()
local Viewmodel = game.ReplicatedStorage.FistModel.VM:Clone()
run = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
Viewmodel.Primary.CFrame = Camera.CFrame
end)
shirt.Parent = Viewmodel
bodycolor.Parent = Viewmodel
Viewmodel.Parent = game.Workspace.Camera
local idle = Viewmodel.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animations.Idle)
idle:Play()
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
workspace.Camera.VM:Destroy()
run:Disconnect()
end)
Also, I would suggest you not to the loading the animation onto the humanoid and instead loading the animation onto the animator, which should be parented to the humanoid. Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated and should not be used; instead use Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(). Another suggestion is to check if the player is wearing a shirt in the first place so you can do the appropriate operations and your code doesn’t break.
