Using Multiple Punch Animations Consecutively

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Greetings Dev Forum. I have a rather simple issue with my punching script. I want to utilize an additional punch animation for the left arm which plays after the right arm punch animation. Any help is appreciated!

--//This is in StarterCharacterScripts
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local Animation = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("Animation"))

--// Settings
--//local Keybind = UserInputType.MouseBot

local Damage = 5
local Debounce = 0.1
local Keybind = Enum.KeyCode.F
local CanPunch = true

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,busy)
	if input.KeyCode == Keybind and not busy then
		if CanPunch == true then
			CanPunch = false
			Animation:Play()
			Animation.Looped = false
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote.Punch:FireServer(Damage)
			wait(Debounce)
			CanPunch = true
		end
	end
end)


--// This is in ServerScriptService

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote.Punch.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, damage)
	for i,target in pairs(game.Workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if target.Name ~= player.Name then
			if(target.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude < 5 then
				target.Character.Humanoid.Health -= damage
			end
		end
	end
end)

--// ~= is not equal to

You can use the modulus ‘%’ operator and a counting system to consecutively load animations from a table like so:

--//This is in StarterCharacterScripts
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

--// Settings
--//local Keybind = UserInputType.MouseBot

local count = 1
local Anims = {
	script:WaitForChild('Animation1'), --change these to
	script:WaitForChild('Animation2'), --your animations
} --you can add more and it will still work


local Damage = 5
local Debounce = 0.1
local Keybind = Enum.KeyCode.F
local CanPunch = true


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,busy)
	if input.KeyCode == Keybind and not busy then
		if CanPunch == true then
			CanPunch = false
			
			count = (count%#Anims)+1 --this is gonna return the index of the next animation in 'Anims'
			
			--load the animation from Anims table at index 'count' position
			local Animation = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Anims[count])
			Animation:Play()
			Animation.Looped = false
			
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote.Punch:FireServer(Damage)
			wait(Debounce)
			CanPunch = true
		end
	end
end)

Basically what it does is load the next animation in the table by increasing its index by 1. If it reaches the end of the table it goes back to the first animation in the table due to the % operator
