#161

Package Version 61:

  • Changed the default animation structure to include a Emotes and Animations table for R6 and R15 each instead of a seperate EmoteAnims module, this also adds a second specifier parameter to SimpleAnimate.getCopyOfAnimsList() which requires you to specify to copy the animations or the emotes

  • Added SimpleAnimate.getAnimPackageAsync(...) and SimpleAnimate.getEmotePackageAsync(...) which can be used like this:

    This fetches the animations (core and emotes respectively) that the user owns and retrieves the new list with the new animations.

    The RemoteFunctions associated with these async functions have a player request cooldown of 10 seconds (to prevent exploiters from spamming them), but you can adjust them (by setting the REQUEST_COOLDOWN variable) for each async function inside these handlers:

  • Added Connections:SetSwimThreshold() and Connections:SetSwimIdleSpeed()

WIP:

  • Make the new async functions accessible on both server and client (currently only works on client)

The new update is available on the latest package version (61+) and the marketplace

Nice,
How about a testing sample .rbxl or editable testing place.

Package Version 62:

  • Made it so that SimpleAnimate.getAnimPackageAsync(...) and SimpleAnimate.getEmotePackageAsync(...) now require you to pass the player as the first parameter (in order for it to work properly on the server)
    If you call it from the client just pass it as nil

  • Added an AsyncRequestCooldown attribute to the module which determines the cooldown for a player requesting anim and emote packages

  • Appended a playground (test) place to the main post

The new update is available on the latest package version (62+) and the marketplace

The emotes do not work tho

#166

Wdym? Like, in the emote wheel?

#167

yes, the wheel comes up, but if u click on any of them none of them play

#168

Yeah unfortunately I donā€™t think thatā€™s something I can fix soon, itā€™s a really obscure thing

#169

oh, okā€¦ I thought you had custom emotes alsoā€¦

I mean I have them loaded, just canā€™t use em yet :V

#171

what about that other thingy, emoji or whatever that thing is where you can have icon emoji pop up ā€¦

#172

I donā€™t know what youā€™re talking about unfortunately, if you mean chat emotes those do work

#173

Package Version 66:

  • Added different cooldowns for requesting animation and emote packages

  • Fixed module trying to call server function even though itā€™s client-sided by replacing an and or expression with if then else

  • Added Connections:SetIdleSpeed() to match Connections:SetSwimIdleSpeed()

#174

Honestly if people wanna change the speed of an animation let them do it the built in way, next thing you know youā€™ll have to add this for actions and itll be a mess

I do still think the pause idea is a good idea for some situations though, for example

if contextaction == begin then
    Anim:Pause()
elseif contextaction == end then
    if not anim.ispaused then return end
    Anim:Play()
end

best example i could think of but wtv (im on phone)

#175

The only reason i added this is because if I use the speed parameter of Humanoid.Running as the speed for the idle animation, itā€™ll be 0 so it wonā€™t run :V, the animation speed iirc is actually scaled by this so maybe Iā€™ll change that to use the builtin method of having the .speed member in the animation infos instead

Isnā€™t pause essentially just Stop() without resetting the TimePosition? I donā€™t think this 1 feature warrants creating an AnimationTrack wrapper :WHYYYYYY:

Yeah basically just changing the speed to 0 until play is called :l

#178

This is what I meant, would be cool to be able to add custom emotesā€¦

#179

Unfortunately I canā€™t really do this as the EmotesBar module uses the HumanoidDescription which as far as i know i canā€™t modify :V

Also, I just realised HumanoidDescription:GetEmotes() exists and a whole buncha other emote related stuff so I donā€™t even need to retrieve emotes asynchronously :skull_and_crossbones:

#180

umm, what does the last sentence mean?
