Weird Animation Bug

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hi, I am making this game and I made this Animation/Sprint script but whenever I equip a tool/Sword and run my character gets bugged in a weird way, but when I run without holding any Weapons it plays the animation normally.

I want help fixing it maybe it has to do something with the script and not the Animation

if running then
		local primary_weapon = replicatedstorage.Weapons:FindFirstChild(client_data.PrimaryWeapon.Value)
		if primary_weapon then
			local weapon_type = primary_weapon.Type.Value

			if weapon_type == "Sword" and client_alive:FindFirstChild("Has Weapon") and not saber_sprint.IsPlaying then
				stop_running()
				saber_sprint:Play()
				saber_sprint:AdjustSpeed(1.5)
			elseif weapon_type == "Greatsword" and client_alive:FindFirstChild("Has Weapon") and not greatsword_sprint.IsPlaying then
				stop_running()
				greatsword_sprint:Play()
				greatsword_sprint:AdjustSpeed(1.5)
			elseif not normal_sprint.IsPlaying then
				stop_running()
				normal_sprint:Play()
				normal_sprint:AdjustSpeed(1.5)
			end
		end
	elseif saber_sprint.IsPlaying or normal_sprint.IsPlaying or greatsword_sprint.IsPlaying then
		stop_running()
	end

What’s the prority of the animation? is it action? Try to set the animation priority to something higher than action.

#3

Thats most likely not the problem. Is this code in a loop?

no the priority is Movement and it is in a Loop

#5

dont use a loop, instead make the animation’s looped proprety set to true. and set the priority to action 4

If you don’t mind me asking how am I supposed to set Looped Property to true? do you mean the Circle type thing with the arrow inside?

#7

Its a proprety inside the animation instance…

#8

Not sure How I can check that, it does rely on Events though.

#9

… loops include:

while true do

while task.wait() do

runservice.Heartbeat:Connect(function()

runservice.RenderStepped:Connect(function()

These are loops, there’s a proprety inside the animation instance called Looped
Set it to true

#11

Only if its an actual animation keyframes thingy. it wont work if its an animation holder

#12

well now that you mention it yes. it uses runservice.Stepped:Connect(Function) and that Sprint part of the script is located inside that function.

#13

I set it to true and false but It didn’t work I couldn’t find Looped but

I found a Loop Boolean

#14

first off ur doing 2 loops at the same time, thats just breaking ur code and lagging a lot even if u use runservice, second why are u using a loop for a sprint script?

#15

thats your problem. The animation is playing constantly which is causing it to bug out.

#16

I Didn’t actually make the script I just modified it to work with Different types of weapons so instead of it just doing normal Sprint Anim if the player is holding a weapon and the client script sees that the weapons Type is “Sword” it plays Another Animation instead of the default sprint. and then I don’t understand why the default works while holding a tool doesn’t
Sorry for not saying that I just modified it and didn’t fully script it :pensive:

#17

make a boolean, if its true, play the sprint animation then set the boolean to false.

When the player stops sprinting, set the boolean to true. This is what i usually do for things i only want to fire once in loops.

#18

It only plays the animation if the sprint event is fired the problem is somewhere here

if weapon_type == "Sword" and client_alive:FindFirstChild("Has Weapon") and not saber_sprint.IsPlaying then
				stop_running()
				saber_sprint:Play()
				saber_sprint:AdjustSpeed(1.5)
			elseif weapon_type == "Greatsword" and client_alive:FindFirstChild("Has Weapon") and not greatsword_sprint.IsPlaying then
				stop_running()
				greatsword_sprint:Play()
				greatsword_sprint:AdjustSpeed(1.5)
			elseif not normal_sprint.IsPlaying then
				stop_running()
				normal_sprint:Play()
				normal_sprint:AdjustSpeed(1.5)
			end
		end
	elseif saber_sprint.IsPlaying or normal_sprint.IsPlaying or greatsword_sprint.IsPlaying then
		stop_running()
	end

Is sprint fired in a loop?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

#20

As you said if it is runservice function its in a Loop so I guess you can say that
