For some reason, the animation script is not working (well, barely at all) and my custom rig won’t move at all.
Here is the model: Craberal.rbxm (21.9 KB)
I started making a rig without human proportions and, I am having a lot of trouble.
I just cannot find what it is, I enabled and disabled collisions on all parts of the body, I tried changing things on the humanoid in the model, and I cannot solve it.
Can you please give me a hand?
Working with moving rigs can be overwhelming. Lucky for you, I made a module that you can use to easily move the rig and more.
I mean, The animations are not playing correctly
In that case, could you provide your script.
It is inside the rig, the “Animate” script
Oh sorry about that. I can’t access my pc right now. I’m replying from my phone. If you could paste the script here, that’d be really helpful.

(don’t dissappear on me dammit)
I have a tutorial on my channel that explains how to rig a custom character.
Take what you learn there and apply the same stuff i teach to your model like how to rig and animate it. It has helpful visuals too! A lot of people who watch the video finish it knowing how to rig and animate a custom character.
I think the problem is the animation.
Load the animation into other assets and replace the ids.
