Why won't it play the animation?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi, my name is bullet!, today i’ve ran into another issue. I was working on revamping my game’s sprint code and i ran into a problem, when trying to get the jump animation to work.

So, no errors happen, it prints play [ read the script for context ], but all the player does is jump up in the air with the run animation still playing, but the jump animation not.

here’s the script/code snippet of the jump:

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space and Running == true and Stamina.Value >= 2 then
		if Character.Dancing.Value == false then
			if Character.ComicallyLarge.Value == false then
				
				if not (JumpAnim) then
					JumpAnim = Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim2)
				end
				
				RunAnim:Stop()
				
				task.wait()
				
				JumpAnim:Play()
				print("play")
				
				task.wait()
				
				Stamina.Value -= 2
				
				task.wait()
				
				script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(Stamina.Value/ 100, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Linear",0)
				script.Parent.Parent.StaminaStatus.Text = Stamina.Value.."/".."100"
			end
		end
	end

so, what do you think it could be? thanks for reading, and please help if you can!

Hey bullet!

Make sure you provide a little bit more of code so fellow scripters can further understand what you’re talking about.

Onto the support;

  • Does the stamina actually drain?
  • Does the run animation repeatedly play? (in a loop or an event)
  • Are you sure the animation’s Priority is above the run animation’s Priority?
  • Are you sure the animation id’s for ‘JumpAnim’ or ‘Anim2’ belong to you or a group?

Since the condition statements are true and they run the specified code as you said, these are the only things I can come up with. Make sure to reply if you’ve checked these and it still doesn’t work.

The stamina does drain, the run animation is a loop, the jump animation priority is core and is a loop, the run is movement, and the ids belong to the group of the game.

after changing the jump animation priority to core [ it was on movement aka same as run before ] it did work, but it still doesn’t loop even though the animation is a loop

Here is a list of all animation priority Enums

Core is the lowest priority for animations, which means pretty much any animation with higher priority can play over it. I recommend to set your Jump animation priority to Action.

If you’re 100% sure that the animation is looped in the editor, you can always try making it looped in the script itself. I suppose that Looped only works when setting it before you play the track. Here’s an example below:

JumpAnim.Looped = true

Let me know if this helped! :slight_smile:

dang, roblox makes it seem like core is the highest priority since it’s at the top of the animation priority list, thanks for the solution!
