So I watched the TheDevKing's video on how to play animations and I can't seem to get it working.
(Quick note that I am following the script that TheDevKing exactly, time that the script is finished here: https://youtu.be/tnvlWtuCqUw?t=1143)
COMMUNITY QUESTION
How do I make animations play in game?
1 answer
To make a character play an animation:
This only works in local scripts (i think, im kind of new).
Inside a TextButton, inside a GUI in starterGUI:
local Anim = Instance.new("Animation") -- create the animation.
Anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=5517298285" -- Set the Animation's id.
Anim.Parent = script -- Parent the animation to the script.
local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character -- Get Character.
local AnimLoaded = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Anim) -- Load Animation,we are going to need this for the character to play the anim.
script.Parent.Activated:connect(function() -- Player clicked the UI/GUI.
AnimLoaded:Play() -- Play the animation.
wait(3)
AnimLoaded:Stop() -- Stop Anim.
end)
That should work. BTW dont use that animation, i made it and its really bad.

What do you mean specifically?
Do you want to change the walk animation, idle, etc. or you want a character to play an animation? (for example you click a UI and your character plays an animation)
Guess ill answer both..
To change character animations: Press play to start (or F5), go to the Workspace and search for your character, inside of him you will see a local script called Animate, copy it, and press stop (or shift + F5) and paste the script in StarterPlayer --> StarterCharacterScripts. To edit the animations you just go inside the script and you will se some values,inside of them there's the animations,
or enter the script and modify those ids, in the script you can change the emotes.
