Mouse keydown animation problem?

Asked 369 views1 answers

I have a script to make my character do a animation when i click with the mouse button but it does the animation only when im walking or jumping, and not by clicking with the mouse.

ps: this is a local script in the StarterPack

local player = script.Parent.Parent
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local sword = player.PlayerGui.UI.Armor.Sword.ItemClass
local A = Instance.new("Animation")
A.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=182377268"
local B = Instance.new("Animation")
B.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=182377825"

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
	if sword.Value == "Sword" then
		local animTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(A)
        animTrack:Play()
	elseif sword.Value == "Axe" then
		local animTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(B)
        animTrack:Play()
	end
end)

In my opinion, you did the link wrong, try changing it to 'http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=182377825'.

You should use Button1Down not KeyDown. KeyDown is used for keyboard keys like : WASD. Button1Down is when you left click. Also you should have the script wait before the player loads, you might have problems in online mode without it.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Mouse/Button1Down

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Mouse/KeyDown

repeat wait()
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
until (player) and (player.Character)

local mouse = player:GetMouse();
local sword = player.PlayerGui.UI.Armor.Sword.ItemClass;
local A, B = Instance.new("Animation"), Instance.new("Animation");
A.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=182377268";
B.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=182377825";

mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
    if sword.Value == "Sword" then
        local animTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(A);
        animTrack:Play();
    elseif sword.Value == "Axe" then
        local animTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(B);
        animTrack:Play();
    end
end)

Don't forget to mark this as solved and as the correct answer!

You do not have to wait for LocalPlayer. You should wait for PlayerGui and its descendants.

This method still works though. I've used it on the other objects in rare occasions.
