Animation Won't Play When The Mouse Clicks?

Asked by

So I am creating a simulator and most people know that when you are holding the tool or weapon and you click it plays and animation and gives strength. I am not focusing on the strength yet but I just need help on the animation. So the tool I am using is a wand and when you are holding it and you click, the animation will play. Everything is fine except for the animation. The animation won't play. The AnimationId is correct and and the animation is not nil. Everything but the "AnimationIsNil" is printing. I have moved some lines to other places and it still does not work. If any of you have a solution please tell me.

This is a local script in the StarterPlayerScripts

view source
01local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
02local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
03if not Character or not Character.Parent then
04    Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
05end
06local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
07local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
08local WandMovement = Instance.new("Animation")
09WandMovement.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6602046971"
10local Tool = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
11 
12Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
13    print("ToolEquippedFUnction")
14    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
15        print("IntoMouseButtonFunction")

It will only play the animation when you equip and click at the same frame since it only fires the mouse click function when Tool equipped event is fired. So do this instead:

view source
01debounce = false
02local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
03if not Character or not Character.Parent then
04    Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
05end
06local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
07local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
08local WandMovement = Instance.new("Animation")
09WandMovement.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6602046971"
10local Tool = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
11 
12Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
13    if debounce = false then
14        debounce = true
15        if Character:FindFirstChild(""..Tool.Name) then

I added debounce (cooldown) in case that was the problem.

Instead of

Animator:LoadAnimation(WandMovement)

you should try doing

Humanoid:LoadAnimation(WandMovement)

If this doesn't work, try changing the animation priority. I hope this helped!

Humanoid:LoadAnimation is deprecated. Animator:LoadAnimation is correct NGC4637 602 — 4y
