The animation is playing but the character is not changing?
I'm trying to make it so when you click a button your character does an animation and then his character is changed, when he does it again he goes back to his normal character.
Server:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HoodUp= ReplicatedStorage.HoodUp
local HoodDown= ReplicatedStorage.HoodDown
local hoodupchar = ReplicatedStorage.HoodUpChar
local hoodupcharclone = hoodupchar:Clone()
HoodUp.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Name)
local UserId = Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Name)
local HumanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId)
Player.Character = hoodupcharclone
end)
HoodDown.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Name)
local UserId = Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Name)
local HumanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId)
Player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(HumanoidDescription)
end)
Client
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
repeat wait()
character = player.Character
until character
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)
playing = false
character = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if playing == false then
if character == false then
emote:Play()
playing = true
wait(emote.Length - 0.1)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeCharacter = ReplicatedStorage.HoodUp
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
ChangeCharacter:FireServer(player)
character = true
end)
wait(0.1)
playing = false
end
end
if playing == false then
if character == true then
emote:Play()
playing = true
wait(emote.Length - 0.1)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeCharacter = ReplicatedStorage.HoodDown
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
ChangeCharacter:FireServer(player)
end)
wait(0.1)
playing = false
end
end
end)

You know that you can just load the animation on the client because client animation replicates to the server so everyone can see it, right? Here is the client code:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local animation = -- directory to the animation, if doesn't work use :WaitForChild to select it
local track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
Track:Play()
-- if you wanna put it in a event, just put that statement into the event, not the variables.
Also if you wanna do it server-sided here is it:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local animation = -- directory to animation
local Track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
Track:Play()
end)
end)
Why we don't use player.CharacterAdded:Wait() because the characteradded event is when the character is added, that means it already exists so we don't have to use the :Wait() like the client code.
Hope this helped :D
