Hey scriptinghelpers, this is the old ROBLOX animation script for characters script that I've redone. I'm having some problems with only one thing. The slash animation when I'm using swords (the linked sword by ROBLOX to be specific is the one I tested), just doesn't work. It keeps adding a new value every time but, the animation doesn't work. Eventually after clicking so many times it lunges. Below you will find the animate tool function and the whole script. Thanks for the help in advance! I really appreciate it. I'm only here to learn. I say 2010 because, that's the year I first played ROBLOX so I remember it.
The solution to the problem I forgot to say "className" I just put name.
The function from a Local Script inside of a Script inside of ServerScriptStorage
function animateTool()
if (toolAnim == "None") then
RightShoulder:SetDesiredAngle(1.57)
return
end
if (toolAnim == "Slash") then
RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5
RightShoulder:SetDesiredAngle(0)
return
end
if (toolAnim == "Lunge") then
RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5
LeftShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5
RightHip.MaxVelocity = 0.5
LeftHip.MaxVelocity = 0.5
RightShoulder:SetDesiredAngle(1.57)
LeftShoulder:SetDesiredAngle(1)
RightHip:SetDesiredAngle(1.57)
LeftHip:SetDesiredAngle(1)
return
end
end
The full script just incase you need it.
