How to move forward while performing animation?

Asked by

So I'm very new to scripting, but I am trying to make a roll script where the player does a roll animation and moves forward, when a key is pressed. I got everything working except for the part where the player moves forward, I want it to be a fixed distance so the player can't interrupt it in anyway, and the player should roll in the direction that the player was already moving. So it's basically a Dark Souls roll. It would be amazing if someone could help me.

This is my code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character.Humanoid
local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
local mouse = player:GetMouse()



local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=8182577095" 


local debounce = false
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
    if key == "q" and not debounce then
        debounce = true

        local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
        playAnim:Play()


        wait(1)
        debounce = false
end




end)

Mouse.KeyDown was superseded. You should instead use UserInputService.

On InputBegan, you could get the player's root part, and give it a velocity depending on its LookVector.

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, typing)
    local Root = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart -- get the HumanoidRootPart
    if not typing and input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then -- check if the player pressed Q
        Root.Velocity = Root.CFrame.LookVector * 200 -- apply a velocity
    end
end)
