Key down Animation won't work?
As mentioned on my title, I've read through all the pages in wiki on Animations so I believe there should be no errors but yet it doesn't work, I even watched about 5 video tutorials from highly recommended Roblox channels and yet I still can't identify any errors especially since there's nothing in the output. Here's the script:
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(Key)
if Key == "q" then
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=281476213"
local animTrack = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation, Player.Character)
animTrack:Play()
end
end)
Thanks for the Help!

KeyDown is deprecated
One problem is that KeyDown is deprecated, so don't use it.
Use proper events
Second, you are using KeyDown event of mouse, which does not exist. You can use Button1Down and Button1Up events for checking for clicks. For more information, check:
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Mouse
User Input Service
What I suggest you to use, though, is UserInputService, widely known as UIS.
First, you need to get the service:
UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
Then, you need to bind an event that fires when input has began and/or ended, depending on what you want to achieve.
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input,processed)
if not processed then
-- code
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(input,processed)
if not processed then
-- code
end
end)
When processed is false, it means that you can almost certainly assume that the input is intentional. Otherwise, you would capture input while someone is typing in chat and similar, which you usually don't want.
Next thing you have to do is check if key inputted is your desired key.
if input.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.Q then
-- code
end
KeyCode variable holds the key that has been inputted (either started pressing on InputBegan event or released press on InputEnded event).
Here are all KeyCode Enums:
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Enum/KeyCode
Now, you are set to do whatever you want when desired input is present. For more information about UIS, check out:
http://wiki.roblox.com/?title=API:Class/UserInputService
One more thing, I am not sure, but I think you should use
rbxassetid:// instead of http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=ID.
If that's not the case, you can revert the change I made.
Putting this all together for your code:
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input,processed)
if not processed then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://281476213"
local animTrack = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation, Player.Character)
animTrack:Play()
end
end
end)
Hope this helped.
