How do i add an animation when the NPC is hitting ?

Asked 357 views1 answers

I need help on adding a feature on this script. It should activate an animation when the NPC hits an humanoid.

r = game:service("RunService") 
ching = false 


local mobs = script.Parent.Mobs:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #mobs do
function blow(hit) 
if ching == true then return end 
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
if humanoid~=nil then 
local vCharacter = humanoid.Parent 
local vPlayer = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(vCharacter) 
dt = Game.Workspace.DynamicText:Clone()
ching = true 
print("SWORD HIT") 
tagHumanoid(humanoid, vPlayer) 
local damage = math.random(mobs[i].SETTINGS.MinDmg.Value,mobs[i].SETTINGS.MaxDmg.Value) 
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage) 
local part = Instance.new("BillboardGui") 
part.Size = UDim2.new(0,50,0,100)
part.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,2,0)
local part2 = Instance.new("TextLabel") 
part2.FontSize = "Size24"
part2.Font = "ArialBold"
part2.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0) 
part2.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0) 
part2.BackgroundTransparency = 1
part2.Parent = part 
part2.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
dt.Parent = part2
dt.Disabled = false
part.Parent = humanoid.Parent.Head
part.Adornee = part.Parent 
if (damage == 0) then 
part2.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0/255,102/255,255/255) 
part2.Text = ""..damage.."" 
else 
part2.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255/255,0/255,0/255) 
part2.Text = "-"..damage.."" 
end 
wait(1) 
ching = false  
wait(.1) 
untagHumanoid(humanoid) 
else print("Humanoid does not exist or incorrect humanoid!") --Attempt to make sword unbreakable.
end 
end 

function tagHumanoid(humanoid, player) 
local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue") 
creator_tag.Value = player 
creator_tag.Name = "creator" 
creator_tag.Parent = humanoid 
end 

function untagHumanoid(humanoid) 
if humanoid ~= nil then 
local tag = humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") 
if tag ~= nil then 
tag.Parent = nil 
end 
end 
end 
mobs[i].Sword.Handle.Touched:connect(blow)
end

You need to do a few things first;

  1. Make the animation, I'm assuming you've already got one lined up, so that leads us onto number
  2. Place the Animation either in a little folder in the NPC, or just the script, then path to the humanoid like so:
local Humanoid = pathtohumanoid
local Animation = pathtoanimation
local AnimTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation) --< this means the animations waiting
AnimTrack:Play(fade) --< plays the animation. fade is default 0, but can transition with a time.

if you want it faster or slower,

AnimTrack:AdjustSpeed(Speed) --< Normal speed is 1, lower is slower, higher is faster
AnimTrack:Stop(fade) --< again, default to 0, but can be transitioned.

Also, instead of creating a unique function for every enemy, use the same one and only create multiple connections:

function blow(hit, NPCmodel) --< ey, pretty clever!

for i_,i in pairs(mobs) do
mobs[i].Sword.Handle.Touched:connect(function(part) --<Super small! 
blow(part, mobs[i])
end)
end
