I just created my first animation and I wanted to test it. I'm currently testing it in an NPC. This is the script im using:
anim = script.Parent.Animation
aCon = script.Parent.AnimationController
animTrack = aCon:LoadAnimation(anim)
while wait(4) do
animTrack:Play()
end
but the animation doesnt play. Any idea why?
I don't think it's a good idea to use a server script to play an animation for your NPC. You should have a regular script inside the NPC to play the animation for the NPC. I'm not too familiar with animation control, but another way to play an animation for an NPC is to load the animation to the their Humanoid.
This is a regular script inside the NPC
anim = script.Parent.Animation -- Where the animation is.
aCon = script.Parent.Humanoid --Where the NPC's Humanoid is.
animTrack = aCon:LoadAnimation(anim)
while wait(4) do
animTrack:Play()
end
Server script = normal script and ,if i'm not mistaken, loading the animation to the humanoid is for player animations
It works for NPC's too I did it in my game.
Your NPC must have a HumanoidRootPart to play an animation
You are right, just tested it. Many thanks!
