Am i doing this custom animation rig keybind correct?

Asked 310 views1 answers

Trying to come up with a script that plays an animation once "q" is pressed, not seeming to work... Is anything wrong?

Should i be doing it differently?

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation",script)
Animation.AnimationId = "483517771"
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(Input)
 if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
  local NewAni = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
  NewAni:Play()
 end
end)

end)

When i do press q, the output gives me "00:30:39.265 - Animation failed to load : Players.Erythia.PlayerGui.LocalScript.Animation"

Any help or advice would be great, thanks!

Try this:

Let me know if any error pops up, because I'm a bit rusty on animations, and I can't test to see if it works due to ROBLOX not allowing external animations to work in Studio.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer 
local anim = Instance.new("Animation")  -- iirc, you don't pass the parent parameter
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=483517771" -- animationId's need to be in this format to find the ID of the animation. But they can also be in the format "rbxassetid://483517771" to work

local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')

local newAnimation = nil -- just using the regular variable, rather than a local one

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		newAnimation = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
		newAnimation:Play()
	end
end)

If it worked, feel free to accept this answer. It helps the both of us!!
