How to make an animation on Mob/NPC on the touch of a block by a local player happen?

Asked by 7 years ago

Hello, I have a problem with making an animation happen on an Mob/NPC. I am trying to make an rpg. I want this animation to happen on the touch of a block, but it doesn't seen to work at all. I used the animation editor plugin to make the animation on the npc and all I need is to make that animation happen when the local player touches a specific block.

I put some code in the block and in the NPC but unsurprisingly it didn't work.

Here is the code for the block:


local animation = Instance.new("Animation") animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=863113961" function onTouched() game.Workspace.Destrioggok.Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks("http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=863113961") script:play("http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=863113961") end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Here is the code for the NPC:


-- Import Animation local animation = Instance.new("Animation") animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=863113961" -- Local variables local animTrack = nil local canPlay = true function playShockAnim(Source) if canPlay then local playAnimation = game.Destrioggok.Character canPlay = true animTrack = game.Destrioggok.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) -- Load animation into Humanoid animTrack.KeyFrameReached:connect(function(keyframeName) -- Bind function to KeyframeReached event if keyframeName == "end" then canPlay = false end end) animTrack:Play() -- Start the animation end end script.Parent:WaitForChild("ShockEvent").OnClientEvent:connect(playShockAnim) -- Connect remote event to function playing animation

I had no idea what I was doing, but I'm desperate to know how to do it, please help me!!!

Here is the code for the block:

local animation = Instance.new("BoolValue")
animation.Value = false
animation.Name = "CanPlay"

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)

if hit.Parent ~= nil then 
 if hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then
  if hit.Parent.Character ~= nil then
   animation.Parent = hit.Parent
   animation.Value = true
  end
 end
end

end)

For the Humanoid, NPC :

-- Import Animation
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=863113961"

-- Local variables
local animTrack = nil
local canPlay = script.Parent:findFirstChild("CanPlay")

function playShockAnim(Source)
    if canPlay then
        local playAnimation = game.Destrioggok.Character
        canPlay.Value = false
        animTrack = game.Destrioggok.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) -- Load animation into Humanoid
        animTrack.KeyFrameReached:connect(function(keyframeName) -- Bind function to KeyframeReached event
            if keyframeName == "end" then
                canPlay.Value = true
            end
        end)
        animTrack:Play() -- Start the animation
    end


end

script.Parent:WaitForChild("CanPlay").Changed:connect(playShockAnim)


What I did above is : I created a BoolValue to store the canplay ability. If the NPC touches the part , the BoolValue will transfer to the person or Humanoid that touched it.Then if the Canplay ability is true , the animation plays.

Test it, I am still learning RbxLua.

Thank you for reading.
