How do I animate large humanoid figures with script?

Asked by 6 years ago

I am making a sort of survival game with a twist, and I'm trying to create somewhat of a boss for it. The dimensions for the boss are exactly three times the normal humanoid dimensions. The only problem is, simply dragging the animation script from a normal zombie to the giant one causes the giant to become disfigured and distorted. Bare in mind it does carry a sword with the dimensions also exactly multiplied by three. I was wondering if there was a way around this, or just simply a script someone could create for me? I've tried using several animation plugins but the limbs and head are never detected after selecting the root part of the "dummy". I also made sure to duplicate the joints within the torso and replicated the data from within the original zombie.

This is the current animation script, it is fairly independent:


function waitForChild(parent, childName) while true do local child = parent:findFirstChild(childName) if child then return child end parent.ChildAdded:wait() end end local Figure = script.Parent local Torso = waitForChild(Figure, "Torso") local RightShoulder = waitForChild(Torso, "Right Shoulder") local LeftShoulder = waitForChild(Torso, "Left Shoulder") local RightHip = waitForChild(Torso, "Right Hip") local LeftHip = waitForChild(Torso, "Left Hip") local Neck = waitForChild(Torso, "Neck") local Humanoid = waitForChild(Figure, "Zombie") local pose = "Standing" local toolAnim = "None" local toolAnimTime = 0 local isSeated = false -- functions function onRunning(speed) if isSeated then return end if speed>0 then pose = "Running" else pose = "Standing" end end function onDied() pose = "Dead" end function onJumping() isSeated = false pose = "Jumping" end function onClimbing() pose = "Climbing" end function onGettingUp() pose = "GettingUp" end function onFreeFall() pose = "FreeFall" end function onFallingDown() pose = "FallingDown" end function onSeated() isSeated = true pose = "Seated" print("Seated") end function moveJump() RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 LeftShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 RightShoulder.DesiredAngle = 3.14 LeftShoulder.DesiredAngle = -3.14 RightHip.DesiredAngle = 0 LeftHip.DesiredAngle = 0 end -- same as jump for now function moveFreeFall() RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 LeftShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 RightShoulder.DesiredAngle = 3.14 LeftShoulder.DesiredAngle = -3.14 RightHip.DesiredAngle = 0 LeftHip.DesiredAngle = 0 end function moveSit() print("Move Sit") RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.15 LeftShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.15 RightShoulder.DesiredAngle = 3.14 /2 LeftShoulder.DesiredAngle = -3.14 /2 RightHip.DesiredAngle = 3.14 /2 LeftHip.DesiredAngle = -3.14 /2 end function getTool() kidTable = Figure:children() if (kidTable ~= nil) then numKids = #kidTable for i=1,numKids do if (kidTable[i].className == "Tool") then return kidTable[i] end end end return nil end function getToolAnim(tool) c = tool:children() for i=1,#c do if (c[i].Name == "toolanim" and c[i].className == "StringValue") then return c[i] end end return nil end function animateTool() if (toolAnim == "None") then RightShoulder.DesiredAngle = 1.57 return end if (toolAnim == "Slash") then RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 RightShoulder.DesiredAngle = 0 return end if (toolAnim == "Lunge") then RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 LeftShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 RightHip.MaxVelocity = 0.5 LeftHip.MaxVelocity = 0.5 RightShoulder.DesiredAngle = 1.57 LeftShoulder.DesiredAngle = 1.0 RightHip.DesiredAngle = 1.57 LeftHip.DesiredAngle = 1.0 return end end function move(time) local amplitude local frequency if (pose == "Jumping") then moveJump() return end if (pose == "FreeFall") then moveFreeFall() return end if (pose == "Seated") then moveSit() return end local climbFudge = 0 if (pose == "Running") then RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.15 LeftShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.15 amplitude = 1 frequency = 9 elseif (pose == "Climbing") then RightShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 LeftShoulder.MaxVelocity = 0.5 amplitude = 1 frequency = 9 climbFudge = 3.14 else amplitude = 0.1 frequency = 1 end desiredAngle = amplitude * math.sin(time*frequency) RightShoulder.DesiredAngle = desiredAngle + climbFudge LeftShoulder.DesiredAngle = desiredAngle - climbFudge RightHip.DesiredAngle = -desiredAngle LeftHip.DesiredAngle = -desiredAngle local tool = getTool() if tool ~= nil then animStringValueObject = getToolAnim(tool) if animStringValueObject ~= nil then toolAnim = animStringValueObject.Value -- message recieved, delete StringValue animStringValueObject.Parent = nil toolAnimTime = time + .3 end if time > toolAnimTime then toolAnimTime = 0 toolAnim = "None" end animateTool() else toolAnim = "None" toolAnimTime = 0 end end -- connect events Humanoid.Died:connect(onDied) Humanoid.Running:connect(onRunning) Humanoid.Jumping:connect(onJumping) Humanoid.Climbing:connect(onClimbing) Humanoid.GettingUp:connect(onGettingUp) Humanoid.FreeFalling:connect(onFreeFall) Humanoid.FallingDown:connect(onFallingDown) Humanoid.Seated:connect(onSeated) -- main program local nextTime = 0 local runService = game:service("RunService"); while Figure.Parent~=nil do time = runService.Stepped:wait() if time > nextTime then move(time) nextTime = time + 0.1 end end

Thanks in advance!

When you used the connect events, you used :connect() instead of :Connect() :connect()wouldn't work in the released game so that's why you should use :Connect() instead of :connect() saSlol2436 716 — 6y

To animate a bigger humanoid, you can use : [](http://(https://www.roblox.com/library/171922549/Character-Creator-BETA) to attach your custom arms and legs to your custom character. It is also compatible with the Roblox Animation Editor

Model Rigger by CloneTrooper1019 is probably the most easiest approach. https://www.roblox.com/library/188486042/Model-Rigger-Plugin PyccknnXakep 1225 — 6y

Thank you so much! I was finally able to detect the limbs with the animation maker using the Character Creator! Thanks again, I would've never been able to figure this out myself! zacster129 0 — 6y
