error LoadAnimation is not a valid member of Part ?

Asked 1,258 views1 answers

I made a script for swimming and its saying "LoadAnimation is not a valid member of Part" when ever I touch the Part named Water this is the script:

function Swimming(player,Humanoid)
	local animation=Instance.new("Animation")
	animation.AnimationId="http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=1010301459"
	local animTrack=player:LoadAnimation(animation)
	animTrack:Play()   
 print "going to swim this player on:"
  local debounce=false
	if debounce==false then
 	   debounce = true
   	  print(player.Model.Name)
  	  script.Parent=workspace.Water
 end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Swimming)

this is the first animation script I made, what I want it to do is play my animation when ever I touch the scripts parent but the error I get in the output is "LoadAnimation is not a valid member of Part" please help me fix this.thx

you need to index the parent of the newly created animation on line 2.

The Touched event passes the base part that touched not the player and humanoid.

✓ Accepted answer
local debounce = false -- debounce needs to be outside or else it will be set to false every time the function runs
function Swimming(part)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) -- checks if limb touched by getting the player from its character
	if player then
		if debounce == false then	
			local animation = Instance.new("Animation") -- loads animation
			animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=1010301459"
			animation.Parent = player.Character.Humanoid -- sets animation parent to humanoid
			local animTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) --loads anim  
			debounce = true --sets db to true
			animTrack:Play() -- plays
			print("swimming player: " .. player.Character.Name) -- prints "swimming player: creeperhunter76"
			wait(4)
		end
		debounce = false
	end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Swimming)
