How do i loop an animation when "E" is pressed?

Asked by 7 years ago

I'm trying to make a crawl animation play when you click "E" but i want it to loop until i release "E"... How?

Code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer repeat wait() until player.Character.Humanoid local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local anim = Instance.new("Animation") anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1267282598"

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) if key == "e" then local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim) playAnim:Play() end end)

The animation is 0.1 seconds long so do i just have to make it like 100 sec long and it will automatically loop until i no longer press it?

You could create a loop when e is pressed. StoleYourClothes 105 — 7y

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer repeat wait() until player.Character.Humanoid 
local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid 
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local anim = Instance.new("Animation") 
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1267282598"


mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) 
    if key == "e" then
        while wait() do --loops animation
            local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim) 
            playAnim:Play() 
            mouse.KeyUp:connect(function() --function happens when key isn't pressed
                playAnim:Stop() 
        end)
    end 
end)

All I did was add a while loop in order to loop the animation. Inside the loop, I played the animation & put in a function that stops the animation. The function occurs when the key stops being pressed.

I think you could also put in while wait() and key == "e" do instead of the function, but I'm not sure.

If this answered your question, please mark this as the answer. If not, tell me why in the comments. Thanks!

keyDown is deprecated, use UserInputService instead oSyM8V3N 429 — 7y
