A function to change the animation everytime somebody resets or respawns?

Asked Apr 25, 2018301 views2 answers

So I have a function to change the walk animation but I'm not sure how to trigger it when a player resets.

here is the function

function addAnimation(player)
    wait(1)
player.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/? 
    id=1661650912"
end

I'm not sure if there is an event or how I would figure out if a player reset or respawn. Any help is appreciated :)

use PlayerAdded() and CharacterAdded. PlayerAdded is triggered in the Players when someone is added, and CharacterAdded is triggered when the Player spawns.

function addAnimation(character)
    wait(1)
character:WaitForChild("Animate").walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/? 
    id=1661650912"
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(addAnimation)
end)

I'll explain some other changes I did to your script.

I changed player at line 1 and 3 to character so it would detect the Character directly instead of having to get it through the player.

I changed Animate at line 3 to WaitForChild("Animate") because CharacterAdded fires before the animate script is loaded in. WaitForChild() will make the function wait until the animation script has loaded.

In the CharacterAdded event

local function addAnimation(player)
    wait(1)
    player.Character.Animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1661650912"
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		addAnimation(Player)
	end)
end)
