How do you animate without the animation editor?

I want to animate my character by using a regular script and no other instances. I tried searching for a tutorial on Google and YouTube but I couldn't find anything. Can someone please give me an example on how to do this?

You can. However, It requires a lot of scripting.

I have a question, why would you want to do this?

Are you trying to get the character to do some form of animation like waving or jumping?

I'm trying to make a script that detects when the player clicks a button by using remotes and then makes the player move his arms and make it look like the player is pressing the button. I don't want to use animation instances because I am helping one of my friends create a game and I believe that the animation will stop working once he removes my access to team create.

I don't know exactly how to do this, but couldn't you just have your friend make the animations?

He doesn't know how and he is not willing to let me get into his account :(

If you really do want to do this, you'd have to manipulate the Motor6D's in the character directly, for what you're trying to do I don't think it should be that hard to do

Hi! I'm BlackOrange and I will be helping you out today!

#Problem:#

I see that the issue is you want your friend to be able to access the animation. Due to roblox, you are not able to share animations. But there is a simple solution to this rather then scripting it.

#Solution:#

The solution is actually fairly simple. Notice how there is a "Save" option when you animate? After you animate, Save the animation on the dummy. Now tell your FRIEND to export the animation. Now the animation belongs to him.

If you really wanna script it, it would take ALOT of CFraming and Moto6D manipulation.

Hopefully this helped you out.

Best of luck developer!

PS: Go tell your friend to get the animation editor and load in the animation then export it. You can then ask him for the animation id.
