How to start an animation when a button is pushed?

Asked 181 views1 answers

I have this code that I put in a local script inside a seat. It's supposed to launch when they click left shift while sitting on it. I can't seem to figure out why it won't work. Thanks in Advance!

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ani = script.Parent.Animation
local aT = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(ani)


uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		aT:Play()
	end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		aT:Play()
	end
end)

Local Script

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ani = script.Parent.Animation
repeat wait() until player.Character ~= nil and workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name) ~= nil
local aT = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(ani)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		aT:Play()
	end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		aT:Stop()
	end
end)

Make sure to have the "gameProcessEvent" at the end, you have 2 play animations, when the InputEnded should prob be for stopping, you need to wait under the player.Character is loaded before loading the animation.

The only problem is it doesn'y work. Could it have something to do with the fact that my character is sitting down. Would making the animation priority - "Action", fix it.

you should only have it if you plan on using it :/

Never Mind, I just made a script in ServerScriptService and told it to change the sit animationId to the biking animationId

Yes, the animation's priority will determine if it is playable depending on the other animations being used
