[TheEffectPerson]

I want to make a script used for roblox script builder, and i want to make a karate script :D can anyone teach me how to make certain keys to activate certain animations and damage?

[amyexpertfan11]

do you know how to animate sprites? im a sonic fan and iv been trying to make animated sprite morphs for a while now, and i cant get help from no one, maybe you can help?

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@amyexpertfan11 Sure! If you're trying to make a 2D morph, just make the different movement sprites, then script them to play (change textures) in a loop when you press 'w', 'a', 's', or 'd'.

[amyexpertfan11]

@TheAverageRobloxian can you explain that a little more detailed? im a noob when it comes to this stuff and i dont even know how to script them to play or anything

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@TheAverageRobloxian I'll PM you.

[Superblok7989]

I cant do it. When i get the animation in my workspace it doesnt have anything for it's AnimationID

[louisrocks40]

@Superblok7989 they took this feature out.

[moongoddess8971]

how u save 2 tool?

[Niconiz]

It works! You should make sure people understand that you need to ungroup the "Animator pack" so that the player is in Workspace, I had some trouble figuring that out. But it works, thanks. :)

[darkeyepruduction]

@Niconiz ohh ok now i get it im gonna ungroup the "animator pack" ok thx

[darkeyepruduction]

plizz some1 help me i dont get it to work and i follow all of your steps

[Souljaboy66sVideos]

Oh thank you thank you finaly i can make animations

[killaqua11]

You animated the tool to use CFame or on the model? I am a beginner at scripting

[tomek123star]

Awesome, I tried it and it worked. Everyone that can't do this are obviously too stupid to actually have patience and Go through slowly. I did it and it worked. It should work for everyone else.

[dragonballZfan3000]

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[IMAFIRINMAHLAZAR1]

Thank you so much for this. I just got it and hope it works, I will be glad to pay you if it does. Contact me on ROBLOX - MADDOGS1. (I'm famous)

[bagboy5898]

it didnt work D: i did everything u said but is the animation file supposed to go INTO the animate tool? or player in the workspace?

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@bagboy5898

the tool

[bagboy5898]

@TheAverageRobloxian yes thats what i did but it still didnt work =\ oh wait, your

[bagboy5898]

@TheAverageRobloxian whoops sorry bout the last comment so as i was saying i did that, but in your script it has local at the top do i put that? i tried it with local and without local (im not a good scripter) and it didnt work. what do i do

[bagboy5898]

@TheAverageRobloxian u said at 7:37 that u put it in the animate tool, NOT in workspace  but u put it in the workspace...

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@bagboy5898

Yeah, but then I re-made the animator pack, and changed it so it would be less messy. Sorry about the confusion, but it goes in the tool.

[bagboy5898]

@TheAverageRobloxian i tried that and it still didnt work ill make a video of how im doing and u can correct my mistakes. sorry for all the trouble but i realy want to do this! :)

[Buddydestruction]

Help! I want an NPC to animate, but it won't work. Here's what I did: I put the animation in a tool, which is in the NPC, and put a script in the tool: Tool = script.Parent

humm=Tool.Parent.Enemy

anim = humm:LoadAnimation(Tool.cast)

function attack() anim:Play(0.5)

end

while wait(5) do attack() end

No spelling mistakes, it just won't work.

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@Buddydestruction It's currently not possible to animate NPCs, something about a "matrix interpolation function." So at the moment it's an admin only ability. but it MIGHT be possible in the future.

More info here:

[Buddydestruction]

@TheAverageRobloxian DANG. I was really looking forward to it. But, thanks for the help anyway. :)

[Th4Pwnz0r]

@TheAverageRobloxian Aww... Why did they remove animations?! This was completely stable! God dammit roblox, first you update us with a hud that BURNS my EYES, and now you take away ANIMATION! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[TheClone111]

@TheAverageRobloxian its posible now if u got the know how,im working on a npc that randomly walks that has a diolog!

[JellyMenz]

I fixed it up it works now. Thanks!

[JellyMenz]

wont work for me! I made an amination, saved it, change value to name of the animation but did not work! can u help?

[fatfisherf]

AverageRobloxian I need help.I made an animation now I would like yo uto help me by telling me how I can add a mesh to it.I made an animation of a guy swinging a sword and now i need to know how to add a sword if you know what i mean.

[robloxiannash]

im really confused o.o

[SmashBrosAnimated]

Now I have a question, how do I make this work with a weapon equiped. I mean I know how ot make the animation but how can I put it for a weapon? Please reply back, you rock!

[Firebutt1234]

when i click on the tape measure, it doesn't do anything. when i click on the guy, i just walk toward him HELP!

[goluigi10]

It's nice, but not quite what I was looking for. I'll just stick to using Pi for animations, but it would be nice to know how to do animation across three axi. ((If you know and want to tell me, my Roblox is the same as my Youtube. :/ Don't send spam though. Reason I say is because I don't check my YT inbox that often. ^^"))

[111SOMEBODY111]

Someone made a fap tool... o_O

[cooldude6385]

Is it possible to do multiple body parts at once?

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@cooldude6385

Yes. Same exact steps, just move more than one bodypart into position before clicking "clone key."

[jjpharissTheReal1]

@TheAverageRobloxian Thx it Works

[apkaz1]

I found out why it didnt work. The tool you put the animation in didnt work. =/

[apkaz1]

I found out why it didnt work. The tool you put the animation in didnt work.

[omar4235]

@TheAverageRobloxian Did you get the music off of Odd World Munchs Odyssey?

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@omar4235

[samme135]

[flyingmonkey1001]

[1SmileDude1]

@flyingmonkey1001

I found out what the problem with new animation tool, after save the animation, you have to put it in anime tool from explorer to starterpack (where anime tool is at)

[1SmileDude1]

Why it isn't work for me? I tried that like 4th time, I even copy your wave position, name, etc, then go to solo, I clicked, then it do nothing. Why is that???

[1SmileDude1]

I follow each you do, then it didn't work. Kinda of waste my time, should have test it for fun, not serious.

[RudyGameWalkthroughs]

IT WORKS! Thank you so much! I can create cool things with this :-D

[lawltheroflcakes3]

my comp has problems it sais "an unexptected error occured and ROBLOX needs to quit. We're Sorry!" whenever i try to do tools > test > Play Solo

[KRAWESKUL]

Didnt work

[phou125]

[erikoman222]

[MrSverso]

Okay I think I manage to make a animation... umhh okay I did lie

[dracon56]

I did everything right but it didn't work :(

[RobloxRules777]

[sensor52]

Deranged turky, XD That made me laugh a lot!

[iisthepwnzer]

[mkfan09]

[Mericatscombo]

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@Mericatscombo

[narotu200]

[Clayguy247]

[shotgun160]

[shotgun160]

Thanks

[soaprocks2]

Cool thanks Really helpful :D

[SWLegoKid]

Alright I did everything it said and It is not working >.<

[telamoniac]

VERY NICE !

[RobloxAdvertiser]

this isnt working

everytime i type in my name in the value and then put it in the script and test it in solo mode, in the output it says that the name i put in the value is not a valid member!

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@RobloxAdvertiser

lol, you don't put YOUR name, you put the name of the animation.

[RobloxAdvertiser]

@TheAverageRobloxian i didnt type in my name!

i meant i typed in my name that i chose for my animation!

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@RobloxAdvertiser

2 things.

1. CAPS ARE IMPORTANT.

2. You have to put the name in the value AND the script.

[RobloxAdvertiser]

@TheAverageRobloxian i did pt the name in the value and script

but what do you mean by caps?

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@RobloxAdvertiser

Capital letters. there is a difference between "L" and "l"

if it isn't capitalized correctly, it wont work.

[yomanforeva]

@TheAverageRobloxian i did put them in the right way!

[yomanforeva]

@yomanforeva oh and p.s. this is robloxadvertiser on my new youtube =P

[carlitomaca]

@TheAverageRobloxian I put in caps in script and value nothing worked >_<

[ROBLOXBlockwock]

Can you make a video on how to animate a figure, like on the custom animation demo by shedlesky

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@ROBLOXBlockwock

still working on that, he hoards his special scripts from the rest of us, so we have to figure it out ourselves. >:O

[toondude20]

@TheAverageRobloxian I made an animation using this tool/program and it worked for me online, but not someone who hasn't been in solo with it, is it possible for me to have the animations in solo and then they work?

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@toondude20 no, sorry. animations are like meshes and sounds, other people have to visit in solo to use them.

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@JakeTheSpyStudios not that i know of, my friends and i are working on this. unfortunately, it might end up just like sounds an meshes where only ones the admins make work online. the only custom ones that currently work online are the ones made for the skateboards.

[TheThomasification]

how do I animate things like skateboards and weapons, make a video on that please

[TheThomasification]

FINALLY, THANK YOU!!!!!

[jocoolmen]

hey, i like it very much, do you got any more of that nice stuff?? xD It helped me out very much! can i send you a FR? Shadowcoolmen is my ingame name.

[TheAverageRobloxian]

@jocoolmen lol, yes, you can send me a fr, and i am working on recreating the Halo 3 ESRB Trailer using roblox! :D

[Robloxfan22]

Everytime I make an animation, its either too slow or it just skips half of it.

[Robloxfan22]

Im gonna see if I can make an epic death animation :D

[keeltoll3456]

But can it work online?

*favorites anyway*

[william321113]
