[@alekzazza3337]

This video is incredible! Even tho I'm still new I've easly been able to make a walking animation even tho it could still be much better and I know that will only improve with expericence, your video explains in a really good way thanks!

[@StylistTheAnimator]

This is easily the most helpful video I’ve ever Watched thank you so much 🙏

[@Pandastroyer]

I'm very glad it was helpful! :D

[@dunlng]

For anyone wondering why the code won't work even if the script is correctly typed, try checking where you published the animation, in my case, i published the animation and set the creator to me, however, the use of the animation was restricted due to the game being on a group and the animation being on my property, nonetheless, i figured that to solve is as simple as to re-publish it as set to the game's group property

[@wat3823]

the only option for my animation is that it sets the creator to me and i dont know where to change it also my game is not a group game but it has my friends and i working on it does that have anything to do with it

[@NoxerRu]

thank you so much, I was trying to make a battlegrounds game but most of the tutorials involved using moon animator, I was about give up when I saw this video, it helped me so much! thank you!

Wow you speak so clearly and understandable thanks for the help 😮but can you make the run more faster and can you make it in to a fight animation, i saw a lot of people make into fighting animation, so can you make a vid for a tutorial?by the way I'm sub

[@Edit.Eclipses]

Good tuto but i suggest for beginners to start with moon animator (there is free one somewhere) and after that learn blender cuz eventually y'all will need it it's best for animating roblox and modeling 3D stuff.

[@Pandastroyer]

Thank you for the feedback and the advice! If you do find the free version somewhere, it would be great if you could send it here :)

[@WhatTheHellJohn]

Thank you for the tutorial! But one question, what’s the song name from the background? It got stuck in my head lol

Thanks! Place the time stamp and I’d be happy to tell you :)

[@Heizo_roblox]

Great tutorial! But I can't understand one thing… i need to put that script in "starter pack" ?

[@NotKKKori]

For beginners I recommend R6 slice some people get confused with R15 because of its rigs

That’s very true it’s a great way to start out

ive used the animation editor to animate a train door, but when it fully opens i need it to stay at the position the animation ends at instead of teleporting back to the start position, how do I do this? (note the animation isn't looping)

[@wackynine]

you can make an idle animation that is just 1 frame of the door being fully open, then have that on loop and play it whenever the opening animation ends

[@user-yj2nc1gf6r]

can you do a tutorial for a walking animation for yourself? like, that your avatar does the animation?

whats the song in the background which is also in the intro?

Sure! I can make a video showing you how to do that! Thanks for the idea! :D

i have mmoon animator for free due to me getting it before the update all i had to do is just to update it

what if you want to add an animation for when you (for example) interact with something? like a repairing animation

[@AnimeLegends-lp1px]

did you learn how to do this? i also want to know.

[@bloxthebloxxer8234]

you would have to play the animation when you are doing the thing and stop it if it gets interrupted and also stop it if its looping and you finished the animation

[@Rich_YTS]

@@bloxthebloxxer8234 yeah but how do i make an animation with particles for example

[@MrNewbieYT]

well how do i put this animation onto a character?

[@BB_Bulletss]

Thing is I wanna make fighting animations for KZbin. Am I able to do that?

[@aalstom]

This is coming from a 2D animator: Note when making an animation remember to consider the basic principles of animation. When your making walking or runner consider that you slightly bounce when walking/running.

[@jamesonharrington4272]

This is a very cool tutorial but whenever I play the game the animation won’t work it shows in the animation editor but not in game or when I leave animation editor I put the script and animation ID it just doesn’t work but still very Nice tutorial :)

when animating, click R on the keyboard, it should switch from rotating to moving (oof 4 months late xd)

@@xX-Strawberry-Xx thanks :D and no problema with the time :)

[@RedspinezOfficial]

Which animator plugin do you use? Please give us a link.

[@Pandastroyer]

It's the default animator in Roblox Studio, which you can find in the "Avatar" tab on the top of your screen. However, I regularly use Moon Animator since I got it before it costed 10 dollars.

[@Thebutterflydancer]

Great tutorial! But when i try to publish it to roblox the window does not pop up. It did only once when i did my first animation from them it will not. :(

[@user-oy5mq5fj7k]

How do you animate the camera too?

[@Pandastroyer]

You can't necessarily animate the camera with Moon Animator, but you can change the camera angle with your mouse and the camera FOV with the settings in the Explorer tab. :)

I have a really huge issue to where roblox keeps deleting my animations. Even if its a simple wave animation it still gets deleted. I honestly dont know why this is happening and literally nothing on the internet is helping. Does anybody know why this is happening?

[@Pandastroyer]

I'm not sure. Make sure you are saving them to your Roblox game and then saving or more better publishing the Roblox game. If that doesn't work, you can just download the animation to your computer :)

[@epicgamerpolihedral]

Can you please help even if this was 6 months ago For some reason it only lets me add keyframes every second instead of everytime i want

[@lookitsadrian]

whats the background music? i love it

[@ardentt]

I think keyframe animation is kinda big step for a beginner like me, could you possibly make one for stop motion animation?

[@testmandd]

Its really not that hard. I just started a few days ago and i was able to put out 5 smooth fighting game animations.

[@testmandd]

Or set the easing style to constant

[@ardentt]

so i set it to easing style for constant for stop motion?

[@Pandastroyer]

Yeah. I stumbled upon your comment a few days ago and I wasn’t exactly sure what stop motion was, so I didn’t reply instantly (I honestly didn’t know what stop motion in Roblox was until you mentioned it lol). It was only today where I actually found out that stop motion was made using the constant easing style :D

I hopefully will include a part about stop motion in the second tutorial I’m making :)

what about adding visual effects to the animation?

You’ll have to use particle emitters and such to do that :)

[@MakRep21]

is there any way how you can animate 2 rigs at the same time like when you start the animation both of the rigs start playing

[@whyanimations4437]

how do you like add special effects to your animations?

[@Pandastroyer]

In that case, you’d need to use a particle emitter or maybe even code if you’re using VFX. I’ll most likely be making a part three video for that :)
