[@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

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 :)

No, there's not a free one. I searched :D

[@Arazek]

it doesn't work since the WaitForChild doesnt have capital letters, and its ("Humanoid") not (humanoid) and its ("Animation")) not ("animation)) it needs capital letters and the animation:play() is not correct, the p has to be capital like this: animation:Play() so guys dont try this script

Glad to hear that!

[@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

[@Pandastroyer]

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

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

1 SINGULAR THING that changed the entire quality of every single animation I made after learning it. Drag.

[@CWLifts]

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
