00:00:00,990 --> 00:00:05,760
Alrighty, in this lecture we're going to be implementing animations for our zombies.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,560
We're going to need an animation for when our zombies are walking around, when they're standing still

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,390
in an idle state when they're running.

4
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:16,650
And we'll also need some animations for when our zombies try to attack a player.

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,700
Now, I'm not the best at creating animations, but I did create animations for my zombies.

6
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:23,800
So let me open up my animation editor.

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,230
And as you can see, I've created several animations.

8
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:28,540
One for when my zombie is walking.

9
00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:31,540
I created an animation for when my zombie is running.

10
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:38,810
I've created an animation for an idle state for my zombie, as well as a second idle state.

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,700
And then I've created some attack animations when the zombie is swinging at a player.

12
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:49,190
I encourage you to create your own animations as well, but if you would like to use my animations or

13
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:53,870
make some adjustments and modifications to my animations, then I will have this rig attached to the

14
00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:57,110
lecture for you to upload the animations to your Roblox account.

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,290
Now, the easiest way for us to implement these animations into our zombie would be to copy the script

16
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:07,560
Roblox already uses for animating character models.

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,360
We can grab this script by generating a new AR 15 rig, so we'll go to Rig Builder.

18
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,210
We'll make a new block rig avatar, and inside of this rig we're going to find an animate script.

19
00:01:18,210 --> 00:01:22,920
So what we can go ahead and do is open up this local script and copy all of the code inside of it,

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,350
and place it inside of a server script.

21
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:30,600
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab one of my zombies from server storage.

22
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:36,180
I'll grab my regular zombie and place them inside of the workspace, and then we can go ahead and create

23
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:38,130
a new server script inside of him.

24
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:43,140
I'm going to call it the animate script, and they're just going to paste all of that code inside of

25
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:43,680
there.

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,570
And then we're also going to go ahead and copy all of the descendants of that local script.

27
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:54,660
So we're going to go in here, copy that, and then paste it inside of our animate script as well.

28
00:01:54,750 --> 00:02:01,020
And to make this script work on the server, there's a small section that we're going to need to remove.

29
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:03,330
That's for some client sided stuff.

30
00:02:03,450 --> 00:02:07,290
So yeah, it's right here at line 757.

31
00:02:07,290 --> 00:02:12,420
It's attempting to grab the local player and listen to the chatted event, but since this is inside

32
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:17,760
of a server script, there is no local player, so we can just go ahead and delete that section.

33
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,620
And now this code should work on our zombie, but for the server.

34
00:02:23,770 --> 00:02:28,840
Then what we can go ahead and do is we can grab all of the animation IDs that we've uploaded and paste

35
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,270
them into their respective animation instances.

36
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:36,280
So for example, with our Idalene animations, we can take the first one and paste its id into this

37
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,480
animation id property.

38
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,880
And then we can do the same for the second idalene animation.

39
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,260
And then for the running animation, we can paste it into this animation instance.

40
00:02:44,260 --> 00:02:49,420
And for the walking animation we can paste it inside of this walk animation instance.

41
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:56,210
So I've gone ahead and pasted in my animations for each one of these animation instances, and then

42
00:02:56,210 --> 00:03:02,390
to implement the attack animations, we can go ahead and go back to the zombie AI server script for

43
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:03,140
our zombies.

44
00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:10,310
And inside of here is where we could play an attack animation when the zombie has this attack function

45
00:03:10,310 --> 00:03:11,000
called.

46
00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:16,970
So that means we're going to have to go into the properties module script for our zombies and insert

47
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:22,040
those two attack animations that we've uploaded, and place them inside of our attack animation IDs

48
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,760
table.

49
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:29,770
So I've gone ahead and pasted in my attack animation IDs inside my attack animation IDs table, and

50
00:03:29,770 --> 00:03:35,260
now we can head back to our zombie AI server script, and we're going to go ahead and make a reference

51
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:38,770
to the animator instance that is inside of the humanoid of our zombie.

52
00:03:38,770 --> 00:03:44,110
So we'll create a new variable, we'll call it the animator, and it's going to be equal to my humanoid

53
00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:44,620
dot.

54
00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:46,540
And we're going to get the animator.

55
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,310
Then what we can go ahead and do is inside of our attack function.

56
00:03:51,310 --> 00:03:56,830
When we're attacking a player, we can go ahead and create and play a random attack animation.

57
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:59,890
So I'm going to create a new attack animation instance here.

58
00:03:59,890 --> 00:04:01,540
So I'll just call it attack Anim.

59
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:03,700
And that's equal to instance dot new.

60
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:05,560
Create a new animation.

61
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Now we can go ahead and set the animation ID equal to one of the random IDs inside of our attack animation

62
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,150
IDs table, so that'll be equal to properties dot attack animation IDs.

63
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,790
And then we're going to use RNG to pick a random one.

64
00:04:19,790 --> 00:04:24,740
So next integer one to the number of elements inside of that table.

65
00:04:25,310 --> 00:04:31,370
And then once we get that animation, we can go ahead and get the track by loading it.

66
00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:36,200
So we'll refer to our animator and load the animation and pass our track animation.

67
00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:39,770
And then we can go ahead and play that track.

68
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:45,980
And then when that track has ended, we'll connect a function to that event and we'll go ahead and clean

69
00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:47,660
up our attack animation instance.

70
00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:48,830
So we'll destroy that.

71
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:52,610
And then we'll also destroy the attack animation track.

72
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:58,520
So now we should have all the animations implemented for our zombies.

73
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,910
What we can go ahead and do is copy this new service script that we've just updated, and paste that

74
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:11,090
inside of each one of the zombies in our game, and delete the old zombie AI script.

75
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:18,800
And then we can also go ahead and grab our animate script and copy that, and then also put it inside

76
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,950
of each one of our zombie instances.

77
00:05:22,610 --> 00:05:27,860
So we'll just go in through here and we'll paste that script inside of each one of our zombies.

78
00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:32,900
And now every single zombie in our game should be animated, and they should play an attack animation

79
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,940
when they are trying to attack a player.

80
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:42,380
So let's go ahead and let's grab each one of these zombies and place them inside of the workspace in

81
00:05:42,380 --> 00:05:43,490
the zombies folder.

82
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,070
So here's all of the zombies in our game.

83
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,130
I'm going to go ahead and clean up these two guys.

84
00:05:49,130 --> 00:05:52,550
So I'm going to get rid of this guy and set this guy aside.

85
00:05:53,930 --> 00:06:00,080
And now let's go ahead and run our game to see if they have the different animations, um, playing

86
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,610
on the zombies.

87
00:06:01,610 --> 00:06:03,320
So if we run our game.

88
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:09,460
As you can see now, each one of our zombies are animated, so when they walk around they play their

89
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:10,780
walking animation.

90
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:15,730
Or if they're running fast enough, like this guy is, then they're playing the running animation.

91
00:06:16,530 --> 00:06:20,700
Uh, and so far everything looks fine with how these guys are animated.

92
00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:25,890
So now what we need to do is spawn a player into the game and see if they play their attack animations

93
00:06:25,890 --> 00:06:27,570
when they try to attack us.

94
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:30,830
So let's go ahead and playtest our game.

95
00:06:33,330 --> 00:06:36,300
Let's have one of these guys run after us.

96
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:40,790
So here comes all the zombies.

97
00:06:41,650 --> 00:06:44,380
And let's go ahead and see if they play the attack animation.

98
00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:45,940
So there you go.

99
00:06:45,940 --> 00:06:50,050
As you can see, they're playing the attack animation and they're dealing damage to me.

100
00:06:52,510 --> 00:06:57,040
So just like that, we've easily added animations to our zombies.

101
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,410
I'll see you in the next lecture.
