How do I animate an NPCs arm movements and leg movements? I want to make them appear to be walking when they move. I'm also wondering how I would go about making one arm swing (Like with a sword or something). Please note that I'm not asking for free scripting, I want to learn how to do this.

Make a NPC Don't forgot to put Head part Insert>Object>Humanoid
You have to know the health script or you can copy it from your character and Test Solo copy script cause its long script its call Anime Script or Anime or something.

@Galen

Thats too confusing.

To make it so your character moves, first spawn a new part. Name this part "Head"

Next, select "Head", go to insert and click Object. From there, scroll over to "Humanoid," which has a picture of a Robloxian. From there, make a standard roblox form. I am not sure exactly how you will get it to move, but that is how you get a Robloxian NPC. I dunno how to do animations.

I'm not asking how to make a humanoid or how to make it move, I already know. I want to learn how to animate (arms swing and stuff). Right now my NPCs just glide along the ground.

Okay, make a Person (Clone yourself0 and then look in Humaniod, you'll see it has Walk To Targets and things like that, you could sue those to 'Animate' it.

By animate, I don't mean move the whole NPC. I mean arms and legs swinging. My NPC moves around fine. But the arms and legs are stiff against the side because nothing animates them. What I want to learn is how to move those in relation to the rest of the body so that I can give them the walk effect and maybe some sword swinging action. Get what I mean?

You use motors. I haven't learned Motor6D yet, but it is possible with normal motors.

I only used coroutines so I could run the entire animation from one script.

The MaxVelocity determines how fast the motor moves. The motor moves based on the CurrentAngle and the DesiredAngle. The DesiredAngle is just that: the desired angle. When you change the DesiredAngle, the motor moves the Part1 to match the DesiredAngle, but not all at once. It utilizes the MaxVelocity to "loop" motor positioning.

Motors allow us to create NPCs with realistic animations.

So DesiredAngle sets the destination, the CurrentAngle shows where it is, and the MaxVelocity is how it gets there. What kind of measurements are they? All I see is like 0.7 and stuff.

Desired and CurrentAngle are in radians. The MaxVelocity is just a number. I recommend somewhere between 0.1 and 0.2.

1. Enter roblox studio.
2. Enter your game in build mode.
3. Find your character in workspace.
4. Find the animate script in your character.
5. Copy and paste the script into whatever you like.
Hope this helped! :-D

Just curious, what's the difference between between a motor and motor6D?
