@@MadladxSC I made an animation in moon animator for a gun's idle animation, i followed the steps shown in the video and the animation plays out properly in the moon animator, but when i attempt to load the animation on an npc or player, the keyframes for the added items like the gun are not there. like for a reload animation the mag wont move unless the animation is played in the moon animator plugin, is there any potential issues which may be causing this?
You know that's useful advice, that would've been useful in your pathetic excuse of a life. That's the first useful thing that came out of your garbage excuse for a brain. It's a shame that someone had to even tell you this. What are you gonna do when you run into any slight issue while animating? Cry for mommy to solve it?
You could also weld the gun to torso and set up IK constraints for hands to gun and animate gun to torso only, this will be an effective method for R15 because R15 has custom scaling properties.
Fun Fact: It’s not resurrections lol I love that game though. The song is called Moonlight Requiem if you don’t know. For some reason resurrections plays a faster version but the song is so good in my opinion.
@@MadladxSCyo this isn't relevant to the comments but every time I hold CTRL it doesn't work its hard to explain but it's like you just right clicked it instead of hold CTRL then lmb but idk pls help
If you guys are struggling animating 2 people ( if you make a rig fire a gun then the other rig just does the slo mo animation) to solve it just copy paste the animation close into the animation on where you want your other character to do next.
i made my first gun animation, didnt really focus on things other than the hands, it used a custom pistol model i made and a custom rig i made, its more than r15, it has fingers, *all 4 of them* , thats really it
tbh for people just starting, they should use blender, cuz blender is simpler and has better results if used well, moon animator can be hard to make good animations with
Blender is like a race car, it's almost required that you know how to drive a car before driving something like formula 1. Apply this analogy to the situation, Blender is much more complex, and you should be familiar with animating tools and techniques to start seeing results in Blender. You also need to set up Blender for Roblox animations, and set it up even more if you want inverse kinetics for R6 rigs. As well as just you need knowledge of how to use Blender and then how to give rigs armatures (bones) since neither the controls or rigging process for Studio are the same as Blender; so no, you shouldn't use Blender if you're starting out. The regular Studio animator is much better for starting out until you've learned enough to take it further with Blender.
for some damn reason, when i was animating, my gun parts (bold handle mag etc) wasnt apearing at moon animator. idk if i just joint something at the wrong position or i did some joint things before u explain what that rig positions did (also i used a desert eagle instead of a colt. so i think that was the problem)
Im not exactly sure with what is causing your problem but when you start the moon animator project you need to select the rig you want to animate and then you can add more through the + button@@PostalMan6
im here cause ive got an issue with animating l96a1, bolt action in short. your supposed to pull the charging bolt with right arm, while the right arm is welded to rifle itself, trying to stick it with left arm manually makes it even worse
What if you want the gun to be animated separately later on in the same animation? Say he chucks a pistol at his enemy, how would you go about doing this? The pistol would move every time the arm its jointed to does.

You first need to choose a specific firearm to animate. Since he is using an AR-15 style rifle, animations may vary depending on the firearm you have in mind.
Is there a method to swapping grips with the handle during animation? Since I can't just keep an item stuck to an arm the whole time (i.e. holstering a sword/gun, moving an item from one hand to the other, operating a bolt action, etc) thanks!
I would make it a model and set the primary part so I can animate it by itself and then if i were to add it to moon animator, make sure transparency is enabled so you can control if it’s visible or not.
@@MadladxSC Bro the only model you'll ever make is the amount of time it'll take you to lose your virginity, which is about 20 years. You're a disappointment to the Roblox community and your friends dont even like you.
sadly, i keep having a problem where the arm where i connect the gun to freezes up after rigging it up, i cannot move said arm but i can move the rest of the character body
You probably forgot to joint or weld the gun to the arm or forgot to do joint or weld other parts to the handle of the gun. This happens all the time. Try deleting all the welds and joints I’m the handle and redo it.
This video is great! Aside from that I am trying to make a musket, so doing that I cannot just rotate it I have to move mid animation and have no idea how to do this, If you know please tell me!
i got a problem i do what you say but it doesnt work , i can animate the caracther but not the gun , most of the parts of the gun are unions , do you think this is the problem?
Hey dude! i dont think u remember me but. why did u close the game? cutscene test. it was sick! I hope it wasnt me who did it. if it was me, im sorry. im just a dumbass
@@MadladxSC Ok good. :D im happy ur doing good on youtube! trust me, you will make it to 10k in no time. oops accidentaly put i hope it was me who did it instead of wasnt me whom did it
Pretty sure most people that use ma2 only animate r6 so that they can put the least effort into their animation, or because they will turn the axis the wrong way
ok so im not sure if im gonna make a lot of sense but i need to know how to get something to where its only attached to my character's hip temporarily. i see these animations of people using weapons and they never do any sort of unsheathing swords or unholstering a gun. but i wanna know how i can animate a weapon to where it stays perfectly still and follows their hip, and then as soon as they grab it, then it begins following their hand. is that even a thing thats possible? I NEED TO KNOW ASAP because i refuse to attach a weapon to a character's hip and then have to animate them grabbing and using it 'manually' someone please understand me and help a brother out here
ok i have a question: How do I make the weapon be in the starter pack and work, that is, do damage and fire? How do I make the weapon functional? Well, because I came to animate a weapon that works, so please make a tutorial on how to make your weapon a weapon. usable
I think I may have been one of the old video viewers who said, "man whatdafuggitnowork" but I relized my flaw was not understanding the difference between joints and welds.

The glitchs are because your disabling the flash before it can emit, instead, check Emit() and set it to emit 1. or increase the rate of the particle

yo do you know how to hide roblox studio uis when you screen record?
the rig building part was a lil confusing but once you replay and really listen to the knowledge being bestowed, it becomes easy.
The only one with good animation instead of having the gun goes upward, good job.
You could also weld the gun to torso and set up IK constraints for hands to gun and animate gun to torso only, this will be an effective method for R15 because R15 has custom scaling properties.
can you really set up IK constraints in moon animator?
one of the best rigging tutorials out there
for some reason this video taught me how to do particles in ma2 better than actual videos about ma2 particles.
I wasn't expecting this to work but now i have a working gun animation for one of my towers for a tower defense game I'm working on
I love it when guns have characters
i remember being a beginner and not watching this cuz i was learning, and now im watching it.

What if you want the gun to be animated separately later on in the same animation? Say he chucks a pistol at his enemy, how would you go about doing this? The pistol would move every time the arm its jointed to does.
since moon now costs $30, can you give a tutorial for normal animator?
It really doesn’t matter if you use moon animator or not, but the best alternative if you want a more advanced animation is using blender.
