Why animating child bones doesn't work?

[Nexerade]

local leftleg
local rightleg

function Script:Start()
    leftleg=self.entity:FindChild("hip.l") 
    rightleg=self.entity:FindChild("hip.r") 

end

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
    leftleg:PlayAnimation("walk",0.02)
    rightleg:PlayAnimation("walk",0.02)

end

^ doesn't work

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
        self.entity:PlayAnimation("walk",0.02)
end

^ work

 

I also don't get any nil errors.

Try using SetAnimationFrame() instead. It doesn't appear child entities will animate with PlayAnimation(). Also, just a side note: PlayAnimation() only needs to be called once unlike SetAnimationFrame(), so you would not use it as shown above.

Thank you very much.

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
        leftleg:SetAnimationFrame(Time:GetCurrent()*speed,0.5,name)
        rightleg:SetAnimationFrame(Time:GetCurrent()*speed,0.5,name)

Now it works.
