So I'm using a sword from the roblox catalog, a regular katana. The katana only contains the handle part with a mesh inside of it, there's no other "sword" part like in this video. What would I do in this case to weld it?
@@o45032 rename that original handle to Katana or anything then add another part that acts as an actual Handle and put it on the grip of the sword then you can probably apply the same principles from the vid to it
i wish i could be of any help with that matter of stuff directly but idk how to script, you can however look up things like "how to script combat", "how to make m1s roblox studio" etc
Ok so what you want to do is firstly publish the animation copy the code, then search up a tutorial on how to do sword slashes look at the code and if you see an id for an animation replace with your id and then click but you need to finish the sword first

I dont remember if this correct but if you want to animate the prop while also having it welded to someone's arm here's how you do it. First, give it a handle blah blah blah like shown in the video Then Just click RIGHT/LEFT ARM in the rig, hold ctrl, and click the handle, then Press Join And put the sword model into the rig Now you can move the sword I found this out when trying to animate a hornet fight scene
Great tutorial, I was about to go absolutely insane because I couldn’t move the character but then I realized that the sword was anchored, leaving this comment for all the other idiots out there that had anchoring ruin their lives.
First you need to make the sword a tool and the add a script to the tool then you need to make a function to the tool to when the tool is activated then load the animation and play the animation
you dont need to rig, all you need to do drag the part into the hand of the dummy, animatable weld it to the hand then just use rigedit to change the point.
You should work as an animator for some games people are struggling with their animations there is a game called black magic 2 it's a fighting game I wish to see you there animating
I want to make it the slash animation for a tool, but the sword doesn't move, only the limbs, how do I fix this?(the sword is connect to the right arm but it doesn't do the right movements)
hello, here's two quick questions i'm probably too dumb to figure this out but my moon animator says that its out of date how do i like update it, there seems to be no updating option or smth on top of that, when i animate with moon animator it doesn't show the frames before the change, such as 5:24 there is that red shadow thing
1) in studio theres plugins tab, on the very left side theres something called manage plugins. click it and you should be able to update moon and once you do you should restart studio to finalize it 2) the red shadow is called a "ghost rig" toggleable with the B key on your keyboard
one ency tenancy problem that only affects me and probly not many other people, the sword m1s have to much leadup and a crap load of overswing, honestly its not that big of an issue but as a hema nerd I notice those kind of things. i might sound pretentious but hey man i know what ime talking about. an explication of why thoes 2 things are a bad thing, if you were to telegraph your cut as much as the character did someone fighting you would be able to read what your going to do and your going to get puneshed. also the overswing leaves you wide open to atack so someone could atack you in those moments.
Hey,can you do a vid for animations for tools you haven't got equipped.Im trying to have my G36 near the characters waist and when I walk it starts to move around and an animation when I equip it
Hey I’m running into an issue. For some reason moon animator says “Moon animator [restart required]” I have reset studio a good many times and it still continues to say that
i have a model it’s like the pink green blue cube symbol and when I click on it to make it base part it won’t let me and idk how to combine the parts into one
my moon animator doesnt work, i am with the right one but when i put the rig to animate, it just appear no animate the head and non of the other body parts

I never use ghost rig, but after watching this video I should really use it more ! Thanks for the incredible video on How to Animate a Sword Slash!
Ghost rig is important when you want to make an animation like this animation

to make your sword animation look cooler try adding some trails and set the lifetime to 0.1-1

Im acctually subbing bro you have such good guides
I don’t know how I recognized the dokkan music, what a man of culture
Yea your voice sounds way cleaner now.
Just make sure to:
1- Hide your task bar
2- And make the background music a bit lower (5-10%)
Besides that everything is good

thats preference lol bro giving hism tips on preference if YOU like the music to be at a certain level do that for YOUR vids its not sum u have to do its preference same with the task bar shit

THIS IS AWSOME!!!!! TYSM YOUR THE BEST!!! the only bad part about it if its alot of objects it can only be basic objects... ITS FINE THOO TYSM YOU EARNED A SUB!!!
the knowledge from this video CHANGED MY WHOLE ANIMATION STYLE!
YOU MEAN OUR ANIMATION STYLE ?!!!!!11
THE THING THAT HE ANIMATE FIRST THE TORSO WAS THE ONE WHO CHANGED IT
Tysm, this helped a lot :)
This is very good! But I think you can make it better if you make the frames Quad In and Out because it’s good for slashing animations.
highly preference based
linear allows for more control while quad or sine are easy shortcuts
But anyway Thundey this really helped for me to make animations for slashes, so thank you.
Greta job bro keep up the good work
I dont remember if this correct but if you want to animate the prop while also having it welded to someone's arm here's how you do it.
First, give it a handle blah blah blah like shown in the video
Then Just click RIGHT/LEFT ARM in the rig, hold ctrl, and click the handle, then Press Join
And put the sword model into the rig
Now you can move the sword
I found this out when trying to animate a hornet fight scene
Very cool animation and very helpful tutorial
ty this is a very good tutorial :D
this video makes me feel kind of dumb since i did not know these tricks earlier. but now i do so thanks thundey
wow fire animation!
this helped a lot thank you!
this is the greatest sword slash animation of all time
Even 2 years after bro is a live saver
This is super cool, you dont even have to make the exzct thing either, i just created a cool berserk guts combo with his huge sword!
Fire animation
Thanks to you. My old minecraft looking sword hit now looks like an actual sword slash
tysm! this helped a lot!
i have a model of a sword so i cannot weld it to the handle, how do i fix this?
took me a hour to make it with this tutorial ilysm
Great tutorial, I was about to go absolutely insane because I couldn’t move the character but then I realized that the sword was anchored, leaving this comment for all the other idiots out there that had anchoring ruin their lives.
Bros a chad for this video ❤
thank you for the tutorial man, ive been searching for a whole week for something my 2 iq brain could understand, youve earned a sub
Wow ty this was really confusing But it worked :)
tysm for the steps i just have one question how to add the animation to your game like how to use it
Script
First you need to make the sword a tool and the add a script to the tool then you need to make a function to the tool to when the tool is activated then load the animation and play the animation
I cant see the folder where u can edit appearance and transparancy etc
Thank you so much for this
Looks very epic
I set my increasemnts to 00.005
you can set it to 0 or disable the check next to it
dude is actually skilled

inshallah
The sword isnt moving with the character model when I animate it but I welded them together
you dont need to rig, all you need to do drag the part into the hand of the dummy, animatable weld it to the hand then just use rigedit to change the point.
that entire process you just mentioned is what is called rigging
@@Thundey thats the joke
still works thanks for the help
This is very good cool
How does the arm rotate so smoothly, for me it rotates like 20⁰ by 20⁰ it doesn't go as smoothly
7:58 "just trust the process"
thundey my beloved ex- abd animator
how do i do a sword slash with meshes? i wanna make my avatar take a sword off of their person and slash with it
lovely songs !
can u do it whit any sword u found on models?
yes, most of the time
helped a lot thanks
If you animate the sword itself, is it possible to use it ingame?
I’m doing everything and the sword is in the animation, I just can’t move it.
You should work as an animator for some games people are struggling with their animations there is a game called black magic 2 it's a fighting game I wish to see you there animating

Yeah but he's better then them sadly lmao@@luigimemes6946

Im a player of bm2 for 2 years and it have very good animations i dont think they need a animator but devs are lazy to add a new class
@@CrayzChaos oh for fuck sake about to 2 years no class fuck this shit
bro youre learning?? you already look like an expert

I want to make it the slash animation for a tool, but the sword doesn't move, only the limbs, how do I fix this?(the sword is connect to the right arm but it doesn't do the right movements)

You have to unanchor everything from the weapon.
It look good
hello, here's two quick questions
i'm probably too dumb to figure this out but my moon animator says that its out of date how do i like update it, there seems to be no updating option or smth
on top of that, when i animate with moon animator it doesn't show the frames before the change, such as 5:24 there is that red shadow thing
1) in studio theres plugins tab, on the very left side theres something called manage plugins. click it and you should be able to update moon and once you do you should restart studio to finalize it
2) the red shadow is called a "ghost rig" toggleable with the B key on your keyboard
@@Thundey thanks man!
one ency tenancy problem that only affects me and probly not many other people, the sword m1s have to much leadup and a crap load of overswing, honestly its not that big of an issue but as a hema nerd I notice those kind of things.
i might sound pretentious but hey man i know what ime talking about.
an explication of why thoes 2 things are a bad thing, if you were to telegraph your cut as much as the character did someone fighting you would be able to read what your going to do and your going to get puneshed. also the overswing leaves you wide open to atack so someone could atack you in those moments.

This video make me want to try animate with moon animation
my moon animator doesnt work, i am with the right one but when i put the rig to animate, it just appear no animate the head and non of the other body parts

How did you get each part of the dummy to have labeled sides?
In moon animator where you spawn plain r6 or r15 there will be a template version aka the rig in this video
Ok I got it thank you
