Code Samples

Listen For New Animations

The following code sample includes a function that prints the name of an animation whenever an AnimationTrack plays on a humanoid.

A connection is made listening to the Humanoid.AnimationPlayed and the name of the underlying animation is printed.

Please note that AnimationPlayed is a member of both Humanoid and AnimationController which this example would also work on.
