Player Animator is a plugin that allows you to animate the player model using smooth keyframe (json) animations created with blockbench, blender or even by hand. This is done though the help of the playerAnimator library.
Example of a player animation:
How to use:
First, you will need to use blockbench, animate a template player model and extract the .json animation. The animation in the first example is made with blender, but you can use the geckolib plugin in blockbench like I did to make the second example.
Now that you have the animation file, it will need to be placed here:
Once you have placed your animation in the correct folder, you need to make an empty procedure and select the event shown below. The procedure does not need any further inspection.
Now, you are ready to use your animations! All you will need to do is include the procedure block provided by the plugin (and have the playerAnimator library enabled in workspace settings).
Potential issues when using the plugin:
"I can't get the animation parts to work correctly!" -You can find the official bbmodel here
"The game keeps crashing when I try use the animation!" -You either didn't place the file in the right place, or you renamed the animation after exporting it. Don't do that.
"I'm getting a build error!" -You didn't name the SetupAnimations procedure correctly, or your use of the procedure block was simply not accounted for.
"The animation won't play!" -None of the entities in your event are players, therefore it has nothing to play for.

Ok I need help.
I made three animations, one for walk, one for standing still and one for slow walking. All of them in blockbench and all of them set to loop. How can I make them loop in the procedure without ignoring the current animation?
Example:
I build a procedure that checks if the player is walking to activate the walking animation.
and I build another procedure to check if the player is standing still to activate the standing still animation.
If I put the walking animation to ignore the current animation, it counts for the walking animation too. If I put it to false, it wont ignore the stand animation when the player walks and the player will be walking with the stand animation.
Do you have any idea on how to fix this?
When i use the animations normally, it works. But then when i add the blank animation in order to make the animation stop playing continuously, it stop the whole animation entirely,
i am using a when key pressed procedure to run the animation. I tried putting the blank animations on the when key pressed and when key released, but nothing worked. i did set the ignore animations thing to true, but it still didn't work, please help
is the procedure when we create an item "when entities swings the hand"
Otherwise, I created a player tick procedure to execute animations
