The new emotes that ROBLOX put out are pretty neat, and my question is "is there a way to force that animation in Lua?" I'm trying to script a player to dance or cheer when certain things happen, so it'd be helpful to know how to run it via Lua.

How do you think roblox does it? With lua of course. game.Players.Player1.Character.Animate should be a good place to look.

I looked at the Animate script, but it has nothing related to the emote animations. I see sit, walk, et cetera et cetera, but there's nothing I can see related to dancing or cheering. --EDIT: Well, I just added a StringValue mechanism to force an animation to play. There aren't any hooks for the emote animations. :P

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Animations ;) Just get the IDs of the animations. Lord of all things, breaded and unbreaded.
