the error btw

give m1animationcycle:getchildren() a different variable name from Animation, maybe something like Animations or AnimationList, make sure M1Combo.Value is a number from 1 to 4, and you could probably write the animation variable as

Animation = AnimationListVariable:FindFirstChild(tostring(M1Combo.Value))```

what is M1Combo.Value?

try printing it's value

naming collision?

;compile lua lua local t={x=1} local t=t.x print(t)

anyway maybe the value is 0 or something, either way the error is saying animation is probably nil
