I can't use LoadAnimation

[worldly pebble]

I tried Humanoid and just found out they changed Humanoid now you need to use Animator but it didn't work either
I did this,

local Animation = script:WaitForChild("WalkAnim1")

local hum = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local AnimTrack = hum:WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation -- Didn't work so I didn't type the rest here 
------------------------------------
local char = script.parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Anim = hum:WaitForChild("Animator")
local AnimTrack = Anim:LoadAnimation
-------------------------------------
local Anim = script.parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")
local AnimTrack = Anim:LoadAnimation
```  None of them worked here

You need to actually give an animation to LoadAnimation, it doesn't magically load the desired animation

The Animator is what manages the animations, so you need to give it something to load.

[worldly pebble]

I know but it doesn't even let me use LoadAnimation from the start so I can give it a animation id

I was just lazy didn't want to type the rest there

[chilly palm]

Doesn't let you use how so? Is it giving you an error?

[worldly pebble]

I just ignored the fact it doesn't even let me see this thing when I type "Load" but I tried typing
LoadAnimation(Animation) and it did nothing no work let me try again maybe I get a specific error

It says " Unable to cast value to Object "

Oh also if I put it somewhere wrong

the explorer looks like this

[chilly palm]

Show me the code that actually tries to load the animation

[fast nest]

Why not separate them to variables and put print function between them. Just for a debug, you know?

[lucid mountain]

** You are now Level 12! **

[worldly pebble]

I mean

the problem is obvious

I don't have problem with others

But yeah

Let me try it

[chilly palm]

You need to pass Animation into LoadAnimation, not "Animation"

[fast nest]

I am bad at english actually, does the words understandable?

[worldly pebble]

Yeah I was just doing what you said

[worldly pebble]

oh?

oh

[chilly palm]

"Animation" is a string, the word 'Animation'.

Animation is a variable that contains the animation object.

It's saying it can't convert a value to an object because it can't make a string an animation object

[fast nest]

btw, do you reads roblox documentation everytime actually?

[worldly pebble]

I never understood that I mean why do I have to use string to find something in explorer

[worldly pebble]

Few time

[worldly pebble]

That makes me mix stuff

with stuff that I don't have to use string but

I did this and still it didn't do anything LoadAnimation didn't work

[chilly palm]

WaitForChild is just a function that waits for the child with the given name, which is why you give it a string

[fast nest]

you may print the var

[worldly pebble]

Oh so it gets the object or script or anything using their names

got it thanks

[worldly pebble]

Let me try

also it plays the animation too I tried adding warn to the last part too

It did said "Animation Played"

[chilly palm]

So if the animation says it played, but it didn't, what priority is your animation set as? Does the animation object have an ID?

[worldly pebble]

Yeah it does
"rbxassetid://88938103222459"

[worldly pebble]

I didn't find any errors there

[copper crag]

try using

repeat
  task.wait()
until AnimPlay.Length ~= 0

[fast nest]

I just meant to check if it exist. But it should exist anyway, sorry.

[worldly pebble]

Yeah it does lol

[worldly pebble]

Alright

[worldly pebble]

It did nothing but what did it meant to do anyways?

If the lenght of the animation is 0 then wait?

[fast nest]

it check for load

[copper crag]

wait until the animation is loaded

[worldly pebble]

Ah

[copper crag]

the length is 0 until it is loaded

is everything in your rig unanchored?

[worldly pebble]

Let me check

Yeah it is

It plays it instantly

So it loads

[robust python]

yes

[copper crag]

is the animation made for the same type your rig is (r6, r15)?

[worldly pebble]

Animation is r6 and the rig is r6 avatar is r6 too

[copper crag]

wait, you're playing it on the player's char?

[worldly pebble]

But I'm saying it again I don't think it's normal to Roblox not try to fill it auto when I type Load

Yeah StarterCharacterScripts

[robust python]

it is normal

[worldly pebble]

mb

[robust python]

findfirstchild doesn't refine type so intellisense doesn't know what type of object it is

so loadanimation won't show

[worldly pebble]

Ah

[robust python]

you can assert type for intellisense if you really want to

[worldly pebble]

Then the problem is not in the script ?

[robust python]

(humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")::Animator):LoadAnimation(...

[copper crag]

make AnimPlay.Looped = true and disable the Animate script inside player's char ingame
should work

[robust python]

could also do something like humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") which will also refine the type

[worldly pebble]

local Animation = script:WaitForChild("WalkAnim1")
print("Animation Found")
local char = script.Parent
print("Character Found")
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
print(hum.Animator," Humanoid Found")
local Anim = hum:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
print("Found Animator")
local AnimPlay = Anim:LoadAnimation(Animation)
print("Animation Loaded")
repeat
    task.wait()
until AnimPlay.Length ~= 0
AnimPlay.Looped = true
AnimPlay:Play()
print("Animation Played")

Yeah it did show up LoadAnimation thanks but it doesn't show the animation on character anyways

[copper crag]

@worldly pebble

[robust python]

findfirstchild has different behavior to waitforchild

it prob error check output window

coz animator not exist yet

[worldly pebble]

Wait I will do it

[robust python]

o you said not work

make sure ur animation id is right

[fast nest]

What about check its Length

[copper crag]

he already is

[worldly pebble]

Let me put the id again

[robust python]

also priority etc

[copper crag]

it's not 0 because it's loading

[worldly pebble]

I just made a new ID for same animation and put it there also I rechecked avatar settings and clicked R6 again so at the end of the day

it does work

Thanks a lot
