Such a basic thing that never works for me and I can't figure out why

[mighty marsh]

Animation REFUSE to work no matter what. This is so random and I don't know why.

local anim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local animationTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)

task.wait(3)
animationTrack:Play()

the local script is inside startercharacterscripts and the animation has a working id on it that works on NPCs but not players?? Not sure if this is the right place to ask it but someone help.

humanoid:LoadAnimation is deprecated

Use humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(anim)

[halcyon totem]

Deprecated but still works. Its not the issue

[chilly mist]

Is it an animation you made or one that's been published by another user. Sometimes you're required to give permission to assets you use I think unless I am talking about something else

If it's an animation by another user, use animation spoofer and publish it to roblox yourself and try it from there

[short totem]

no

use

Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator"):LoadAnimation(anim)

[short totem]

maybe it stack with other animationj

try changing animation priority to like action

[tiny aspen]

yeah just telling him not to use deprecated stuff

[tiny aspen]

I forgot that findFirstChildOfClass existed

[halcyon totem]

He said it works on npc so issue is prob its r6 on r15 or r15 on r6 or default is overriding

[short totem]

yes

its really useful

it give you typechecking and its jsut lowkey faster

[tiny aspen]

I'll start using it thanks

[glacial spear]

it should be working

try adding a wait at the beginning

to see if the problem is some variable

[mighty marsh]

Sorry for late reply but not using Animator is not the problem I have tried that

[mighty marsh]

Do you still use animator if your game is r6?

also wdym by that

overriding?

[mighty marsh]

this could be an animation issue, it only works for one animation i made 2 years ago? All other animations do not work WTF is wrong with roblox sstudio i geniunley can't create games like this

Of course I have a problem nobody else has??????????????

This is my code now
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")

Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://79286632545387"
local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)

task.wait(1)
AnimationTrack:Play()

[halcyon totem]

You figure it out or just hire someone

[glacial spear]

are you trying to play a animation that was made for R6 characters into a R15 rig?

or something like this

[mighty marsh]

I fixed it, it just doesn't let me use R6 animations as hard as I try and I had to go back to the legacy roblox studio page format????? Very wierd fix
