send ss how you tried to load animation

[dapper fog]

local animId = "rbxassetid://111933425067630" 

local function playAnimation(character)
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
    if not animator then
        animator = Instance.new("Animator")
        animator.Parent = humanoid
    end
    local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
    animation.AnimationId = animId

    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
    track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action 
    track:Play()
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        playAnimation(character)

Is that your animation?

[dapper fog]

[soft flume]

It's server script?

[dapper fog]

[soft flume]

It's better to load animation on local script

[dapper fog]

[soft flume]

Put your local script in starter character scripts

[dapper fog]

also i wanted to ask how do i check if its work ? ```local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ANIMATION_ID = "rbxassetid://111933425067630"
local character = Players.LocalPlayer.Character or Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local function playAnimation(character)
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
if not animator then
animator = Instance.new("Animator")
animator.Parent = humanoid
end
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = ANIMATION_ID

local track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action 
track:Play()

end
task.wait(3)
playAnimation(character)

Make sure you are loading the correct rig type animation depending on what your game uses

[dapper fog]

i made this but it doesnt work

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Anims = rs.Anims
local Garou = Anims.Garou
local Hits = Garou.Hits
local Anim = Hits.Hit1 

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, GameProcessed)
    if GameProcessed then return end
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
        local character = player.Character
        if not character then return end

        local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
        track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
        track:Play()
    end
end)```

humanoid:LoadAnimation is deprecated, use animator instead. Make sure you set id for anim and anim is "Animation" instance

[twilit star]

are u sure the animation works

[dapper fog]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Anims = rs.Anims
local Garou = Anims.Garou
local Hits = Garou.Hits
local Anim = Hits.Hit1 

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, GameProcessed)
    if GameProcessed then return end
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch or input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
        local character = player.Character
        if not character then return end
        
        local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") or Instance.new("Animator", humanoid)
        
        local track = animator:LoadAnimation(Anim)
        track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
        track:Play()
    end
end)
