my own animation doesn’t work

[river nest]

It’s my first time working, trying an animation in roblox studio and when I tried to make an idle animation (like regretevator npcs) for an npc, it doesnt work. Ive tried looking up tutorials but I cant seem to make it work. What am I doing wrong?

Skill issue, that's it.

Maybe try to talk more about this problem. Provide some code or clips or anything other than "it doesn't work" We can't just guess what is wrong

Wth u mean ur own animation plugin? U literally made a new anim plugin like moon anim 2?

Sorry i wasnt clear on my last message. What I mean was that, whenever I try to animate a rig model inside the roblox studio and play test my world, the animation doesn't play.

Ps: I dont have any animation plug in like the moon animation. I just use whatever is inside the roblox studio.

Hmm what is ur script?

my own animation doesn’t work

I tried other scripts I saw on youtube tutorial but it doesn't really work

local animation = script:WaitForChild('Animation')
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
local dance = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
dance:Play()
dance.Looped = true

its my first time making scripts so I'm struggling how to make one

You need to use the Animator instance to LoadAnimations

It is located inside the Humanoid

local animation = script:WaitForChild(„Animation“)
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild(„Humanoid“)
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild(„Animator“)
local dance = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
dance.Looped = true
dance:Play()

Should I put it in the humanoid folder animation or inside the humanoid itself? I added a script inside the humanoid, but it still doesn't work. Should I also try to put it in the startercharacterscript, as they do in the YouTube tutorial?

dude I told you it's my first time. I'm doing this for a school project. I use Roblox Studio for fun, and I have no intention of learning scripting. I am doing this for educational purposes, which is why I need help with a script.
I am an art student, and we have a project where we will create a virtual tour, and I need to learn how to create animation, which I am not good at. Look, if you don't want to help me, I'll ask somebody else.

They're asking a genuine question. If you don't have the answer to their question, then don't bother replying to them.

No i mean there should be an Animator instance by default inside the humanoid

and the script should be located inside the Rig

But I guess it would be better if you could show me (send an screenshot) of how your rig looks like (in the explorer)

I mean I'm concerned because they couldn't even copy a code right. Like they used ' instead of " and tried to load an anim with the humanoid
