I have an animation script inside a dummy and it doesnt work. Why?

local anim = script:WaitForChild("crawling")
local hum = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local actualAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(anim)

actualAnim:Play()

this is a server script parented to a dummy in the workspace also the dummy has some other parts welded to it (but not anchored)

any help is apreciated

Hello! This is how I would fix it:

local anim = script:WaitForChild("crawling")
local hum = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local actualAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(anim)
actualAnim.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action -- This line sets the priority to action, which means it will play over all the other animations

actualAnim:Play()

Hope It Helps =)
