Is it smarter to play animation on server or fire it to client with remote event?

Hello, I've been reading on forums that playing animation on server is not the best thing for players, my script makes play animation for all players in certain region at a certain time, since it is working with one server script and some modules i've been thinking that i should play the animation in the server script, so the question is: Should i play the animation in the server script? Or should i make remote event and fire to client to play the animation, what would be BIG smart? Thanks, kirda grrr

It's better to play an animation on the client if it's being played on a player's character. But if it's for playing an animation on an NPC(that doesn't have a client), then you can just fire the animation on the server.

Hope this helped

Animations transfer between client-server boundary, so playing an animation on a local script would still make it show for other players. You can therefore play it where ever you want, remote events not needed
