Unable to make an animation play when triggering a ProximityPrompt?
Whenever I trigger a ProximityPrompt, the following error pops up in the output: "Unable to cast value to Object - Client - LocalScript:5" The LocalScript is located in StarterPlayerScripts and the following script is what is in it:
local Animation = script.AnimationOpen
local Proxy = workspace.MainRoomDoor.MainRoom
Proxy.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
local Anim = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(5915776835)
Anim:Play()
end)

I rarely use animations so this should help you
local Animation = script.AnimationOpen
local Proxy = workspace.MainRoomDoor.MainRoom
Proxy.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
local humanoid = Player.Character.Humanoid
local Animator = humanoid.Animator
local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5915776835"
local animationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
animationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
animationTrack:Play()
end)
-----EXPLANATION-----
--[[
When prompt is triggered the following function will run.
A variable for the humanoid and the Animator.
Creating a new instance which is an Animation.
Changing the AnimationId of the Animation.
Loading the animation to the Animator.
Changing the priority to Action. Action is the highest priority so it will override all other animations.
Then it will play the Animation.

Also, what is the Animation variable in your script?

The Animation variable was from earlier when I was making adjustments, so its nothing functional, just forgot it was there, besides its still not triggering the animation, ill try going off the link you send. Officer_Striker 2 — 3y

@MarkedTomato, I checked it out, went to the answer and modified the script a bit to it, still doesn't seem to be working and no script errors, or output errors popping up? Officer_Striker 2 — 3y
