Attempt to call a nil value even though value exists?
I am replacing the default Animate script with a new one. I have new animations as well. The problem is that when I try to Load the animations, the LocalScript says attempt to call a nil value. This roughly what it looks like. Here is the script:
-- Loaded Animations
local Idle = LoadAnimation(script.IdleAnim)
local Running = LoadAnimation(script.RunningAnim)
-- Function to load animation
function LoadAnimation(animation)
return Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
end
Just so you know, Animator is defined.
Any Ideas?

end

local Idle = LoadAnimation(script.IdleAnim)
local Running = LoadAnimation(script.RunningAnim)
As you probably know, scripts run from top to bottom, that means line 1, then line 2, then line 3, ...
If you create variable X at line 4, you can't print(X) at line 3 since at that time line 4 has not yet been run, same in your case, lines 2 and 3 where you create the variables were trying to run a function LoadAnimation that is going to be created on line 6.
