How do ROBLOX Animations work? Like, is Lua involved in making animations for ROBLOX characters or is there a special place in Studio where you can edit and make all the animations?

How Do Animations Work?

✓ Accepted answer
An animation needs to be loaded to a Humanoid object for it to work. The correct syntax for it is this:
(Make sure you have an animation object with the correct ID set first)
anim = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
anim:Play()
Make sure all the parts affected are not anchored, or the animation will not play.
If you want to make your own animations, you can find the official ROBLOX plugin for it here: http://www.roblox.com/Animation-Editor-item?id=144373835

There is a ROBLOX official plugin for it, it's really good and there's a Wiki Bit for it too : http://www.roblox.com/Animation-Editor-item?id=144373835
there is not as much scripting for animation than what it used to be. And You can easily create your own, the downside is you cannot share animations , as it will not allow you.... http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Animations
