Running Animation via Key Press, getting error?
Okay, so I'm trying to make a crouching script that uses a crouching animation instead of the old c-frame method. The animation (CrouchAnim in the script) is a Child of the Script. Whenever I run it, however, it comes up with the below error. Tbh I'm not even understanding how the Humanoid could be considered not a descendant of the game in this way. Anyone know how to fix this?
The intended result is for the animation to be run by pressing a keyboard button (C in this case). The animation should run, making the character crouch.
*The script is in StarterPack btw.
The Error is:
16:00:57.902 - LoadAnimation requires the Humanoid object (Player1.Humanoid) to be a descendant of the game object 16:00:57.903 - Stack Begin 16:00:57.903 - Script 'Players.Player1.Backpack.Crouch', Line 3 16:00:57.904 - Stack End
Script (error is at Line 3):
local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local Animation = script.CrouchAnim
local Current = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
crouching=false
------------------------------------------------------
function onKeyDown(key,mouse)
key=key:lower()
if key=="c" then
if crouching==false then
crouching=true
Current:Play()
elseif crouching~=false then
crouching=false
Current:Stop()
end
end
end
If you could PM me (Voikov), that'd be great. Thanks.

Unfortunately, DaCrazyDev's method is insufficient. The best way to do it is using UserInputService. For example:
wait(2)
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animation = script.CrouchAnim
local Current = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
crouching=false
------------------------------------------------------
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(key, ongui)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C and not ongui then
if crouching==false then
crouching=true
Current:Play()
elseif crouching~=false then
crouching=false
Current:Stop()
end
end
end)

Maybe it's because the character hasn't loaded yet, and isn't a descendant of the game object yet? Try this on a server test. But yeah, if it is that the character hasn't loaded yet, try this:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:connect(function()
local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local Animation = script.CrouchAnim
local Current = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
crouching=false
function onKeyDown(key,mouse)
key=key:lower()
if key=="c" then
if crouching==false then
crouching=true
Current:Play()
elseif crouching~=false then
crouching=false
Current:Stop()
end
end
end
end)
