How to play animations on live players?

Asked 345 views2 answers

So I made a throwing animation for my game. I have the scripts and the animation and on an npc, it works perfectly fine. When I shift it over to a player however, it doesn't work. here is my localscript:

character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation:Clone().Parent = character

local animation = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(character:WaitForChild("Animation"))

 animation:Play()

in the output it says LoadAnimation requires the Humanoid object (Faazo.Humanoid) to be a descendant of the game object What does this mean? The humanoid isn't a descendant of game? It is though. Please help.

This means you are trying to load a animation before the humanoid is part of the game ie in the workepace. You can do a small check for when the player humanoid is in the workspace

Try checking if humanoid is a part of the character before playing the animation, I'll give just you the script:

local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation:Clone().Parent = character

local animation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(character:WaitForChild("Animation"))

animation:Play()

Hope this helped you with your problem! Please accept my answer if it worked for you.

There should be a line that says the id of the animation, you can't pop out your animation with the power of your mind... Here is a code to make it more simple:

local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=AnimationIdhere"

local animTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
animTrack:Play()

It didn't work. The exact same thing happened. The same thing was warned in the output. Thanks for trying though!
