I've seen several different people using animations in local scripts, and some in server scripts. What is the difference between using :LoadAnimation and then playing it in a server script vs a local script (in filtering enabled of course) and which one should you use?
COMMUNITY QUESTION
Do animations have to be played in local scripts or server scripts?
1 answer
They work on localscripts. Yes, they do replicate since animations replicate, so it'll work whether it's filteringenabled or not on the client side.

But then what is the purpose of using animations in a server script?
Server script animations do the animations on the server.
They both will replicate to other clients. You can figure out animations already work on the client side since the Animate script is a localscript.
