Unable to cast value to Object?

I'm trying to make a script for when I hold the X key, the animation starts, and when I release, it stops. Well, everything was going well, until I tested it. I get the error, "Unable to cast value to Object" This happens on line 5 of my code. The code is below:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local human = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") 
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
local ca = "rbxassetid://2401982156"
local canimation = human:LoadAnimation(ca)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
 if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
    canimation:Play()
 end
end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
 if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X and canimation.IsPlaying then
    canimation:Stop()
 end
end)

Can someone please help me?

One little note: you can create a variable for UserInputService. User#21908 42 — 5y

You didnt paste animation id into Animation what you created, so try this. Just insert LocalScript in StarterGui or StarterPack then copy, paste this code into that localscript.

wait()
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local human = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local AnimVar= Instance.new("Animation")
AnimVar.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2400830112"
local AnimTrack = human:LoadAnimation(AnimVar)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
        AnimTrack:Play()
    end
end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
        AnimTrack:Stop()
    end
end)

i just realised what you were doing wrong, its that you didnt set the parent of the Animation so it wont work, also i think your only suppose to use the ID of the animation if your not using the Instance Animation.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local human = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") 
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
local ca = "2401982156"
local canimation = human:LoadAnimation(ca)

animation.Parent = workspace -- define where you want the animation to be a child of

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
 if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
    canimation:Play()
 end
end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
 if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X and canimation.IsPlaying then
    canimation:Stop()
 end
end)
