Why is the animation:Play() not working? *specific title*
Hi. I Want to make a zombie climb over a small wall. This is a ServerScript inside a part, behind the wall
local climbing = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if climbing == false then
print("yes")
if hit.Parent.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" or hit.Parent.Name == "LowerTrorso" or hit.Parent.Name == "UpperTorso" then
print("Yes")
local zom = hit.Parent.Zombie
local anim = zom:LoadAnimation(script:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animation"))
anim:Play()
anim.Looped = false
climbing = true
wait(2.2)
climbing = false
print("YES")
end
else
print("no")
end
end)
The script prints yes a lot of times, but nothing else. No error codes

i don't really know what's the issue in here but i assume that the Zombie humanoid won't work unless it's in the zombie model so try doing that and here's my solution and try editing it as you please if something is wrong with it
local climbingAnimation = script.ClimbingAnimation --its better to just give the animation a name
local touched --i'll bind and unbind the function instead of having a debounce
function onTouched(hit)
local ancestor = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") --find the character/zombie model
if ancestor and ancestor:FindFirstChild("Zombie") then --check if the ancestor exist and has a "Zombie" humanoid in it
touched:Disconnect() --unbind the function from the event "clear things a little for optimization i guess?"
local zombie = ancestor.Zombie --get the zombie humanoid
local track = zombie:LoadAnimation(climbingAnimation) --load the animation track
track.Looped = false --you can just toggle looping in the animation editor
track:Play() --play the animation
spawn(function()
wait(2.2) --i don't know what's the purpose of the cooldown but since you had it i don't want to mess with it
touched = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched) --bind the function again
end)
end
end
touched = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched) --binds the function
