Well. I'm not sure it's the problem, but I will try to help. Well, when you instanced something, and didn't delay the next code, the script can not find the instance, what do I mean? Imagine a 2 scripts are running in the same time, the script won't find the instance "Idle" since you instanced it in the same time when it finished the code, instead of saying :

local Idle = script.Parent.Idle

It basically searches for it at the same moment when it instanced, you will wait for child.

local Idle = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Idle")

That's how you fix it. Hope it helped.
