My animation isn't working (Solved)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Okay so I have an animation but it doesn’t play for some reason. The “print(“Animation Playing”)” works but the animation doesn’t plays. I published the game and tried joining the game and seeing if it was a studio bug but it doesn’t work either.

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BestLawyer

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Key)
	if Key == "Z" then
		print("Animation Playing")
		local Animation = game.ReplicatedStorage.DeskSlam
		local AnimTrack = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(Animation)
		AnimTrack:Play()
	end
end)

Where is this remote being fired from?
Can you show what the script firing it is doing?

Try moving the print statement outside of the if Key == "Z" and see if it prints then.

It prins both

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BestLawyer

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Key)
	print("Pressed key")
	if Key == "Z" then
		print("Animation Playing")
		local Animation = game.ReplicatedStorage.DeskSlam
		local AnimTrack = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(Animation)
		AnimTrack:Play()
	end
end)

Btw this is the local script that is firing the event.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local debounce = false
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BestLawyer

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if debounce == false then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
			debounce = true
			RemoteEvent:FireServer("Z")
		end
	end
end)
#4

maybe try :WaitForChild("DeskSlam")? Idk. I think you should put a print statement after the variables are defined in the serverScript another after the animation is supposed to play. Did you get any errors in the output?

#5

What is the priority of the animation? If it’s set to idle or something lower, then the default animations may be overriding it.

#6

Didn’t work and it printed the last print(). (No errors in output btw)

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BestLawyer

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Key)
	print("Pressed key")
	if Key == "Z" then
		print("Animation Playing")
		local Animation = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DeskSlam")
		local AnimTrack = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(Animation)
		AnimTrack:Play()
		print("I dont know what to put in here")
	end
end)
#7

It’s set to Action. Btw these two are the only scripts in my game right now so I have no idea why this isn’t working.

#8

Maybe you should take the animation out of replicatedstorage and move it into the script?

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BestLawyer

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player then
		local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		
		print("Pressed key")
		print("Animation Playing")
		local AnimTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("animation"))
		AnimTrack:Play()
		
	end
end)

I dont see any need for adding a “key” variable.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local debounce = false
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.BestLawyer

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if debounce == false then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
			debounce = true
			RemoteEvent:FireServer()
		end
	end
end)

Omg I’m so stupid. I forgot my animations are R6 and my character is R15. Sorry for wasting your time.
