Is it possible to send an animation?

So basically I have animations that are loaded on the server. And I need to play them on the client.

So I have all the animations in a table and then send the needed animation to the client. But it always says that the animation is nil.

So I am wondering. Is it possible to send an animation via remoteEvents?

If so. Ill have to go through my code and make sure things are working!

Cool thanks!

You cannot send them*, Instead you must load the same animation on all clients and use a Remote to start it playing.

*if the animation is for a player character. If the animation player is owned by the server, it is enough to load the animation also on the server and play it from there, according to this:

I was told that playing animations on the server is bad. And causes lag on the server. So thats why I want to do this on the client. You are saying I just have to load the animation on the client? and then play it there?

yes you dont have to send an animation instead you can store it as an asset in replicated storage so you can call it anytime and anywhere
