Animation not playing from script. Help!

[Craftaren]

Hi, I have an issue running an animation in my script.
I did all the steps, I published the animation and using the code I’m trying to make a new animation instance and play it.
The issue is extremely strange, the first time i left click (which is when the animation is supposed to play) my character explodes.
After i respawn and try left clicking again i get the error: Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service I have no idea what black magic i conjured with my code but it would be great if someone could help me out.

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
    if not gameProcessedEvent then
        ...
        elseif input.UserInputType == basicAttack then
            print("m1")
            cmbtModule.attackFunc(Player, character, humanoid, hrp)

COMBATMODULE: 

combatModule.attackFunc = 
    function(player, character, humanoid, hrp)
        humanoid.RigType = "R6"

        local animator = character.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
        local swingAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
        swingAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://13801385573"
         local swingAnimTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(swingAnim)
        swingAnimTrack:Play()
        print(humanoid.RigType)
        
    end

it does print R6 at the last print statement so my humanoid argument is correct.
Thanks in advance

If you want the entire code I can post it.

Its not “Animator” its “Animate”, I don’t know where animator came from.

[Craftaren]

I looked it up in the documentation, and its definently animator that that i need to use here… also if i change it to animate it gives Infinite yield possible on ‘Ginney103.Humanoid:WaitForChild(“Animate”)’. Am i misinterpreting?

Animator | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

also the issue persists even when i change animation and don’t use the animator

combatModule.attackFunc = 
    function(player, character, humanoid, hrp)
        humanoid.RigType = "R6"
        
        local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
        animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=507771019" -- Roblox dance emote

        local animationTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
        animationTrack:Play()
        --local animator = character.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animate")
        --local swingAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
        --swingAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://13801385573"
     --    local swingAnimTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(swingAnim)
        --swingAnimTrack:Play()
        --print(humanoid.RigType)
        
    end

Is this a localscript or serverscript

[Craftaren]

It’s a modulescript being run from a localscript.

Does your character explode literally or joints of your character just break? Just asking because i can’t seem to get the punchline of this ‘joke’.

[Craftaren]

HP goes to zero, should maybe not have phrased it as “explode”.

[Jenny1223im (Jane)]

thats because you set character rigtype to r6 through script manually that happens when you do that through a script

[Jenny1223im (Jane)]

Delete a line

 humanoid.RigType = "R6"

that’s why your character is dying, because if for example you have r15 rig then there wouldn’t be joints to sustain the r6 rig, same goes for r6. Also if you wish to set a r6 avatar for all new players, you’ll have to do it in game settings manually. But allas if you even read this post, heres a script:

local newjoint=Instance.new('Motor6D')

function ConvertToR6(Character:Model)
