AI animation scripts works in one game but not the other?

[EchoWinds]

Hello,

So I have a game that I use for testing purposes like for scripts and such before placing them into my actual game. I recently made an script that plays an animation for my horror game AI and it worked perfectly fine in the testing game, but once placed in the main game the animations didn’t want to work??

Video of AI working perfectly fine in the game used for testing:

As you see, the character has an animation going on when walking and when you get killed.

How things are set up:

(The model is inside Workspace)

The code inside the “Animate” script:

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local pose = "Standing"

local userNoUpdateOnLoopSuccess, userNoUpdateOnLoopValue = pcall(function() return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserNoUpdateOnLoop") end)
local userNoUpdateOnLoop = userNoUpdateOnLoopSuccess and userNoUpdateOnLoopValue

local userEmoteToRunThresholdChange do
	local success, value = pcall(function()
		return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserEmoteToRunThresholdChange")
	end)
	userEmoteToRunThresholdChange = success and value
end

local userPlayEmoteByIdAnimTrackReturn do
	local success, value = pcall(function()
		return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserPlayEmoteByIdAnimTrackReturn2")
	end)
	userPlayEmoteByIdAnimTrackReturn = success and value

Works perfectly fine.

Video of AI giving issues once in the main game:

How things are set up:
The exact same lol.

Since the main game has more scripts for other things compared to the testing game, could it be that some script is preventing animations from happening? What’s strange is that I’m not really getting any errors in the output either that would mention any of these scripts.

I’d appreciate any help as this is pretty much all that is left to do to finish part 1/3 of my horror game!!

Who owns the places? Like is one game owned by a group and the other owned by you?

[EchoWinds]

@bhristt

Who owns the places? Like is one game a group game and the other owned by you?

Both places are fully owned by me.

[EchoWinds]

@bIorbee

is the main game part of a group and/or the test game

Nope, both are owned under my account.

[bIorbee]

i get that issue sometimes and usually reuploding the animation and changing it in the main game works for me

[bhristt (chris)]

Did you change the run animation url in the script to the same one as the animation parented to the Value parented to the script?

[EchoWinds]

Yes, it’s the exact same but for some reason everything that worked in the testing game doesn’t want to work in the main game??

[Shiroudan (Shirou)]

It is likely animation ownership that is causing this bug!

[bhristt (chris)]

Hmm, does the output give you any errors at all? (errors sourced by the animate script)

[EchoWinds]

It can’t be, I’m owner of everything including the animation.

[EchoWinds]

It says this

It also showed in the testing place but it still worked anyways.
