"Animation failed to load" appearing only for other players

Yes, I know that this is a very asked question and that there are several of them on DevForum, but none of them helped me and that’s why I’m here.
So, I have a tool that has some animations, but they only work for me, another player that tested (in RobloxStudio) was unable to load the animations:


This is the error that appears to him
I’ve tried to search DevForum and even use MoonAnimator but nothing worked, does anyone know how to solve this?
Note: the code that performs the animation is in a LocalScript.

Is it actually a other player or a test player?

The animations only show to the owner.

Another player, a real player.

Maybe they can’t because they dont own the animation?

But if the animations are shown only to the creator, how would I go about making the animations play for players who visited my game?

Yes, really, but how would I get them to own it?

I had errors with animations before. The reason it was erroring when I actually played ingame is because I had uploaded the animation to my profile, and I was using it in a group game. I fixed it by reuploading it to my group though. Could that possibly be what you are experiencing?

I Don’t know, this is the first time I have this problem. But does your animation work for everyone outside your group?

When it was under my profile, the animation wouldnt work for anyone outside of studio. I am not completely sure if anyone other than me could use it in studio though. But once I uploaded it to the group, it now works for everyone in the game

Wow! how do I do this? I mean, how do I send her to a group?

What I did was I loaded the animation back on to the rig, and then I just changed the place that it exported to.

Ok, i am trying to do the following

I did it, but I didn’t find anything, did I do something wrong?

Change the Creator from Me to whatever group your game that you are making the animation for is under.

Only the option “me” appears, is there any reason for that?

That is strange. Maybe you don’t have permissions to create assets for the group. This is assuming you aren’t the owner. Actually, are you trying to upload this to be used in a group game?

No, the game in which I’m doing the animation, is in “My games” on roblox, it is not a GroupGame. Could this be a problem?

Ahh, okay. I am assuming this is in team create, and the animation won’t load for the other team create member?

Yes, as I said, the animation generates an error when trying to load to, apparently, another TeamCreate player (Remembering that I didn’t test this out of RobloxStudio)
Do you think it would be better for me to change the location of my game? For example, pass it on to “Group Games”?

Why I talked about group games was because I was unsure if you were developing under a group game, or one owned by you. If you desired you could go into group games, and use the method I was describing to you earlier.

The reason it is erroring, is like I said, because only you own it. Your other team create member would have to get your animation and export it for themselves. To do this, you will need to save your animations in the animation editor, and download the game as an entirety. You can then give your team create member the game file, and it will contain the animation within it. They will then need to export the animation to their own profile.

But, I am pretty sure that your animation should work outside of studio even if your team create member doesnt export it for themselves. So, it’s only an error that they will be getting in studio, but it should work fine outside of it.

Wow, so that would be something that happens only at Roblox Studio? Out of the game it really worked, thank you very much man! I feel stupid lol.
