Animation fails to load on my friend

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so i have just started to do animations and i do not fully understand them yet. im trying to make a pickaxe that swings when i click and plays this new animation

the animation plays for me but when my friend clicks it fails to load, it also doesnt work in normal servers only playtest

i have looked at a lot of solutions and none of them have worked/applied to me.

im quite new so it might be might my doing and it most likely is. the animation is in the script if that helps

local Tool = script.Parent
local Animation = script:FindFirstChild("pickanim")
local debouce = false
 
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debouce then return end
		debouce = true
	

    local Character = Tool.Parent
    local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
   
    local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
	    AnimationTrack:Play()
	wait(3)
	debouce = false 
	
end)

error

Are you by any chance using a custom character? Animations not replicating is a common issue with custom characters.

#3

im not using custom characters, but i am using r6 if that helps

#4

Is this on your friends game or your game? I believe an animation doesn’t play if the game the animation is playing in isn’t the creator of the animation’s game.

#5

its my game, and is there a way to change this

#6

No unfortunately you can’t change this. But if it’s in your game everybody should be able to see it, is it in a LocalScript or a Script?

#7

i have it in both rn but i tried it both ways and same result

#8

How many animations are in your game? There is a bug that was reported on October 19 2019 that still isn’t fixed that limits the amount of animations allowed on a humanoid to 10.

#10

Actually, the bug was that it can only play 10 animations every 10 seconds. Is the animation being played 10 times in 10 seconds?

#11

it should be 4 max because of the debouce

#12

I’m not to sure but the animations may also count Roblox’s default animations such as walking and jumping. Maybe this isn’t the issue, I’ll try and find something else.

#13

yeah that could be a possiblity, but it might not be most likely

#14

have you found anything? just wondering

#15

Still haven’t found anything on why that it is happening. I’m really not sure.

#16

yeah its quite strange, really.

#17

is it because i own the animation?

#18

Well if you are doing it in a local script that might explain it, as well as maybe the local variables but im pretty sure if it is in a local script then that would be the reason.

#19

its not in a local script, i will go try it again.

#20

Well no the idea is that if it is in a local script that is the only way I would understand it to cause the problem you are having.

#21

ok thanks i will update you after i try it
