Animation module not playing animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello scripters,
I’ve created an animation module for easy animation management. Issue is my animation is simply not showing up.

	local Animite = require(ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Utilities.AnimationHandler)
	local viewModelAnimator = Animite.new(viewModelReplica.AnimationController)
	
	local animation = ReplicatedStorage.Animations[toolModel.Name].Hold
	local track = viewModelAnimator:LoadAnimation(animation, Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4)
	
	print(viewModelReplica.AnimationController.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks())

local script ^^^

animation handler

local Handler = {}
Handler.__index = Handler

function Handler.new(animator)
	local self = {}
	self.tracks = {}
	
	if not animator:IsA("Animator") then
		self.animator = animator:WaitForChild("Animator")
	else
		self.animator = animator
	end
	
	setmetatable(self, Handler)
	return self
end

function Handler:LoadAnimation(animation, priority)
	assert(animation ~= nil, "Missing argument #1")
	
	local track: AnimationTrack = self.tracks[animation.Name]
	
	if not track then
		track = self.animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
		print(self.animator)
		self.tracks[animation.Name] = track
		track:Play()
	end
	
	if priority then
		print(priority)
		track.Priority = priority
	end

	return track
end


return Handler

Making a module for an animation in this case would be considered overkill.

Consider just making and playing the animation on the script since you have more options to tinker with.

The issue I’m having is I’m trying to stop another animation on the server which I’m struggling to access.

if you are animating a player’s character then it’ll be replicated to the server and it could be stopped from there
