I’m pretty sure its just some stupid mistake I’ve made, but can anyone see why my animation might not be playing, the animation priority is action and I uploaded the animations myself

Please provide console logs, This can help pinpoint the issue.

One thing is, you shouldn’t be loading the animation from a new animation instance, there is a 256 animation track limit.
This will stop new animations from playing.

Seems I am unable to load this animation in Moon Animator, with the built in Roblox Import function. Is it possible you are providing a blank animation track? I Tried with both R6 and R15.

You have a lot of things wrong. First, never EVER use : in front of a variable. The code will think that the letter is part of the variable name and not the variable itself. Second, most of the things you do can be shortened to either less code, which will run faster, or just be shortened.

Mhm, he should be using --stringhere instead of : : stringhere
