Animation not playing. (NPC idle animation)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Title says it all, I’m trying to add an idle animation to a stationary NPC, but for some reason nothing works.

ServerScript:

local animationId = "rbxassetid://10777554675"
local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
local A = Instance.new("Animator")
A.Parent = Humanoid
local Animator = Humanoid.Animator
local animation = Instance.new("Animation", Humanoid)
animation.AnimationId = animationId 
local Animation = Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

Animation.Looped = true
while true do
	warn(Animation.Length)
	warn("Starting")
	Animation:Play()
	task.wait(3)
	warn("Played")
end

hello did you use a models free …??

#3

You should try setting the animationTrack’s Looped method first before playing.
Also, the LoadAnimation method of humanoid is deprecated. More information: Deprecating LoadAnimation on Humanoid and AnimationController

#4

instead of adding animation using script add animation itself, then put the animation id in there
and do this in the script.

local animation = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local meh = script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator
task.wait(0.1)
meh:LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
print("Playing")

Ain’t working either. “Playing” prints, but no animation is played.

#6

It is loading on the animator already.

#7

If you’re still having this problem is most likely lies in the animation itself as I copy and pasted that script and it works fine for me, only thing I can think of is not owning the animation or having permission to use it.

#8

How can someone give you permission to use an animation?

#9

There is no way to give/get permission according to this for an animation I typed that in because I wasn’t sure if their was a way (like sounds).
