Animation not playing on rig/npc

[jxcqvb (jacob)]

I’m trying to get a rig/npc to play a looped animation. It used to be en emote but its now just an animation. When I test the game, it doesnt play the animation and I get no related errors in output.
Ive tried changing the script to insert the asset into replicated storage, but it shows up as a Keyframe Sequence.
Here is my path and code:

local animation = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
local emote = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
emote:Play()
emote.Looped = true

Try putting the animation in the rig and not in the script and try adding a :WaitForChild for the humanoid

I’m not sure how animations run on humanoids, but have you tried using a LocalScript?

[jxcqvb (jacob)]

didnt work. heres my new code and path:

local animation = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animation")
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local emote = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
emote:Play()
emote.Looped = true

[jxcqvb (jacob)]

im not sure if local scripts work in rigs

[Hari_10yt (Hari10)]

this is my script the only other thing is that I am firing it from ServerScriptService and not the rig

local npc = game.Workspace.NPC
local animation2 = npc:WaitForChild(“Anim2”)
local humanoid = npc:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
local Anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation2)
Anim:Play()

can you try to fire it from ServerScriptService?

In this case, there’s only 2 reasons the animation wouldn’t play. Those are:

The animation is not meant for this rig type
The animation possibly got deleted

As far as I know atleast.

The rig is r15, is the animation for r15 or for r6?

[lamcellari (LamSouls)]

Every local script animation works btw

[jxcqvb (jacob)]

I tried using a local script just now. Same thing happens.

[jxcqvb (jacob)]

The animations is for r15 and the rig is also r15.

[jxcqvb (jacob)]

The animation was an emote but I’m not sure what happened to it. So, I converted the Keyframe Sequence to an animation and saved it to roblox.

[lamcellari (LamSouls)]

have you tried re adding the npc? and checking if the animation is actually there

[lamcellari (LamSouls)]

and does the animation have its animationID?

[jxcqvb (jacob)]

My friend owns it but im not sure what happened to it. Heres the link: Emote

(also to reply to your other message the animation is in the rig but I havent re-added the rig)

hey! I found the fix, I accidentally anchored everything in my workspace so I unanchored the model, anchored HumanoidRootPart and when I tested it the animation played. Thank’s for your help though.
