I believe your issue is to do with animation ownership, I’ve ran into this topic a lot and it can be confusing.

Is your game owned by a group?

If so, there’s a chance that when you published the animation to Roblox, that you published it under your account’s ownership. This would look fine in Studio, since your client is allowed to use your own animations. However in the actual game, it wouldn’t play because the server can not access animations owned by you.

Here’s the fix if this is your case:

Find your animation again and click Publish to roblox as usual:

But then before you click submit, change the “Creator” from “Me” to the group that owns the game:

Copy the ID, replace the old animation, publish and test in-game!

I do think Roblox should make it more clear when an Animation will and won’t play, because especially for newer developers (like me when I started using animations) this was a rather confusing roadblock to come across.

Nonetheless, I hope this helps you!
