Animation not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Okay this is getting out of hand.

I was just programming an NPC that simply plays an animation and walks forward. For some reason it doesn’t work.

I have tried everything I can think of. I double checked the animation ID. Triple checked for errors(well more than that really). I quadruple checked the devhub. I used Animator and Animation Controller; neither of them worked. I enabled studio access to API. I even directly loaded and player the animations through the command bar.

Nothing works. I even checked past topics.

Here is the code. I mean it has no errors whatsoever.

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Animation = script:WaitForChild("WalkAnim")

local Animator = Instance.new("Animator",Humanoid)
local AnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
AnimationTrack:Play()

Thank you for reading this.

Any suggestions are welcomed. Any.

Who owns the game, is it a group game? If so try reuploading the animation to the group.

#4

I don’t usually like using deprecated stuff. However, I will attempt it.

#5

Ah, it’s just owned by me. It’s a testing game. There is only one other script. What is weird is that it works with the default Roblox animation but not this one for some reason

#6

I never used your method and it’s not deprecated (may be wrong, not sure), but it always works for me.

#7

and

are both deprecated.

#8

What is your animation ID?

Also, where is this script stored?

#9

Oh, but thet still work fine you can use them. But the question is…did mt method worked?

#10

I am using this animation. I can’t animate so I am using this animation
Robot Walk - Roblox
The script is a server script located in the NPC
The code runs and debugging shows that the animation is playing. I still see no animation.

Well, make sure you have the correct animation ID. Here I found the animation ID.

http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=616095330

or

rbxassetid://616095330

You can’t use the bundle ID directly, use their animation instead.

#12

Unfortunately no, it didn’t. It must be a problem with the animation itself. I wonder what the problem is.

#13

I didn’t use the bundle directly. I linked what I used. Robot Walk - Roblox

#14

I’m not sure if I couldn’t explain it well, but you can try it with the animation I gave.

#15

AHA, found it. Animation controller :Load Animation… For some reason deprecated stuff works.
The animation Load from humanoid does not work neither does animator but animation controller does!
Walk animations only work with animation controllers.
