Animation on custom models not working, please help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

We’d like to have custom animals in our game that are playable and each animal has about 7 animations.
We’re aiming to make a game like Animal simulator.

The issue we are having is when spawning as an animal no animations play… It’s just a stiff static model that glides on the baseplate.

This is the code -

local Context = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

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

-- User doing an animation?
local AlreadyDoing = false

-- Animations
local Jump = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations.Jump)
local Idle = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations.Idle)
local SitIdle = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Sit Idle"])

local function IdleFunc(action, state, keycode)
    if AlreadyDoing then return end
    if state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
        if 0 < Humanoid.Health then
            SitIdle:Stop()
            Jump:Stop()
            Idle:Play()
        end
    end
end

Context:BindAction("Idle", IdleFunc, true, Enum.KeyCode.Z)

We’ve tried adding prints to see where an issue could be with nothing… priorities are also set straight and the animations are indeed uploaded by the group and not by a single player.

Can anyone please assist? We’ve been stuck for a while now.
The rigs are made on blender, (bone rigging) and then exported to Roblox studio where I used the default Roblox animation editor to make the animations which are then published to Roblox with the group as the owner.

Have you tried the animations on a place that you’ve made? I had this weird bug/glitch once where I did upload to a group yet the anims were only working on my account til I reuploaded it.

Issue1: If you’re cloning the animal from serverstorage, you’ll need to wait for the model to fully load in on the client before loading an animation

Issue2: I don’t exactly know what you’ve tried so just incase, have you tried checking to make sure the animation plays without any conditional statements? If so, I would give that a try. If they start playing then your problem is most likely with the conditional statements
