Animation only playing on server side

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I wanted to make an NPC with animations

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

the walking animation is only playing on the server side

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I have searched around in the devforum for a while and looked for answers, but I couldn’t solve the problem, everything is fine except the walking animation, I have also tried making a script to play the animation when the NPC started walking

all of the animations are fine on the server side
I am using the Animate script for the animations

Can you explain more? Can you show me some code, or the children of the NPC?

I can’t really help because you haven’t provided anything to work off of. You’ve provided very little.

Sorry if that sounded rude btw. If it did, I didn’t mean for it to.

It is probably not replicating because the Animation is being played on the server

I think you should use remotes and play the animation on all clients

I’m thinking they might’ve left the animate script inside of a local script (if they used an animate script for the NPC)

It’s an easy mistake to make, and also one of the more common ones.

They might’ve also left the animation priority below “action”. That’s an easy mistake to make as well.

Typically animations played on the server will always replicate to the client. Anything that happens on the server tends to (unless it’s something the client cannot access of course).

But any animations played on the server from a tool, for an AI NPC, a normal NPC, etc. will replicate. I honestly can’t think of any situation where an animation wouldn’t replicate to the client. There might be something, but I’m not sure. I’m running off 20 minutes to sleep and a singular piece of toast. Brain is absolutely not working at full efficiency XD

I was thinking of doing that but I couldn’t figure out when to fire the remotes and I didn’t know if it would work, ill try it

edit: just realized I was trying to run the instance by itself
