Didn’t work like I can play the animation in-game but my friend can’t and he doesn’t see the animation either

So he can see the script…?

I understood this as him being unable to see the script, not the effects of the script.

#7

Oooh sorry mb Like he can’t see the effects in studio or in-game

#8

Okay, I see. Thank you for clearing that up!

After googling I found this answer on another thread:

Perhaps this is the issue?

Based on what I’m hearing I think you have collaborative editing enabled. You might want to check this out: Collaborative Editing has arrived! - Updates / Announcements - DevForum | Roblox
Also is this in a group? If so, make sure to upload the animations to the group not to your account.

This is not in a group this is my account also I do have that enabled

It wont work inside of a server script because you define the player as game.Players.LocalPlayer you can not define a local player inside of a server script, simply just delete your script and make a new local script then transfer the code to see if it works. Also maybe just use a remote event to transfer the animation and the player to the server and handle everything else server sided.

I know about localplayer ( I said that’s a local script in the post ) I tried remote events and it did not work

You need to put them in ReplicatedStorage I think. It’s on the server, and all players also have access to them.

#15

That would explain it, animations are only authorized to be sent to members of a group or the owner, so because your animations are put in your account then it doesnt let him use it.

#16

Were you using :FireServer and not .FireServer, How were you using the remote event. Have you both reloaded roblox studio? Did you make a new script? Are you defining the correct part?

#17

Animations are only visible to the uploader at first, if the animation id’s and scripts are correct then you should be able to see them while you are in-game. If you still can’t see them then the animations may not have been exported to the website…
