Animation script bug?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This is a local script.

This script works perfectly fine on one client, but when I test multiple, it doesn’t work on only the second client. Any ideas as to why?

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local seatAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
seatAnim.Name = "SittingAnim"
seatAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/id?=10558874416"

local loadSeatAnim = player.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(seatAnim)

player.Character.Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Seated then
		loadSeatAnim:Play()
	elseif new ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Seated then
		loadSeatAnim:Stop()
	end
end)

That’s false, you can load and play animations even on the Client, the possibility of it is maybe something to do with the character, or when they load.

#4

I’d reckon,

If you’re loading an animation on a player then it’s best to do it on the client.

If you’re doing it for a npc then it must be loaded on the server…

#5

problem is, the animation is called via function, specifically when a humanoid state is changed to Seated.

that way, the character has ample time to load properly.

i’m quite stumped lol

#6

Hm that is indeed interesting, I’m unsure, because far as I can tell you’re trying to load an animation into the Humanoid of the Client, and which is perfectly fine, nothing seems wrong far as I see it. Hm, however try loading it from the humanoid instead of the Animator, see if that does anything.

#7

i guess you could try loading it on the server. i mean what harm can it do

#8

i’ll give that a shot. not sure why roblox deprecated that method anyway…

nope, same result.

#10

My initial thought would be to check animation priorities.

Try creating a new animation with the “Action” priority and see if that plays properly for each client?

#11

i made sure they had action priority when making them initially.

Remember, it only works on one client, not the other.

#12

however, it could just be a weird studio issue. i wonder if it works outside of studio…

#13

did u check to is priority set correctly(nothing seems wrong with the code but i might be wrong)

#14

also animations do work on all clients if they are fired onto a client which is how exploiters can have any animation they want and anyone can see

#15 
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local seatAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
seatAnim.Name = "SittingAnim"
seatAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/id?=10558874416"
local loadSeatAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(seatAnim)

humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Seated then
		loadSeatAnim:Play()
	elseif new ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Seated then
		loadSeatAnim:Stop()
	end
end)

‘StarterCharacterScripts’ container.

#16

i’ll give it a try and let the thread know about any issues.

#17

yeah, still doesn’t work.

focused client:

unfocused client:

i wonder if it’s just a studio issue since the client that was focused worked while the unfocused client doesn’t work.
if that’s the case, then i shouldn’t need to worry, since every game client will be focused.

#18

Strange, might be an issue concerning animation ownership and/or animation priority.
