Animation wont run

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve tried to search for an solution. It still wont work out. I have a Moon animation saved to roblox which is supposed to run on a NPC when you grab a flashlight.

local ghost = {}

ghost.firstAppearence = function(c)
	local humanoid = c.Humanoid	
	local anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animation"))

	anim:Play()
end

return ghost

This is a module in ServerScriptService which would run it. the c is the Character which is referring to the ghost that would walk through this area:

Are you calling the function?

ghost.firstAppearence()

#3

Yes,

The character is defined as the spirit

#4

Potential problems which mite be the issue:

Character variable is nil.
Loading a R15 anim or R6 rig.

Also, LoadAnimation on the humanoid has been deprecated for months now.

Use Animator.

#5

So I would just have to add an Animator and switch that out with Humanoid and load the animation on that one and then play it?

#6

Mayb it will solve the issue. ignore

I switched it out. Still nothing happends.

local humanoid = c.Humanoid	
local anim = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animation"))

anim:Play()
#8 
print(script:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animation")

Then why not do

script:FindFirstChild("Animation")

Also is the character var nil?

#11

The character is not nil. “ignore this”

#12

Also FYI, make sure u own the animations, otherwise it won’t run.

#13
