I’ve recently made an idle animation and I’m trying to play it on the player’s cloned character

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Stance = RS:WaitForChild("Stance")
local FStance = Stance:WaitForChild("FireStance")

FStance.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, status)
	local character = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name) or player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	character.Archivable = true
	print(player.Name)
	if status == "Equipped" then
		task.wait(0.1)
		local PlayerStance = character:Clone()
		local AnimLoader = Stance.AnimController:Clone()
		PlayerStance.Name = "PlayerStance"
		AnimLoader.Parent = PlayerStance
		local PlayerStanceHumanoid = PlayerStance:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		local PlayIdle = PlayerStanceHumanoid:LoadAnimation(AnimLoader.Idle)
		PlayIdle:Play()
		for _, v in pairs(PlayerStance:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
				if v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
				v.Transparency = 1
				local TweeningInfo = Tween:Create(v, TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {Transparency = 0.66})
				TweeningInfo:Play()
				end
			end
		end
		PlayerStance.Parent = character
		PlayerStance.Animate:Destroy()
		PlayerStanceHumanoid.HumanoidDescription:Destroy()
		PlayerStanceHumanoid.Animator:Destroy()
		PlayerStanceHumanoid.DisplayDistanceType = "None"
		PlayerStance["Head"].face:Destroy()
		PlayerStance["Right Leg"]:Destroy()
		PlayerStance["Left Leg"]:Destroy()
		for _, v in pairs(PlayerStance:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Handle") or v:IsA("Part") then
				v.CanCollide = false
		    end
		end
		
		local welding = Instance.new("Weld", PlayerStance)
		welding.Name = "Welding"
		welding.Part0 = character.HumanoidRootPart
		welding.Part1 = PlayerStance.HumanoidRootPart
		welding.C1 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
		
		local TweeningInfo = Tween:Create(welding, TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {C1 = CFrame.new(2.7, -1.1, -2)})
		TweeningInfo:Play()
		
	elseif status == "Unequipped" then
		local PlayerStance = character:FindFirstChild("PlayerStance")
		local welding = PlayerStance:FindFirstChild("Welding")
		for _, v in pairs(PlayerStance:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part")then
				if v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
				local TweeningInfo = Tween:Create(v, TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {Transparency = 1})
				TweeningInfo:Play()
				local TweeningInfo = Tween:Create(welding, TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.In, 0, false, 0), {C1 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)})
	            TweeningInfo:Play()
	            end
			end
		end
		wait(2)
		PlayerStance:Destroy()
	end
end)

but whenever I test the script, I get this error,

Any feedback on how to fix this issue would be appreciated, I was stuck on this issue for 2 hours and I’ve looked on the dev forum for solutions but I still had the same error…

Not sure if this is much help. But i did some testing and it seems that this error occurs when youre trying to load the animation onto something that has its parent set to nil(Nothing).

So should I use task.wait and check if that fixes it?

You could give it a shot :slightly_smiling_face:

The problem has been FIXED!!! All I needed to do was wait for the humanoid to load and replicate to the server before attempting to load an animation through it.

You should use WaitForChild to wait for the humanoid/animator to load/replicate before attempting to load an animation through it. Avoid using fixes like task.wait where possible.

yeah, i also figured out that you needed to load the animation through the humanoid…
