While LoadAnimation is mentioned several times in the tutorial sections of this page, it is not recognized as a method in the section where the properties, events and methods are listed. No other property, event or method is listed except for those inherited from Instance. Recommend reviewing this API page and others for missing members

AnimationControllers are deprecated (atleast, the methods that make it do anything related to animations, including LoadAnimation). You should look at the Animator docs.

Animator

EDIT 26th Oct 2023: Just stumbled on this bug report because it had been bumped by an employee, but if anyone’s wondering, the screenshot is of the old documentation site developer.roblox.com, before create.roblox.com existed. But it’s great that they are retroactively trying to resolve bug reports instead of them fading into obscurity :hugs:

Hi all, just to follow up, the post above is correct: LoadAnimation() should be called on the Animator class, and this is why it does not appear on the AnimationController page (unless the “Show deprecated” switch is toggled).

Take care,
