Animations not playing - no errors whatsoever

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello. I’ve recently come across an issue where my animations aren’t playing when played. There are no errors in the console. They are being played from a modulescript.

My code:
(Module):

local AnimationModule = {}

--//Rig Animations
local PlrRig=script.Parent
local PlrRigAnims=PlrRig.Anims

--Intro Animations
local IntroAnims={
	["Wave1"]=PlrRig:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(PlrRigAnims.InteractWave1),
}


--Idle Animations
local IdleAnims={
	["Idle1"]=PlrRig:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(PlrRigAnims.Idle1),
}

--//Actual functions
function AnimationModule.GetAnim(AnimTable)
	local keys={}
	for k,_ in pairs(AnimTable) do
		table.insert(keys,k)
	end
	local randomKey=keys[math.random(#keys)]
	table.clear(keys)
	
        print(AnimTable[randomKey])
	return AnimTable[randomKey]
end

function AnimationModule.ActionAnim(Action)
	if Action=="Intro" then
		print("intro")
		local Anim=AnimationModule.GetAnim(IntroAnims)
		print(Anim.Name)
		Anim:Play()
 	end
end

return AnimationModule

(LocalScript that calls the module function)

IntEvents.DialogueToggleBindable.Event:Connect(function(NPC)
	DialogueUi.Enabled=true
	CellFrame.Position=UDim2.new(-1,0,0.608,0)
	tween(CellFrame,{Position=UDim2.new(0.261,0,0.608,0)},0.8,Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
	AnimationMod.ActionAnim("Intro")
end)

The rig is inside a WorldModel inside of a Viewport Frame. The animation works if played directly in the LocalScript. I’ve tried to see if it’s an issue with animations and modules but I can’t find any good answers that fit my exact problem. Additionally, it prints the animation correctly. It’s just not playing at all.

If any other information is needed, please let me know and I’ll be happy to answer your questions!

Figured out what was going on. The “PlrRig” is originally a dummy upon the player joining. The dummy is then cloned, deleted, and the clone’s HumanoidDescription is set to the player’s avatar.
The module was loading before this was happening, leading it to reading “PlrRig” as the deleted dummy. :sob::sob:

PLEASE remember to organize your prioritized scripts. Please.
