Animations not replicating across the server boundy

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am attempting to get animations to replicate across the server boundy.

The issue: When I load the animations onto a players, character,humanoids ,animator it doesn’t go over the bound.
Important info: I am using a custom character spawning system which clones a dummy, loads on the characters appearance then parents it to workspace. The dummy has a humanoid already in it which I am loading the animations onto.

The reason I’m using this system is because some people don’t deserve to get characters.

#2

Are you playing the animations locally?

I think I’ve heard there can be issues when attempting to play animations server-sided.

#3

The animations get played via a local script

#4

Do you have an AnimationController in the rig that you’re setting the character of the player to?

#5

This is the rig I’m using to create the players

#6

Add an AnimationController and place it into the rig, if one is never made.

#7

Why add an animation controller when we already have a humanoid?
Don’t they serve the exact same use?

#8

If an Animator object is never made, then you need an AnimationController which provides replication across the client-server boundary.

#9

An animator object is made and the localscript loads the animation onto that.
