Animations not replicating to all clients until getting close to them

[cyberplanet1870]

I have a regular R6 rig with a ball attatched to the player’s arm using a Motor6D. The animations play perfectly on the animating player’s client, but on all other clients, they don’t play unless you get very close to the animating player.

Example:
https://i.gyazo.com/13f0ad010c7bbe7c646cd6a441e46eea.mp4
As you can see, the ball is in its unanimated position until I walk up to the player.

I saw a couple other threads with people having the same issue, but found no solutions. One suggestion was to set the NetworkOwnership of the ball to animating player’s character, but this didn’t work when I tried.

Few notes:

• The animations are created and played on the server
• Issue doesn’t occur in studio test servers with multiple players
• The animation in question is set to Idle priority

Any help is appreciated.

I don’t have a valid solution to your problem, but from what I’m seeing here, you are trying to get the football’s grip correct?

If you are just trying to do that, there’s a nice plugin for that:
Tool grip editor - Roblox

Have the animations created and played on the client (Since the client replicates all animations to other clients automatically).

@RipPBB_TUD the football isn’t a tool, it’s a part connected to the player’s arm using a Motor6D. I don’t want to use a regular tool in this instance

@StraightScared I also tried that and it didn’t seem to change anything

Sorta wondering if this is a roblox bug

This issue has been going on for like a month now.

Animations not loading in correctly

This is probably the fourth time Roblox has performed a bug similar to this (check my posts). The animation does play, but the motor6d does not replicate correctly. It seems to have to do with client replication, as when I touch the other character it clicks back to normal. general - Discord (gyazo.com) I use an Animator, and call :LoadAnimation on the Animator. I desperately need a fix to this because it has gone on for about two weeks with no visible repair. Please help! -cooldeath49

Animation Replication issue (when a tool is connected to a character with motor6d)

Yep, it’s still happening to me. Probably the longest Roblox has gone with this bug.

It seems to have something to do when they changed something about the Animators and so far, I don’t think any staff have tried to fix or noticed this issue yet since most of us cannot even post a bug report since its only for regulars.

Doesn’t really have a good fix but I linked some alternatives in my solution that players did to their tools so feel free to check their alternatives and see if one of them is fit for the way your tools are made.

Animation Replication issue (when a tool is connected to a character with motor6d)

Agree, since he discussed about how the joint search stops at first model descendant, while my motor6d in my tool is pretty much 3rd model descendant so if it stops at first then that means it did not register the joint of my tool which is located at 3rd descendant. Idk when did the latest happen but I remember having this issue for like couple days now.

Great… well, hopefully they fix it soon. Thanks for those resources tho I’ll give them a try

yeah even I am having a hard time with this issue too it’s been a while now and it was never fixed.
