Animations not replicating to the server even though they're played from client?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I made a footplanting script and it works fine if I’m testing by myself in studio, but once I start a local server in studio it doesn’t replicate to the other clients. And there’s this odd issue that when I tab out and go back in, the animations don’t load anymore and they go back to the default animations. All of the animations are at “Idle” priority, one above the core animations so nothing should be overlapping them.

I tried moving the animation creation to the server and also adding :WaitForChild’s on the animation objects, but no luck.

Server script:

local footplantfold = script.Footplanting

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)		
		local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
		folder.Name = "Footplanting"
		
		for name, anim in pairs(footplantfold:GetChildren()) do
			local new = Instance.new("Animation", folder)
			new.Name = anim.Name
			new.AnimationId = anim.AnimationId
		end
		
		--print("Packaged.")
		
		folder.Parent = char
	end)
end)

Local script in StarterCharacterScripts:

local char = script.Parent
local Humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local forward = false
local backward = false
local left = false
local right = false
local FootplantFold = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Footplanting")
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")


local frontanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("front")
local backanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("back")
local leftanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("left")
local rightanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("right")
local uprightanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("upright")
local upleftanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("upleft")
local downleftanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("downleft")
local downrightanim = FootplantFold:WaitForChild("downright")

local footplantanims = {
	front = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(frontanim),
	back = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(backanim),
	left = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(leftanim),
	right = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(rightanim),
	upright = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(uprightanim),
	upleft = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(upleftanim),
	downleft = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(downleftanim),
	downright = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(downrightanim),
}


for i, v in pairs(footplantanims) do
	v:AdjustWeight(0)
	
	if i == "right" or i == "downleft" or i == "downright" or i == "back" then
		v:Play(nil, nil, -1)
	else
		v:Play()
	end
end

function isolateanim(anim, weight)
	for i, v in pairs(footplantanims) do
		if i == anim then
			v:AdjustWeight(weight, 2)
		else
			v:AdjustWeight(0)

	end
end
