Animator is not a valid member of Humanoid

Hello, i’ve been lately wanting to make a taser. But when the taser hits a non-player character, it says "Animator is not a valid member of Humanoid “Workspace.Dummy.Humanoid”

Is Humanoid.Animator only local?

#2 
if workspace.Dummy.Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") then
    -- animator exists, do stuff
end

This checks if the animator exists, if it does, then it’ll run the specific code.

This article on the Devhub should help.

now it doesn’t even animate. Im using raycasting to find the hit player, here’s a the part of the script:

StunnedTrack = result.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”).Animator:LoadAnimation(StunnedAnim)
StunnedTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement
StunnedTrack:Play()

AFAIK:

NPC’s do not have animator created unlike actual characters, so you’ll have to create an animator inside the NPC…

Using Animations | Roblox Creator Documentation <= Non-Humanoid Characters

(Not exactly sure though, just assuming…)

EDIT:

Try WaitForChild on Animator, didn’t realise you aren’t doing that!
