Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service

[Cbrrah (Cbrah)]

In my code, I load all the animations at the start of the script.

local Animations = Tool:WaitForChild("Animations")

local Swing1 : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Swings"]:WaitForChild("1"))
local Swing2 : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Swings"]:WaitForChild("2"))
local Swing3 : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Swings"]:WaitForChild("3"))
local Swing4 : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Swings"]:WaitForChild("4"))
local BlockHitBlocker : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Impacts"]:WaitForChild("BlockHitBlocker"))
local BlockHitSwinger : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Impacts"]:WaitForChild("BlockHitSwinger"))
local PBHitBlocker : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Impacts"]:WaitForChild("PBHitBlocker"))
local PBHitSwinger : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Impacts"]:WaitForChild("PBHitSwinger"))
local BlockAnimation : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations:WaitForChild("Specials"):WaitForChild("Block"))
local Equip : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Equips"]:WaitForChild("Equip"))
local Unequip : AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animations["Equips"]:WaitForChild("Unequip"))
Swing1:Play() Swing2:Play() Swing3:Play() Swing4:Play() BlockHitBlocker:Play() BlockHitSwinger:Play() PBHitBlocker:Play() PBHitSwinger:Play() BlockAnimation:Play() Equip:Play() Unequip:Play()
Swing1:Stop() Swing2:Stop() Swing3:Stop() Swing4:Stop() BlockHitBlocker:Stop() BlockHitSwinger:Stop() PBHitBlocker:Stop() PBHitSwinger:Stop() BlockAnimation:Stop() Equip:Stop() Unequip:Stop()

This is a local script that is parented to a Tool.
When you first load into the game, everything works great. However, after you reset character, the game produces the error on the first line (local Swing1 : Animation track – that line).

The error says:
Cannot load AnimationClipProvider Service.

Other solutions say to add a wait, or make sure the humanoid is loaded. I can literally add a 3 second wait, and it STILL throws the error. This is a huge issue for my game and I can’t find a single other person having this problem.

Any fixes or ideas on how to tackle this? Any help is appreciated, this issue is super frusterating.

[SomeFedoraGuy (rusuRares)]

This error simply means that the Humanoid or Animator (please load your animations on the Animator instance) are not a direct part of WorldRoot (Workspace or WorldModel). That’s all the info you’d need

[Cbrrah (Cbrah)]

I loaded it onto the Animator just now. Still throwing the same error. Why would the humanoid or animator not be a direct part of the workspace?

[SomeFedoraGuy (rusuRares)]

Well I’m unsure of how your character loads based on the tiny snippet of code you gave.

[Cbrrah (Cbrah)]

Could we connect over discord or something and I could add you to the team create? You can take a look around and see if you can fix it. I have a group of testers currently ingame trying to help.

[SomeFedoraGuy (rusuRares)]

We could, but it’s midnight and I am about to go to sleep (it’s Christmas Eve too, I recommend chilling for some time) but in about 12 hours I can help, if you still haven’t fixed the issue.

"Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service" error after respawning

Okay normally I almost never have issues debugging and solving my own scripting problems, but this one I physically cannot figure out why it’s happening. I’m making a simple tool with animiations using the Humanoid.Animator, and it seems to 100% work when i play test the game initially, but after resetting my character and then equipping the tool and loading the animation tracks a second time, I get this error: [image] This is really odd and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Some o…

Found this and it works.
