Changing Animation Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hi there! I am having an issue right now with changing animations for my game.
My script is the one from the Developer Hub.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
 
local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
 
	for _, playingTracks in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		playingTracks:Stop(0)
	end
 	
	local animateScript = character:WaitForChild("Animate")
	animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616010382"        -- Run
	animateScript.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616013216"      -- Walk
	animateScript.jump.JumpAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616008936"      -- Jump
	animateScript.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616006778"    -- Idle (Variation 1)
	animateScript.idle.Animation2.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616008087"    -- Idle (Variation 2)
	animateScript.fall.FallAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616005863"      -- Fall
	animateScript.swim.Swim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616011509"          -- Swim (Active)
	animateScript.swimidle.SwimIdle.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616012453"  -- Swim (Idle)
	animateScript.climb.ClimbAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616003713"    -- Climb
end
 
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
end
 
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

I changed all the Ids to the Levitation animations. When I run it, the first one, (the RunAnim) works fine, but then I get this error

10:09:48.844 - WalkAnim is not a valid member of StringValue "MRKYLO20.Animate.walk"
10:09:48.844 - Stack Begin
10:09:48.845 - Script 'ServerScriptService.ChangeAnimationScript', Line 12 - function onCharacterAdded
10:09:48.845 - Stack End

This does not make sense because the RunAnim is pretty much the same thing as the WalkAnim.
Why am I getting this error?
Any help would be very much appreciated!

You should remove animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616010382" -- Run and it’ll probably work since that probably creates the foot steps, idk

Does adding a wait() right after waiting for animate script fix anything?
I tested the script in studio and it worked fine for me so I’m wondering if it has something to do with how quickly everything loads and it just needs a tiny bit more time to load all the children of the animate script.

Here’s what the script would look like with the wait() I mentioned

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

	for _, playingTracks in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		playingTracks:Stop(0)
	end

	local animateScript = character:WaitForChild("Animate")
	wait()
	animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616010382"        -- Run
	animateScript.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616013216"      -- Walk
	animateScript.jump.JumpAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616008936"      -- Jump
	animateScript.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616006778"    -- Idle (Variation 1)
	animateScript.idle.Animation2.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616008087"    -- Idle (Variation 2)
	animateScript.fall.FallAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616005863"      -- Fall
	animateScript.swim.Swim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616011509"          -- Swim (Active)
	animateScript.swimidle.SwimIdle.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616012453"  -- Swim (Idle)
	animateScript.climb.ClimbAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616003713"    -- Climb
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

hmm… I tried both solutions and neither of them worked, I am just stumped on why it is only the walk one, because I took the walk away to test, and all the others work… :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :thinking: :neutral_face:

Ok, I figured it out, for some reason, maybe this is a new update, it is actually:

animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616010382"        -- Run
animateScript.walk.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616013216"      -- Walk

not:

animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616010382"        -- Run
animateScript.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://616013216"      -- Walk

like I would think…
I wonder if there is a way to ask Roblox to update the Dev Hub for that…
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help me!
