So, I’ve recently started to add “Custom Animations” into the game by editing the AnimationId’s in the default R15 Roblox Animation script. This works with in-studio but in actual servers, this happens:
It looks like the animations are for custom characters, I had the same issue with my custom characters. What I did to solve the issue was make sure the custom characters had the script Sound and local script Animations in them.
You can find these scripts by play-testing your game, then going into your player’s model and copying those scripts and pasting them in your custom models. Then under the local script “Animate”, you can put your group animation ID’s in the according StringValues.
The intention is for regular R15 Characters, I already have the local script animations and sound is not needed. I’ve also already placed my animation id’s in the string values.
It’s already being played on the server my friend.
EDT: I don’t know if this helps but I’ve edited both Run and Walk animation. The custom idle animation actually loads and replicates.
EDIT 2: I’ve just read a TOPIC on animation not loading and I’ve came across this:
Where one of the replies state that the animation made be moderated. I can see my animation in studio but no in real servers on other players. I don’t know what’s going on but maybe this is the issue? How long do you think they moderate the animations for?
EDIT 3: After testing apparently “sometimes” you can see the walk animation.
EDIT 4: After this:
--[[
Purpose of this script is to patch Roblox's stupid animate script for not replicating
the walk / run animation upon other clients. This will load it in the hard way on every
character.

Attempting to update all the animations of every character to see if the client can see other player animations failed. So I have no clue now.
Well, if I’m not wrong, the reason you can’t see the animation of the other players is basically because the animation isn’t replicated well. Either that, or as I’ve found aswell, the animation was moderated. If it appears to be that, I suggest remaking it and reuploading, that’s how it worked for me.
Please note those are not gifs taken from me but was sent to me from the person with the same issue.
local newAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
newAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://numbers"
local loadIt = script.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(newAnim)
loadIt:Play()
newAnim:Destroy()
As seen, it replicates the animation globally.
The solution to this topic is quite simple, you will have to set up your own Running connection and play animations. For some reason replacing any other default animations will work fine.
To set up this system, I’d go in-depth but to put simply, you will need a running animation inside StarterCharacterScripts (or somewhere it will run), using the first argument to determine the speed of the animation and play it from there.
The main reason for this post is for those who’ve come across the same issue.
Good day.
