Hello! I’ve had a problem for a few days now and I’ve been trying to research it as much as possible but it looks like it’s come to this as I’ve found nothing that’s helped. Roblox has an animation bundle that I want to use in my game. It’s the OldSchool animation bundle. I’ve tried using multiple scripts and tutorials to try and implement these animations. Usually what happens (not every test) is my avatar just stays still without movement, including walking, running, staying idle, etc. It just stays still.
All I want is to just implement one of Roblox’s animations into my game and make it the default animation basically. Here’s an example script I’ve tried and also a screenshot of my body just staying still: (First person view game, which shouldn’t be the reason for this error)
There’s sometimes error messages which I cannot seem to debug. Here’s one example:
Please help me if you could! Any help is much appreciated and feel free to ask me any questions!
Server Script inside ServerScriptService
-- LOCALS
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- MAIN FUNCTION THAT ENABLES ANIMATIONS
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(2)
animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5319900634" -- Run

I was going to suggest changing the start of the links to what roblox used in the default animations, but since you said that some animations work like this, I’m not entirely sure what’s happening. Maybe you typed the IDs wrong (unless you copy-pased them).
You don’t need to put this all in a script though, you can just copy the Animate script and all it’s children and put it in StarterCharacterScripts with the modified animations already added.
Thats sign that the IDs could be wrong.
Where did you get the Animation IDs of the Bundle?
Maybe thats the issue, you could get the right IDs by checking the details of the Bundle with AssetService, then you could use those IDs with InsertService so you can get the StringValues that holds the Animations, then you could replace the StringValues inside the Animate script, just make sure you Stop() all anim tracks and disable the Animate script during the process, at the end enable it again.
And you could connect a function when respawning so when players dies they get the Bundle values again, I made a script that does that for this video:
The Oldschool bundle id is 667, just edit the very first line.
local BundleToGet = 75 -- Ninja Animation Bundle
local GameAnimBundle = false
local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")
local AssetService = game:GetService("AssetService")
local function GetBundleAnims()
local AssetDone, BundleDetails = pcall(function()
return AssetService:GetBundleDetailsAsync(BundleToGet)
end)
if AssetDone and BundleDetails then
GameAnimBundle = {}
for _, itm in pairs(BundleDetails["Items"]) do
local InsertDone, result = pcall(function()
return InsertService:LoadAsset(itm["Id"])
end)
if InsertDone and result then
for _, c in pairs(result:GetDescendants()) do
if c:IsA("StringValue") then
warn(c.Name)
table.insert(GameAnimBundle, c)
break
end
end
else
--warn("ERROR:", result) -- Some bundles contains a Name key which is not an animation
end
end
return GameAnimBundle
else
warn("ERROR:", BundleDetails)
return false
end
end
local function ChangePlayerAnims(plr)
local CHAR = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HUM = CHAR:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animate = CHAR:WaitForChild("Animate")
Animate.Enabled = false
for _, a in pairs(HUM:WaitForChild("Animator"):GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
a:Stop()
end
for _, ani in pairs(GameAnimBundle) do
Animate:FindFirstChild(ani.Name):Destroy()
ani:Clone().Parent = Animate
end
Animate.Enabled = true
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
warn(plr, "joined")
if GameAnimBundle then
ChangePlayerAnims(plr)
else
if GetBundleAnims() then
ChangePlayerAnims(plr)
end
end
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
warn("spawn")
ChangePlayerAnims(plr)
end)
end)
That is just an example that works. You could improve it. For example, theres no reason to Load the Bundle animations into the GameAnimBundle table at the start of the game, even if only happens once would be better to save all those StringValues into ServerStorage, and place them on players when they join.
Hey! Thanks so much! My problem was that I got the animation ID’s from the bundle under the “what it includes” and then I come back here and I tried this and it works! Thank you so much!
