Dummy humanoids don't have animators?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Infinite yield possible on 'Workspace.Dummies.Dummy.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")'
I get this error for some reason, I’m trying to get everything players and dummies within a certain radius to play an animation.


for i,v in pairs(workspace.Dummies:GetChildren()) do
		if (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - v.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude <= 15 then
			table.insert(targets, v)
		end
	end

I get all the characters in the targets table to play the animation but it seems to only work on players.

#2

if u want to play animations using loadanimation use it on humanoids.

#3

nevermind im high, dummy humanoids don’t spawn with animators(i didnt know that) so i fixed it by just manually adding an animator into their humanoid

#4

also didnt loadanimation on humanoids got deprecated?

#5

Some NPCs may not have the Animator instance. For a failsafe, do this.

for i,v in pairs(workspace.Dummies:GetChildren()) do
	if (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - v.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude <= 15 then
		if not v.Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") then
			local animator = Instance.new("Animator")
			animator.Parent = v.Humanoid
		end
		table.insert(targets, v)
	end
end
#6

deprecated doesnt means cant be used

#7

you need to create animators in all the dummy humanoids, and then play the animation

uhh you shouldn’t use humanoid:LoadAnimation() as it’s deprecated and shouldn’t be used for new work
