Failed to load AnimationClipProviderService

[wowland856 (wowland)]

Trying to play animations on my tool however I sometimes get “Failed to load AnimationClipProviderService” after respawning, causing my tools animations to not work.

I have tried the solution in this post already

How to fix the "Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service." error

Many people, including myself, have run into this error. I haven’t found any working solutions on the DevForum, and I spent days trying to figure out how to fix this. Today I ended up figuring it out, and I decided to post it here. Code that would error like this: local players = game:GetService('Players') local animationId = 13571756345 local animation = Instance.new('Animation') animation.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://'.. animationId players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) player.Chara…

I have no idea what is causing this.

This usually happens when you try loading an animation onto a character/model thats parent is nil. Make sure to load the animations when the characters parent isnt nil.

Could you send the script that is causing this error?

One of the staff member said to use the waitforchild(“Animator”) in order to wait for the Animator to be replicated then play the animation.

How? I have the same issue here.

I found a fix that works for me:

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
if not character or not character.Parent then
	character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end
