Would it be possible to get a copy of your testing place for this? I can’t get the animations to run
my local script code:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local h = char.Humanoid
local animation = game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation
animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=2097675014"
h:LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
It works when I test it in solo / client local mode
I mean, you can, but there isn’t really much (or anything) on said test place.
AnimationRepro.rbxl (14.9 KB)
I just want to clarify for safety’s sake, which of these two scenarios are you trying to achieve?
If it’s the first one, you can create the Animation object on the client and run it. I think I may have mentioned that already. As for the second one, well, that’s where the issue is occurring as per my previous post.
I was thinking of throwing together a hack where a pseudomodel would animate and then Transform of the target character would be set every frame to the pseudomodel’s movements, but that may be a little much.
Final solution:
I will have each player worry about their own character’s animation - considering that the Motor6Ds will replicate the character actions / movement.
Thanks again to everyone that contributed towards this thread, especially colbert2677 
Edit** Thank you TheGamer101
I’m a bit late to this thread but there is a general solution to disabling replication of Animations that isn’t too difficult to achieve.
To animate a player character locally only you can replace the Animator object under the Humanoid with a new copy in a LocalScript. This will disable animation replication from that client.
For non player characters a local AnimationController should be used.
There is some more information in this thread:

Exploiters cannot play their own animations, The animation has to be owned by the game owner or the ROBLOX account.
