Hello, on my TD placing system I am getting an error saying “Cannot load the animation clip service”. I don’t know if this is an issue because I am playing the animation on runservice or its a roblox bug. I am trying to play an animation while the unit is in the position of the mouse, but it doesnt play the idle animation and gives me the error
My code:
local function ifCanPlace(self, player: Player, name)
local animateScript = ReplicatedStorage.AnimateScript.Animate:Clone()
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
if currentUnitName == name and unitPlaceHolder then
unitPlaceHolder:Destroy()
unitPlaceHolder = nil
currentUnitName = nil
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
end
if sizeConnection then
sizeConnection:Disconnect()
sizeConnection = nil
end
rotationAngle = 0
return
end
currentUnitName = name
local towerExists = ReplicatedStorage.Units:FindFirstChild(name)
if not towerExists then
print("Tower doesn't exist")
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
end
if sizeConnection then
sizeConnection:Disconnect()
sizeConnection = nil
end
return
end
print("Placing unit " .. name)
if unitPlaceHolder then
if sizeConnection then
sizeConnection:Disconnect()
sizeConnection = nil
end
unitPlaceHolder:Destroy()
unitPlaceHolder = nil
end
