Having Trouble With Playing Animations On A Custom Rig

  1. What do you want to achieve? I would like to play an animation on a custom rig I have.

  2. What is the issue? Whenever I try playing the animation, it doesn’t work and the rig stays in a T-pose posture.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I have tried loading in the animation using the animation controller (parented to the rig), and I have tried using an animator (parented to the humanoid).

Code I used:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Character = script.Parent
local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

Character.AnimationController:LoadAnimation(script.Animation):Play()
Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation):Play()

And yes, the animation was made by using the rig to animate it.

Q;

  1. What animation tool do you use?
  2. Is the Body part anchored or not?
  3. Have you come to any errors using Roblox’s Animation Plugin?
  4. Is there a video showing what the process looks like?

Send me a file in private of the character model and I could try checking it out.

  • What animation tool do you use? I use the default animation editor.
  • Is the Body part anchored or not? I made sure they were anchored before I started animating.
  • Have you come to any errors using Roblox’s Animation Plugin? I’ve encountered no errors. I can even preview the animation. I just can’t actually play it.
  • Is there a video showing what the process looks like? I can just explain it.
    1: I got a rig from sketchfab for free.
    2: I put the imported the rig in studio (using the official method).
    3: I made an animation with it (worked fine) and then I scripted it so it played (it didn’t play).

Just remove this line as it is of no use. Try WaitForChild for animator if its StarterCharacter.
Tell about errors

I’ve tried every single method already and there were no errors. Just nothing happens.

Send video of animation for solution

As I said, nothing happens. It just stands in the same T-pose.

I mean Show animation in animation editor.

Works in the editor, but not when I try playing it in-game.

Found out how to fix it! You need to use an animator inside of an animation controller in the rig. I hope this helps anyone else with this problem!
