How can I make cloned character have animations

#1

I am designing a custom character maker and at 1 point I duplicate the character of the player and place it infront of a camera, it works but I wanna make it more appealing by letting the cloned character have animations from the character but I just get the character look like a still stick.

Normally your players characters animations would be controlled by a LocalScript inside the player, however the local script for controlling the animations would not work in non-player characters as there is not Player associated with it.

You can fix this by creating the animation controller script from a Script as opposed to a Local Script, you can do this by:

  1. Run the game
  2. Go into your character, grab the Animation Local Script, copy it and leave the playtest
  3. Paste the Animation Local Script back down, and copying all the children into a new Script
  4. Now copy the contents of the Animate Local Script into the new script.
  5. Place this new script into the character model and it should work fine.

does it work if we put the animate script(ServerScript Version) into the startercharacterscript?
