How can I play an animation I made in the official Roblox editor?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

attempt to index nil with play()

Ok maybe change play() to Play() instead

Also your variables should be defined at the start of the script

#22

Moving the variables to the top some reason breaks the whole script.

Wait I’m dumb AHHAHAAH

The Animator object is supposed to be in the Character’s Humanoid

Change line 9 to

local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

OOOOP we gettin somewhere, I just gotta figure out how to override the tool holding animation

#25

Is there a way to make an animation be a priority over other animations?

#26

Yep! You can set the Animation’s Priority to I believe to Action when you start to reference the Animation variable

Animation.AnimationPriority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
#27

So I just slap that next to the variables? Let’s try it.

#28

Actually, it’s easier than that — you can simply just go to the animation in the Animation Editor and set the Animation Priority in the animation settings.
