Can you make sure that the NPC isn’t anchored?

You shouldn’t use the other code samples in this thread if the first one given doesn’t work. The first one will work if your setup is correct. If it doesn’t work for you, your rig isn’t set up right.

Check for:

  • Correctly indexing the Humanoid
  • Does the script actually run? Is it maybe disabled?
  • Is the rig anchored? (it shouldn’t be anchored)

Here are some suggestions,

Make sure that the animation belongs to you, if you are doing a group game, upload that game to that group.```

Animation is in the group, game is in the group, and I am owner of the group but I cannot take the animation for some reason nor make it for sale by configuring it.

You should try importing it using Moon Animation Suite plugin or ROBLOX Main one. After that export it again to your group.

I am trying to make that NPC does the animation, what do you mean by him loading the animation?

Loading basically makes the npc ingame shows the animation.

Hey sorry for being pushy but can you make sure that none of the parts in the NPC are anchored. It’s a pretty common problem in a lot of the “animation won’t play” threads.

For the humanoid,

local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=(animation)"

-- Local variables
local animTrack = nil
local canPlay = script.Parent:findFirstChild("CanPlay")

function playShockAnim(Source)
    if canPlay then
        local playAnimation = game.(model).Character
        canPlay.Value = false
        animTrack = game.Destrioggok.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) -- Load animation into Humanoid
        animTrack.KeyFrameReached:connect(function(keyframeName) -- Bind function to KeyframeReached event
            if keyframeName == "end" then
                canPlay.Value = true
            end
        end)
        animTrack:Play() -- Start the animation
    end


end

script.Parent:WaitForChild("CanPlay").Changed:connect(playShockAnim)

What I did above is : I created a BoolValue to store the canplay ability. If the NPC touches the part , the BoolValue will transfer to the person or Humanoid that touched it.Then if the Canplay ability is true , the animation plays.

Everything is anchored.

Then unanchor them! Anchored parts won’t move.

It shouldn’t be anchored! Only HumanoidRootPart has to be anchored. Everything else must be anchored to false!

Note: the humanoid has to be unanchored.

Here’s a pretty solid suggestion:

Use the script that buildthomas suggested in the first reply, and this time make sure that none of the parts in the NPC are anchored.
