I think what you could do is take the original animate script and change the animation ids

  1. Get you animate script. It is inside you character everytime you test the game
  2. Open it and change the idle id
  3. Put it on you dummy.

If that doesn’t work, make a script which plays the animation on the dummy’s humanoid(it has to be looped)

Hey, due to the fact i’m using a custom model the animate script doesn’t appear, pretty sure?

Yes that is what I do when modifying or adding in a custom animate script

You may have to add in a few tweeks with the body scaling and things but most of the time if it errors click the warning then add it in.

Hey i tried to add an idle animation and it didn’t work, this is all that came out in output?

Infinite yield possible on ‘Workspace.BreakinMoose:WaitForChild(“Torso”)’

Does a “Torso” exist in your character?

#15

Does your character have “animator” inside it? It’s what used to load in animations.
You can give any character animations as long as it has: Humanoid and Animator.

#16

Yeah it does have animator inside it so it should work?

#17

Yeah it does have torse in it, so it should work right?

If it has an animator you just use a simple animation loader script and it should work fine.

would i have to create multiple animator scripts for each animation?

#20

You only need one script to use Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation) You can play said animation with Animation:Play() Animator:LoadAnimation

#21

How do you loop it,

Animation:Loop()

?
