How do i preload animations for the client and play them when the server wants to

I know how to use remote events, but not content provider and these are my questions:

  1. If i preload animations as instances on the client, can exploiters spoof their id and steal them?

  2. Is it efficient to send a remote event back from the server to the client to play the specific animation for a specific attack?

really sorry if these questions are stupid

bump, i really need answers please

  1. Not sure, but maybe
  2. No.
    Can you say more info about your idea and what do u wanna do?
#4

I want to preload animations so they can play flawlessly whenever i load them when the character wants to attack, so they play instantly like theyre supposed to and i dont know how to go about it

To preload animation use this (only LocalScript):

--variables
local TestDummy:Model = workspace.TestDummy --some dummy that players will not see
local Animations = game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations --animations folder

--loading animations in TestDummy
for _,animation in pairs(Animations:GetChildren()) do
	TestDummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
end

maybe there is some another method. But I always use this

#6

so my question still remains, are the animations safe?
but thanks for the script

#7

uhh, no, exploiters can use Explorer hack and see everything in explorer (but not ServerScriptService and ServerStore, cuz SSS and SS are server sided)

#8

alright, and that includes the animation id?
