How do I save a rig with the animation still playing

[metatablesnow (snow)]

This is probably common sense, and that’s why I can’t find the solution anywhere, but how can I copy a rig with the animation still playing?
Like this,

but when I paste it, I want it to keep that animation that was playing.

depends on how you are playing the animation in the first place. Are you doing it with a script?

also, I don’t know if there is a way to have animations play when you’re not in playtesting mode. (I could be wrong tho)

I believe you can anchor the entire rig before copying it to maintain the pose.
