How to fix "Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service"

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

Yes.

the blessed almighty lord above all errors, i showcase to you, him himself; the ‘Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service’ error

yes, i did search this up before, but the ‘fix’ is outdated and no longer work. I need a new solution to this problem.

it doesn’t make any sense, i’m just doing animator:LoadAnimation(animation) inside of a numeric loop to spawn bunch NPCs at once.

for i = 1, 12 do
  local model = npc:Clone()
  
  local humanoid = model:FindFirstChildOfClass('Humanoid')
  local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass('Animator')

  local walk = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.walk) -- error happens right here
  local attack = animator:LoadAnimation(animations.attack)
end

Why you are using animator just say humanoid:LoadAnimation(animations.walk):Play()

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

just tried it, i got the same error unfortunately

[kvautme (SpooderDev)]

remove whole animator thing and play animation on humanoid

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

i got the same issue unfortunately

[kvautme (SpooderDev)]

can u show me script how u did it?

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

for i = 1, 12 do
  local model = zombieModel:Clone()

  local humanoid = model:FindFirstChildOfClass('Humanoid')

  local walk = humanoid:LoadAnimation(zombieAnimations.walk)
  local attack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(zombieAnimations.attack)

  local struct = {
    humanoid = humanoid,
    attack = attack,
    walk = walk,
  }

  table.insert(activeZombies, struct)

  model:PivotTo(getRandomSpawnPointCFrame())
  model.Parent = workspace
end

It happens with LoadAnimation() for both Animator and Humanoid, i don’t want to play the animation yet.

error happens as soon as the first LoadAnimation() is called in the ‘walk’ line

the contents of the zombie:

[kvautme (SpooderDev)]

you changed names mayebe thats the problem?

[kvautme (SpooderDev)]

or mayebe zombie misses some parts?

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

it’s fine the it’s actually zombieAnimations in the original script

@kvautme

or mayebe zombie misses some parts?

no idea, the zombie works perfectly fine without those lines

How to fix the "Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service." error idk if this helps

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

Yeah that is the fix i mentioned in the post, and other video i watched but they no longer work, it’s pretty sad that this happens, i think i’ll just change the structure of the code and maybe it will work, because animations are working fine for my character, it’s just the NPC that problems has

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

OK I made progress!

the time between the cloning of the model and calling LoadAnimation() for some reason matters, i moved the LoadAnimation() inside the loop and the animation is finally playing.

maybe physics has to catch up?

[BonesIsUseless (Bones)]

Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated

[CrazyAlternetive (Dpelayo02)]

Add a task.wait(duration) above your entire script
It worked for me

[kvautme (SpooderDev)]

too many frames mayebe i never had that problem before

[LiamKyd (JohnWick)]

I have finally found the solution.

This happens when you try to play an animation on a rig that has not yet loaded! If you want to avoid this error you have to make sure to parent the rig first before playing any animations!

so if you’re doing something like

local model = ReplicatedStorage.Model:Clone()
model.Humanoid:LoadAnimation() -- will error

All you have to do is to parent first before playing an animation.

local model = ReplicatedStorage.Model:Clone()
model.Parent = workspace

model.Humanoid:LoadAnimation() -- works fine!
