How to get animation play on Player2?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

So I have added a portion to my arrest script, and everything works up to the point where when Player1 goes to interact, the animation that plays is played on Player1, but it’s meant to play the animation on Player2 to arrest them.

How do I go about playing the animation on specifically the player that is getting arrested?

Here is my original code:

local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local RS = game:GetService('RunService')
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui
local Interact = PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('Main').Interact
local PlayerInfo = PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('Main').PlayerInfo
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Fill = PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('Main').Interact.Fill
local ClickNoise = PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('Main').Interact.ClickNoise
local Prompt = PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('Main').Interact.Prompt

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

local DistanceRequirement = 10
local TimeToPickUp = .5
		
local hastarget

local isInteracting = false
local isAttached = false

local groupMembership = false
if Player:IsInGroup(6140174) then
	groupMembership = true
end

mouse.Move:connect(function()
	Interact.Position = UDim2.new(0, mouse.X + 15, 0, mouse.Y +5)
	PlayerInfo.Position = UDim2.new(0, mouse.X + 15, 0, mouse.Y +5)
end)

local CheckTarget = coroutine.wrap(function()
	while wait(0.1) do
		local target = mouse.Target -- defines target as whatever the mouse is on
		if target then -- if target exists		
			if target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				local TargetPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent)
				print("Mouse is on Torso")
				PlayerInfo.Visible = true
				PlayerInfo.Username.Text = target.Parent.Name
				if TargetPlayer:IsInGroup(6140174) then -- PG
					PlayerInfo.Allegiance.Text = "[PRAETORIAN]"
					PlayerInfo.FactionLogo.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/asset?id=7229681784"
				elseif TargetPlayer:IsInGroup(6124305) then -- SPQR
					PlayerInfo.Allegiance.Text = "[SPQR]"
					PlayerInfo.FactionLogo.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/asset?id=7229677957" 
				else
					PlayerInfo.Allegiance.Text = "[OUTSIDER]"
					PlayerInfo.FactionLogo.Image = "http	s://www.roblox.com/asset?id=0"
				end
			else
				PlayerInfo.Visible = false
			end
			
			if target.Name == "PG" then
				PlayerInfo.Visible = true
				PlayerInfo.Allegiance.Text = "[PRAETORIAN]"
				PlayerInfo.Username.Text = target.Name
				PlayerInfo.FactionLogo.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/asset?id=7229681784"
			end
			if target.Name == "SPQR" then
				PlayerInfo.Visible = true
				PlayerInfo.Allegiance.Text = "[SPQR]"
				PlayerInfo.Username.Text = target.Name
				PlayerInfo.FactionLogo.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/asset?id=7229677957"
			end
			if target.Name == "OUTSIDER" then
				PlayerInfo.Visible = true
				PlayerInfo.Allegiance.Text = "[OUTSIDER]"
				PlayerInfo.Username.Text = target.Name
				PlayerInfo.FactionLogo.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/asset?id=0"
			end
			
			if (target.Name == "Right Arm" or target.Name == "Left Arm") and Player:DistanceFromCharacter(mouse.Hit.p) <= DistanceRequirement and target.Parent ~= Player.Character then --if mouse hovers over left or right arm
				isInteracting = true
				print("Using Interaction")
				Prompt.Text = "Handcuff " .. target.Parent.Name
				local TargetPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent) --targetc is the player of the target. It's getting the player.
				Interact.Visible = true -- Interact Image Label turns visible, showing the circle and the textlabel
			elseif (target.Name == "Left Leg" or target.Name == "Right Leg") and Player:DistanceFromCharacter(mouse.Hit.p) <= DistanceRequirement and target.Parent ~= Player.Character then
				isInteracting = true
				print("Using Interaction")
				Prompt.Text = "Attach " .. target.Parent.Name.. "'s legs"
				Interact.Visible = true
			elseif (target.Name == "Leather") and Player:DistanceFromCharacter(mouse.Hit.p) <= DistanceRequirement then
				isInteracting = true
				print("Using Interaction")
				Prompt.Text = "Click and hold to collect leather."
				Interact.Visible = true
			else
				isInteracting = false
				Fill:TweenSizeAndPosition (UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0), UDim2.new(.5, 0, .5, 0), "Out", "Linear", 0, true)
				Interact.Visible = false
			end
			
			--local TargetPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target.Parent)
			--if TargetPlayer then
			--	print(TargetPlayer)
			--end
		else
			--print("nothing is being hovered on")
		end
		--print(Fill.Size)
		print(isInteracting)
		
		if Fill.Size.X.Scale == 96 then
			print("Fill's size is equal to 96")
			--Fill:TweenSizeAndPosition (UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0), UDim2.new(.5, 0, 0.5, 0), "Out", "Linear", 0, true)
			--print(Fill.Size)
		end
	end
end)

local isUp = false
local AnimationHandcuffed = PlayerGui:FindFirstChild('LocalScriptVinny').AnimationHandcuffed
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local AnimationID = "697009153"
local CharAnimation

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	isUp = true
	Fill.Visible = true
	if isInteracting == true then
		if Fill.Visible then
			Fill:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 96, 0, 95), "Out", "Linear", TimeToPickUp, true, function()
				ClickNoise:Play()
				print("Tween Completed")
				isAttached = true
				print("Is Attached == true")
				local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
				Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://697009153"
				local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(AnimationHandcuffed)
				Track:Play()
			end)
			
		end
	end
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
	Interact.Visible = false
	Fill:TweenSizeAndPosition (UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0), UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.495, 0), "Out", "Linear", 0, true)
	print("mouse up")
end)

Here is the result of what’s happening:

I suggest you take a look at this: Animator | Roblox Creator Documentation
You probably have to load the animation on the target humanoid instead of your own humanoid, and then play the loaded animation track.

Like how @Auxintic said.
You would have to get the target player’s Animator and parent the animation to the other player’s animator under humanoid and then play the animation.

O R

You can use a remote event ig to communicate with another client, but that is not ideal.
This method would have to lauch to the server and then back to the specific client and play the animation from that local script in the target player. I suggest the first option :)!

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()

local target = mouse.Target -- defines target as whatever the mouse is on
	if target then -- if target exists		
	local Humanoid = target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	      isUp = true
	      Fill.Visible = true
	      if isInteracting == true then
		      if Fill.Visible then
			      Fill:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 96, 0, 95), "Out", "Linear", TimeToPickUp, true, function()
				      ClickNoise:Play()
				      print("Tween Completed")
				      isAttached = true
				      print("Is Attached == true")
				      local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
				      Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://697009153"
				      local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(AnimationHandcuffed)
				     Track:Play()
			      end)
			
		      end
	      end
      end
end)

Replacing your MouseButton1Down event to this might work actually
