How to play animations on a skinned mesh

i have a skinned mesh, and i’m trying to play an animation on it through a localscript (the skinned mesh is cloned and parented on the client)

here’s what the model looks like:

the animation loads perfectly fine without any issues on the animation editor, i just can’t get it to load while in the game

here are the lines that try to play the animation, i made sure that the script goes over those lines and there’s no error either

also i forgot to add that the skinned mesh is also parented to a player’s character

I used mixamo to animate my skinned mesh models, Why don’t you use a humanoid and put the animator in there? Also, you need to make sure to have you models at 0,0,0 when exporting models from blender etc.

i’ll have to ask the animator if he did, and i didn’t experiment much with the humanoid part, but since the skinned meshes are welded to the character at an angle it forced the character to be at an awkward angle and didn’t play the animation either

Here is a game I made using skinned mesh . I made it copyunlocked for you so you can scan the scripts. Most animations there still work
