Humanoid Description - Loading Animations

Hi, I’m working on an outfit-type game, and I’m stuck on loading animations using HumanoidDescription. I’ve already fetched all the animation bundles from Roblox, but when I try to apply them, I get an error.

This is my code for loading animations (server-side):

function Module._updateAnimations(player: Player, bundleId: number)
	-- Check if player is valid | SERVER
	if not I.Player.Valid(player) then
		return
	end

	--[[ Getting Humanoid ]]

	local character = player.Character
	local hum: Humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	local humDesc: HumanoidDescription = hum:GetAppliedDescription()

	if not humDesc then
		return
	end

	--[[ Getting Animations Bundle Folder ]]

	local catalogStorageFolder = I.Dirs.UmeReplicated:FindFirstChild(_localName)
	local bundlesFolder = catalogStorageFolder and catalogStorageFolder:FindFirstChild("AnimationBundles")
	local animationsFolder: Model = bundlesFolder and bundlesFolder:FindFirstChild(tostring(bundleId))
	if not animationsFolder then
		return
	end

	--[[ Updating Animations ]]

	for _, strVal: StringValue in ipairs(animationsFolder:GetChildren()) do
		if strVal.Name == "idle" then
			local anim1 = strVal:FindFirstChild("Animation1")
			local anim1Id = anim1 and string.split(anim1.AnimationId, "?id=")[2]
			local anim2 = strVal:FindFirstChild("Animation2")
			local anim2Id = anim2 and string.split(anim2.AnimationId, "?id=")[2]

			if anim1Id then
				humDesc.IdleAnimation = tonumber(anim1Id) or 0
			end
			if anim2Id then
				humDesc.MoodAnimation = tonumber(anim2Id) or 0
			end
		else
			local anim = strVal:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animation")
			local animId = anim and string.split(anim.AnimationId, "?id=")[2]
			if animId then
				humDesc[animNames[strVal.Name]] = tonumber(animId) or 0
			end
		end
	end

	--[[ Applying ]]

	hum:ApplyDescriptionReset(humDesc)
end

I get the following error:

Where should I put the R15Anim folder? Or should I be using a different method?

You should probably use an Animator to load an animation instead. They’re located as a child of the humanoid.
