Identify issue with animation script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Can someone identify the issue with this script (I’m new, Sorry if its obvious)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ani = Instance.new("Animation")
ani.AnimationId = "6213269139"

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input, event)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and not event then
		local playAni = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(ani)
		playAni:Play()
	end
end)

Note: Its a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts, I tried starter character scripts.
Heres the error when I try to press the designated key.

In animations, if you type a number into the id section, it will change to add rblxasset or something in front.

First put those numbers into the AnimationId section, wait for it to convert into a string, then copy that into the script

EDITED.
What @Mad_Scientist99 is true, and animations are assets. Animation IDs, as well as sound, mesh IDs etc. should be accompanied with “rbxassetid://”. In the following code, I also moved animation loading outside function, because the animation has to be loaded only once. Another change is the object we are loading animation to. humanoid:LoadAnimation() has been deprecated in favour of animator:LoadAnimation(). Both methods work, although animator is a descendant of humanoid, so in newer work, loading of animations should be performed on it directly.

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

if (not Players.LocalPlayer.Character) then Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait() end
local humanoid = Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6213269139"
local playAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and not gameProcessed then
		playAnim:Play()
	end
end)

EDIT.
@octav20071 thank you for your reply! That is indeed the issue, although I believe you accidentally replied to me, otherwise, the solution has most likely already been found, but the original poster hasn’t yet responded.

EDIT (2)
@akai_shi1 are you sure animation ID is correct? Did you set animation priority?

I think you should change ani.AnimationId = “6213269139” to ani.AnimationId = “rbxassetid://6213269139”

edit: oops ^^

I tried throwing that into a local script, no errors when I go to press the key nothing happened.

Ah there we go, Thank you. One last question: Its a sitting animation how would I keep the player setting on the ground until a key is pressed? ( No need to answer just wondering)

EDIT (2021-03-07)

@akai_shi1 try this code. It is changed a little bit, but consists of two parts.

Part one is a server script that belongs into your seat. It checks for occupants and loads animations to them.

seat = script.Parent

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6213269139"

local _animTrack

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()	
	local occupant = seat.Occupant
	if (occupant ~= nil) then
		local animator = occupant:FindFirstChild("Animator")
		if (animator) then
			_animTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
			_animTrack:Play()
		end
	else
		_animTrack:Stop()
	end
end)

The other part belongs in StarterCharacterScripts. Each time player is sits down, the script prevents player from jumping until they press F (or any other key). It works no matter which seat it is. I used ContextActionService instead of UserInputService, because you can bind actions according to context that way. Pressing F (or other key), while player is not sitting doesn’t have any effect in this case.

local CAS = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

if (not Players.LocalPlayer.Character) then Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait() end
local humanoid = Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local connection

local function preventJumping(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	connection:Disconnect()
	CAS:UnbindAction("preventJumping")
	humanoid.Sit = false; humanoid.Jump = true
	return Enum.ContextActionResult.Pass
end

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Sit"):Connect(function()
	RunService.Heartbeat:Wait() -- Wait for state to change.
	if (humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Seated) then
		CAS:BindAction("preventJumping", preventJumping, false, Enum.KeyCode.F)
		connection = humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Jump"):Connect(function()
			humanoid.Jump = false
		end)
	end
end)

Thank you for that, I tried it but the character stood up, It might be something with the animation not sure.

Make sure your animation is set to loop

It’s not like an actual sitting animation its like a sitting emote, I’m wondering how to keep them setting?
