Is it possible to disable humanoid states in the studio or can it only be done via script?

Greetings,

I have a bunch of NPCs that run shops, I’ve read that disabling states which are not needed reduces the resource usage of humanoids, and since they just stand there and play idle animations(in a serverside script) i want to disable all their humanoid states. Atm I am using a for i,v loop to disable all teh states when the server starts, but I am wondering if this can be done in studio via explorer or command bar

It also occurs to me now ask if i should be playing the animations locally instead? I just copied the Animate script from player char to a server script and put it inside the models. Perhaps this is overkill for npcs that just stand there and idle?

Thanks for your time

This can only be done through the command bar or through scripts.

You can if you want to possibly save stress on the server but keep in mind local scripts can’t run in workspace (unless they’re parented to the player’s character).

Indeed it can be done through the command bar, my issue was that I was trying to set .None state which can’t be set but only read, thus I was confused about why i can’t set it.
