Keep getting error "Invalid animation id '<error: unknown AssetId protocol>': "

[domo30174]

I want to play an animation from a gun tool onto a character.

It keeps throwing the error Invalid animation id ‘<error: unknown AssetId protocol>’: at line 41, where it has just

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	idleAnim:Play()
	equipped = true
end) -- This is line 41

I tried to copy and paste a basic animationId template and replace it with my digits, but it isn’t working. Here is my code:

local idleAnim = Instance.new("Animation", script.Parent)

idleAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://131653501889264"

local idleAnimLoad = animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	idleAnim:Play()
	equipped = true
end) -- This is line 41

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	idleAnim:Stop()
	equipped = false
end)

Any help would be appreciated!

@domo30174

idleAnim:Play()

@domo30174

idleAnim:Stop()

Erm… Shouldn’t these be idleAnimLoad

Edit: But actually, how did you not get an error when you’re trying to use a non-existing method on the Animation?

I don’t know, I think it’s a problem with the rbxaasetid animationID that prevents the rest of the code from running

[sonic_848 (killer)]

Why don’t you try putting the animation under the script and then use it from there?

Okay I’ll use it when I get home (I’m on mobile right now)
