Hi guys how are you, im making an emote ui but when i try to play the animation it doesnt work and no error appears.

here is the code:

local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or ( LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait() and LocalPlayer.Character );
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") :: Humanoid;
			
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation");
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..v -- Dance Id;
Animation.Name = k -- Dance Name;
			
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation);
AnimationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
AnimationTrack:Play();

here is the animation

i dont know if its normal but when i put in the workspace it makes a keyframe

Try parenting Animation to Character. Make sure you destroy the animation once the player is finished with it.

local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or ( LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait() and LocalPlayer.Character );
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") :: Humanoid

local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild(“Animator”)
			
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation");
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..v -- Dance Id;
Animation.Name = k -- Dance Name;
			
local AnimationTrack =Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation);
AnimationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
AnimationTrack:Play();

Is it in a local or server script? Animations need to be played on the client (local script).

i already tried this script but nothing

I tried plugging your code into a tool-

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = players.LocalPlayer

local v = 000000000
local k = "Dance Name"

local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or ( LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait() and LocalPlayer.Character );
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") :: Humanoid;

function activated()
	local Animation = Instance.new("Animation");
	Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..v -- Dance Id;
	Animation.Name = k -- Dance Name;

	local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation);
	AnimationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
	AnimationTrack:Play();
	print("Play")
end

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(activated)

It works, (at least for me). The problem isn’t this part of the code, it’s whatever you’re doing to call it.

it didnt work for me lol, maybe its my roblox studio error, i dont know…

#9

Did you put it in a tool and change “v” to your animationID?

#10

This is not true. Infact, it might even be worse to use them on a client. Using them on a server is more efficient and will let everybody see what animations you play.

#11

I think either is fine, I’m pretty sure that basic Roblox movement animations are all done on a local script. Players have NetworkOwnership.

#12

Yeah, I think that’s because it was made before the FilteringEnabled updates. They made it work even though it’s on a client and wouldn’t show to other players.

#13

Honestly I don’t know, I’ve had instances where it’s shown for all on client but also not. You’re probably right in that it’s better to fire the server and run it there.

Could you maybe send more code or explain how you are calling the function?

#15

for now, im not calling it, i just copy and paste ur code and change the id with mine

#16

Ah, alright. We’ll just put my code in a local script in a tool (make sure to add a handle or turn of RequireHandle in the properties), replace the animationID and it should work.

#17

yeah i know i alr did that but didnt work

#18

Strange, did you encounter any errors in the log?

#19

nope, it didnt, i dont know why it doesnt work

#20

Can you send a screenshot or something (if you don’t mind) so I can see where things are placed?
