:LoadAnimation() "Unable to cast value to object"

Hey,

Recently I made a Pose GUI for my profile maker game, and I just got this error?

The code:

wait()
anim = "rbxassetid://NoIdForYou"
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
     game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
end)

Why is this happening? I’ve tried to fix it many times now…

Learned that it only works with instances

Side note, but do consider looking at the Humanoid’s Animator object, it’s more modern :wink:

wait()
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local anim = AnimationInstance

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
     local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
     local LoadAnim = Animator:LoadAnimation(anim)

    LoadAnim:Play()
end)

Loading the animation on the Humanoid is deprecated.

Consider using,

local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

Animator:LoadAnimation(anim)

instead! :wink:

I saw your post don’t hide it aha

I’m frequently on here! Just attempting to help others whilst at the same time being chill & doing it with a humorous twist! Also for future reference, here’s a general term on what “deprecated” is from an analogy if you’re not certain on what it is:
