Looped property of AnimationTracks doesn't replicate to other players

[ChipioIndustries (chipio)]

When I create an animation track with the Animator object on the client, changing the Looped value does not replicate to other players. Other players simply see the looping behavior that was specified when the animation was originally published.

This repro file loads an animation track on the client, disables the Looped property, and plays it once. The animation should play once each time the character spawns. If you start a 2-player test with this file, you will see that while the local player’s character behaves correctly, the other player will continue to animate indefinitely.

The script is located in StarterCharacterScripts. Note that you will need to replace the ANIMATION_ID with an ID of your own animation. Make sure the animation is set to loop.

Note: this bug was reported and triaged back in the day, but it hasn’t been updated in years so I made a new thread in case the old one isn’t being tracked anymore. You can find the original thread here: AnimationTrack.Looped Does Not Replicate

I have also experienced this specific bug. This was unexpected behavior for me as well.

I was about to file my own. Thanks for doing this, this has been an ongoing issue for 6 years:

AnimationTrack.Looped Does Not Replicate

The AnimationTrack.Looped property does not replicate across the client/server boundary. Changing the looped property on the server, does not replicate the property to the clients. I discovered this when trying to set the looped property on an animation track on an NPC via a server side script. Changing the property only affects the looping behavior on the server.

Edit: Aha, you have it already linked. Nice.

lmao, i can’t with it sometimes, personally encountering this issue too, and it was 2 years ago, still come back to projects having the same issue.

Animations aren’t showing to other players

So, I made this basketball game thingy, and I was just thinking to test something out, but then I noticed that all the animations aren’t playing for other players. I also tested it with my friends on a published game too. Here’s a clip: I run all the animations on local, and this used to work, also saves alot of work for server I believe. The scripts I’m using for the player’s normal movements(running, walking etc.) are the Roblox default ones, where I just copy those and put them …

CustomRig animations not replicating as supposed

This is a project I made years ago Animations aren’t showing to other players, did not finish cuz I got bored with it, and recently I picked it back up again thinking of doing a revamp version, but funny enough. I re-encountered the SAME PROBLEM. [FIXED OLD PLACE] https://gyazo.com/261c34d0e5e66f31cc52bb0dca4acf87 ; https://gyazo.com/61b40a4966df321e4835ad228c1a6840 I’ve tested multiple times, using my old script on the new game, using my new script on the new game, things remained the same, o…

this feels genuinely pathetic
