First, you’ll need to make sure the animation has the loop setting checked in the animation editor. To make the NPC play the animation, you’ll want to put a script inside the NPC and type something like this inside the script:

local AnimationObject = Instance.new("Animation")
AnimationObject.Parent = script.Parent
AnimationObject.AnimationID = “http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=animationidhere”

local Animation = script.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)

Animation:Play()

Hopefully this helps. If you have any questions feel free to ask

Try doing this:

local AnimationId = --//Put in the id here

local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = ("rbxassetid://%d"):format(AnimationId)
local AnimationTrack = script.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
AnimationTrack.Looped = true
AnimationTrack:Play()

My bad, try this instead:

AnimationObject.AnimationID = “http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=animationidhere”

a little late to the convo here, but where would I put this script? HumanoidRoot, the literal NPC group itself, or anywhere else? Also, Is it a normal script or local? Thank you!
