I think it might be this line of code possibly. Try this:

local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

Or it could just be that the animation itself has been uploaded incorrectly or something because to me all the code should work, is the game on a group or account?

Where are you uploading the new ones too? Is it anywhere different than where the old animations were uploaded to? And are the animations meant to work for R15 or R6 because your game might be a differenT R version from the animation.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char.Humanoid

local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")

local anim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")

local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)

track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement

task.wait(3)
track:Play()

I meant is your game R15 or R6 because some animations only work for those versions.

yeah i did but it did nothing…

What kind of animation is it you are trying to play? Make sure it has proper animation priority and that there are NO other default animations playing, for example if its a walking animation make sure to edit the default animate script so it doesnt play the default walking anim as it will override the one you want to play.

On a side note: Dont self deprecate as it leads you nowhere only postpones any meaningful progress, its self-sabotage, just take your time and enjoy the process of problem solving.
im here to help.

Is this a local script? StarterPlayerScripts only runs LocalScripts, it will ignore any ServerScripts. Also why are you putting in PlayerScripts? Its best to put in in CharacterScripts as it will ensure the players character loading properly

Had anxiety to respond but

Can you use humanoid:LoadAnimation() without using the Animator? It works also.

Note : char.Humanoid? You need to detect whether it exists or not so it’s probably char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"). Another one, pls state again with if humanoid then so the script can fully check if it exists or it’s just a myth.

This is my possible respond and not anything is guaranteed.
