This is my script from all of the replies and it still doesn’t work

#22

you need to first load the animation, you can use the humanoid of the dummy or if the dummy has a animationcontroller inside instead of a humanoid

Humanoid version:

PathToYourHumanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation):Play()

AnimationController version:

PathToYourAnimationController:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation):Play()
#23 
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
if message == "test" then 
    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)
    track:Play()
end

give this a shot, you do not need to create an animator if you are trying to animate the player, its already there under the humanoid

#24

Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated, use an animator instead.

#25

Perhaps the animation priority is set wrong? Use Action instead.

#26

Im trying to animate a dummy,. so it wont work

#27

dummys still have the animator under their humanoid, created when the game is run

#28

Then what am I supoosed to have as a child in the dummy?

#29 
local character = path to your rig
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
if message == "test" then 
    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)
    track:Play()
end

just get the dummy instead of the player

#30

That’s only for Players, not any humanoid

#31

Nope, wont work. No outputs or anything.

#32 
local animation = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animation")
local animator = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):FindFirstChild("Animator") or Instance.new("Animator", script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"))
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
		if message == "test" then
			animator:LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
		end
	end)
end)

Okay heres a tutorial:

  1. Insert the dummy:

  1. Use the Humanoid inside the dummy, or if you want to use something else delete the humanoid and add a AnimationController I recommend just using the Humanoid since thats already there or, you could add a Animator inside the humanoid:

  1. Insert a script, and a animation, make sure the animation has the correct animation ID:

  1. Put the following code inside the script:

image

script.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation):Play()

-- Or put Script.Parent.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation):Play() if you are using a animator
#35

Load animations with the ANIMATOR, Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated…

just made this, it works perfectly you just have to adapt for your chat module

here is the code used

local rig = script.Parent -- change to your path
local hum = rig:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local animator = hum:FindFirstChild("Animator")
local track = animator:LoadAnimation(script.CrouchIdle)
task.wait(3)
track:Play()

works excellently and their is an animator there already

#37

Everything looks fine, perhaps did you not set the animation id? You also must say “test” in the chat for the animation to play during a play test.

#39

I did, Its there. 15189023626 is the ID.

#40

it works fine but its not good practice, deprecated does not mean deleted. which is what @TaxFraudBruh essentially assumed you knew. just because it works fine doesn’t mean its always a good idea

#41

Yeah I know its not deleted, just saying it still works
