Playing An Animation on a Custom Rigged Character

#1

Hello there!

I am trying to figure out how to play an animation on this rig I have created.

Whatever I try, after looking at several posts on the same topic, I cannot figure out how to run the animation. So my model is stuck like this:

And for those unaware you can animate custom models, that do not have normal r6 and r15 parts, I just found out earlier today aswell so yes it is possible.

Here is my code:

task.wait(6)

local animationId = "rbxassetid://11353776036" 
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")

animation.AnimationId = animationId
local animator = script.Parent.AnimationController.Animator
local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
animationTrack.Looped = true
animationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Core

animationTrack:Play()
print("a")

It successfully prints at the end of the execution, no errors. I added that task.wait(6) to make sure the code was not executing too early. Here is my explorer:

Thank you for all those attempting to help. It is greatly appreciated! (and yes this animation was made for this specific rig)

You dont load the animation with the Animator, you load with the AnimationController

task.wait(6)

local animationId = "rbxassetid://11353776036" 
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")

animation.AnimationId = animationId
local animationTrack = script.Parent.AnimationController:LoadAnimation(animation)
animationTrack.Looped = true -- Looped for not?
animationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Core -- This is not important as its already set

animationTrack:Play()
print("a")

Humanoid and AnimationController are too seperate things, the only difference is that AnimationController animates non rigs

Edit: just had to delete animation controller and put animator in humanoid. Thanks.
