Playing animations made by Roblox

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

So, I made an animation script and it works fine. The problem is, if I try to play animations created by Roblox such as

^this, it the animation won’t play. No errors.

Animations only work if it is in YOUR profile (if you have a group, upload it there, not your profile, otherwise it wont work either), for example, your friend created an animation and uploaded it on his profile, it would only working on his game, but not on yours. Same goes for roblox, etc…

Also, it’s an emote from the catalog / avatar shop, not from the library, so it wouldn’t suprise me if that didn’t work anyways.

Hope this helped!

How can I get the animation id then

Well, I don’t think there’s any way of getting standard roblox emotes from the catalog into your game.
Personally, I don’t think it’s possible, unless you use some illegal way (which I DONT recommend, it could get you banned) or if roblox adds a way themselves.

Oh I see, thanks for the help.

Actually, I think it’s possible since the creator of this game somehow did it

Well, I’m not an animator myself, and I don’t really use standard roblox anims in the first place, so my advice / help might be wrong at certain times.

You can load the contents of the emote with InsertService and then copy the animation id from the loaded animation

Will something this work?

--5915779043 is the id of the Roblox emote
local animation_id = insertservice:LoadAsset(5915779043)

The documentation clearly says LoadAsset returns a Model

If you want to get the animation id manually then parent the loaded model to workspace, open it, and copy the animation id.
If you want to do it automatically then you can use Model:FindFirstChildOfClass'Animation' to get the animation inside the model and then you can get the animation id with Animation.AnimationId

That’s an emote. This isn’t an animation, it is more likely an Avatar Item. Try loading the following Animation ID: 5915693819

12

That works, can you tell me how you got the id? Thanks

I have an extension called BTRoblox (Better Roblox) that allows me to see the explorer of an asset. I just selected the animation UI and pasted the ID from AnimationID property.
