Remote event invocation queue exhausted

[dukzae]

The LocalScript should be under StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts and look like this:

local sound = workspace.Sound

local animation = script:WaitForChild('Dance')
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local dance = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

sound:GetPropertyChangedSignal("PlaybackLoudness"):Connect(function()
   print(sound.PlaybackLoudness)
end)

dance:Play()
dance.Looped = true

That’s weird. I thought local scripts cant play animations. Also the changedsignal event doesn’t print out the value.

I think the issue here is unsolved, but I don’t need to worry about it anymore since I changed to a runservice event.

As long as it’s their own character, that’s the ideal implementation

Should I load an Animation on the client or server?

In order for AnimationTracks to replicate correctly, it’s important to know when they should be loaded on the client (via a LocalScript ) or on the server (via a Script ).

If an Animator is a descendant of a Humanoid or AnimationController in a Player’s Character then animations started on that Player’s client will be replicated to the server and other clients.

If the Animator is not a descendant of a player character, its animations must be loaded and started on the server to replicate.

The Animator object must be initially created on the server and replicated to clients for animation replication to work at all. If an Animator is created locally, then AnimationTracks loaded with that Animator will not replicate.

Both Humanoid:LoadAnimation() and AnimationController:LoadAnimation() will create an Animator if one does not already exist. When calling LoadAnimation from LocalScripts you need to be careful to wait for the Animator to replicate from the server before calling LoadAnimation if you want character animations to replicate. You can do this with WaitForChild(“Animator”).

Also the changedsignal event doesn’t print out the value.

PlaybackLoudness won’t update if the sound isn’t playing

As a side note to sort of resolve the initial problem, is that the original “Remote event invocation queue exhausted” error happened when there was no script listening for .OnServerEvent. The script you had probably wasn’t running because it was not put into a container where it could run (or it was disabled).
