Retro Animation Script not replicating to the Server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

  1. What do you want to achieve? I’m trying to recreate the Older clients, and I need the old animations. So I am using the original animation script, as that has worked for me in the past.

  2. What is the issue? Despite the script replicating in other projects, it seems to not want to here.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Most people are not using the old animation scripts, so obviously it is hard to find solutions.

The script, if anyone has not seen the original animate script. (Yes, there are deprecated features. I will fix that once I’ve gotten this to replicate like before)

--THIS IS THE ORIGINAL ANIMATE SCRIPT, TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM A CLIENT FROM JULY 2010.
--THERE ARE DEPRECATED THINGS! DO NOT HARASS ME PLEASE, I WILL FIX THEM LATER!
