Why does animation not load for other players?

[lilzy7 (Turtlekat)]

I want this animation to load for all players so all players can see it.

Here is what I did:

local anim2 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.sworddown)
anim2:Play()

This script is inStarterPlayerScripts. The animation is the child of this script.

Here is what happens:

Animation on my screen (for me):

What I see from other players:

Why is the animation only showing for me and not other players? I am confused if I should have the animation on server side or whatever.
Also, I use moon animator, and I put a motor inside the player’s right arm then connect it between the sword and the right arm then load the animation. I am confused on what is happening.

Is this issue similar?

Animations wont show on other players?

My animations will only load on current players, and will not be visible for others. However, sometimes you can see other players with animations? wait() local RunService = game:GetService(“RunService”) local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local Character = workspace:WaitForChild(Player.Name) local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”) local Root = Character:WaitForChild(“HumanoidRootPart”) local animsFolder = script:WaitForChild("AnimsFolder") function newAnim(name) local a =…

yes it’s exactly what I mean, that is my issue

I have an issue where the animation only shows for the player that’s playing, and the player doesn’t see the same animation load in for other players. I used :LoadAnimation though.

A post earlier described about a solution on it:

Animations don't replicate when client plays them

Sorry about this: The documentation on AnimationController and Humanoid for playing animations from the client has been incorrect for a long time. It doesn’t rely on network ownership at all. Replicating animations from the client is only allowed for descendants of the Player’s Character. Making the model a descendant of the Character in your repro makes it work. In this case, if it’s not physically a part of the Character model and low-latency responsiveness to user input isn’t absolutely cri…

Might be the issue, or otherwise could be a different issue.

I’m still confused, what do I do? Also my issue is that animations 100% appear for the player that’s playing, but the animation doesn’t play/display/show from other players doing it.

Humanoid.LoadAnimation() has been deprecated since November and may cause serious issues with your scripts. Instead, you should use the Animator followed by this code below:

local Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass"Animator"

if not Animator then
   Animator = Instance.new("Animator", Humanoid)
end

local AnimTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(AnimId)
AnimTrack:Play()

Humanoid.LoadAnimation() has been deprecated since November and may cause serious issues with your scripts

Just a note on this: it won’t. Humanoid’s LoadAnimation has always been a sort of soft redirect to the Animator object. It’s not quite an independent function on its own and your code won’t experience issues using it. It’s almost certainly unrelated.

So what do I do to fix this issue?

[lilzy7 (Turtlekat)]

I found the solution, my idle and walking animations were custom animations with action priority. I fixed this by setting my walk animation to movement, and idle animation to idle priority. Turns out I had the wrong priority which caused animation bugs!
