I’m making a custom animation module, basically a stripped down version of roblox’s default Animate script and modularised, with a few extra features such as detecting signals within the animation. While testing, I’ve noticed that the animtable property turns to nil at some point, and I’m not sure why. I have a function inside the util module required which prints the table and the animtable is correctly loaded. However, all my errors come from accessing the animtable to actually play the animations. Any help would be appreciated.
