		local Holding = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Animations.Holding)

The rest of the script is where the animation is played
when the player press a key but it doesn’t load for some reasons

also bot end and end) are down of the script so it can read the animations

try loading the animation into the animator inside the humanoid instead of the humanoid itself

What exactly do you mean by it won’t load? I don’t see a reason for it to not load.

My bad i forgot to mention that this is a client script and when the server script fires the client with the player who fired it the client will load the animation but it won’t load it for somereasons

I updated a part of the script here it is:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Selected.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player , Clone)
	
	local Animations =Player:WaitForChild("Shield1"):FindFirstChild("Animations") or Player:WaitForChild("Shield"):FindFirstChild("Animations")
		local Block = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations.Blocking)
		local Punch3 = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations.Punch3)
		local punch2 = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations.Punch2)
		local EquipAnimation = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations.Equip)
		local UnEquipAnimation = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations.Unequip)
		local Punch1 = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations.punch1)
		local Holding = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations.Holding)

I didn’t copy the rest so it be easier to read also it now gives me a new error

Infinite yield possible on 'Players.wolfmanOs:WaitForChild(“Shield1”)

Your code probably is being infinitely yielded by :WaitForChild() just use :FindFirstChild instead and check if Shield1 or Shield exists first.

Now it gives me this

Workspace.wolfmanOs.Shield_Client:54: attempt to index nil with ‘FindFirstChild’ - Client - Shield_Client:54

You would have to check if those instances exist first then check for the animation folder. Also make sure you’re referencing the right thing or that it’s under the player object.

Let me see where you’re putting you animations in the explorer because if it’s still erroring or yielding you’re either referencing the wrong thing or it doesn’t exist.

You’re trying to get the shields from the player object you need to get it from the character instead. Just replace Player with Player.Character should fix your issue.

I forgot to mention since you’re using a local script the remote events do not pass player variables so delete that and redefine player as game.Players.LocalPlayer
