Is this script a server script or a local script?

It would need to be done on the ServerSide, as anything that’s being represented on the ServerSide, will be replicated to others. (Most of the time)

So in your case, you need to use a Script.

Animations being done on player’s characters should be done in LocalScripts, however. But animations being done on NPCs should be done in Scripts. So actually, OP needs a LocalScript.

Example: The Animate script in the player’s character is a LocalScript, since it’s animating the player’s character.

Indeed, I just thought about that. Thank You for that! :slight_smile:

Are you sure it’s not stopped on the ServerSide?

yes i am sure because when i checked it on server screen he still was playing the animation
and animation:Stop() was in script not in local in ServerScriptStorage

When you say “he” , is it referencing an NPC or a Regular Player?
