  1. What do you want to achieve? A simple drink with an animation

  2. What is the issue? the animation isn’t working

here’s the code:

local Tool = script.Parent
local Anim = Tool.Animation

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local Character = Tool.Parent
	local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
	
	local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
	AnimationTrack:Play()
end)

SOME BACKGROUND INFO:

it’s for a cafe game and there’s multiple parts to the coffee, plus there’s a coffee making system so it starts off a regular cup and when you hold it over the sensor (coffee maker) the coffee part’s transparency is set to 0.

I don’t usually deal with animations, what I would recommend though, is that you check for spelling, and capitalization errors.

#3

Check whether or not the character is anchored, welded or another animation is playing over with a higher priority. Also, make sure the Rig is compatible.

#4

First off you need the animation Id. After that then you input it into the code like this:

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()

	local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')

	Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://--Your Id Goes here'

	PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)

	PlayAnim:Play()

end

Edit: Put this in a local script inside StarterCharacterScripts Lemme know what happened @hopeshusbvnd I’m curios. Wait a minute this might not work gimme a sec.

@hopeshusbvnd There is no Id above. Ids are usually 10 digits long.

Here for the final time this WILL work:

local Tool = script.Parent
local Animation = --toolname goes here .Animation
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()

local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
local Character = Tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://--ID goes here'
AnimationTrack:Play()

end)
Also add a animation inside your tool click the animation the click the animation value then put the animation in their and your done.

Have you set your animation priority to action? If not, it will not work.
