TroubleshootingAnimation Not Playing in Roblox
Checks when an animation exported or played from your workflow does not play in Studio or experience.
Verify the animation asset is published and loaded, the Animator/AnimationController exists on the rig, the AnimationId is correct, and priority/weight settings are not overridden by another track.
Open the animation asset in Creator Dashboard / Asset Manager. Ensure the AnimationId used in scripts matches a published animation your experience can load.
Expected: AnimationId resolves to a valid owned or permitted asset.
Humanoid characters need an Animator under Humanoid. Custom rigs need AnimationController/Animator wired correctly.
Expected: LoadAnimation succeeds without nil Animator errors.
If another track overrides yours, raise AnimationPriority or adjust weight. Core locomotion can hide lower-priority tracks.
Expected: Your track becomes visible in playback.
If preview works but runtime fails, the export/publish step or runtime loader is the gap — not the keyframes themselves.
Expected: You know whether the problem is authoring or runtime loading.
Last verified: Not yet version-verified — treat as general guidance.
