Step 3: Script the Animation

1. Insert a Script: Inside your NPC model, right-click and select Insert Object > Script.
2. Write the Script: Use the following code to load and play the animation:

local AnimationId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_ANIMATION_ID" -- Replace with your Animation ID
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = AnimationId
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") -- Get the Humanoid
local animationTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation) -- Load the animation
animationTrack.Looped = true -- Set to true if you want it to loop
animationTrack:Play() -- Play the animation

3. Test Your NPC: Click the Play button in Roblox Studio to see your NPC perform the animation.

Additional Tips

• Animation Settings: Ensure that your animation is set to loop if you want continuous movement. You can adjust this in the Animation Editor before publishing.
• Debugging: If the animation does not play, check that the Animation ID is correct and that the script is placed correctly within the NPC model.
