# Animation

Animation : `Instance`

## Overview

The animation Object references an animation's Asset Id

For AnimationTrack to replicate correctly, an animator must be a child of a humanoid. Animations started on a player's client are automatically replicated to the server and other clients.

## Properties

### AnimationId

`string`

Sets the Asset Id of the animation referenced by the Animation Object.

The Asset Id is generated when the animation is imported.

#### Code Samples

```lua
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

repeat wait() until LocalPlayer.Character

local Character = LocalPlayer.Character
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = "ovdrassetid://18850100" -- WinAnimation01

local Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
local AnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)

AnimationTrack:Play()
```
