You need to load the animations.

how would i do so exactly? is there certain code i need for it?

Handcuff Example

RegisterNetEvent("Handcuff")
AddEventHandler("Handcuff", function()
	local lPed = GetPlayerPed(-1)
	if DoesEntityExist(lPed) then
		if IsEntityPlayingAnim(lPed, "mp_arresting", "idle", 3) then
			ClearPedSecondaryTask(lPed)
			SetEnableHandcuffs(lPed, false)
			SetCurrentPedWeapon(lPed, GetHashKey("WEAPON_UNARMED"), true)
		else
			RequestAnimDict("mp_arresting")
			while not HasAnimDictLoaded("mp_arresting") do
				Citizen.Wait(100)
			end

			TaskPlayAnim(lPed, "mp_arresting", "idle", 8.0, -8, -1, 49, 0, 0, 0, 0)
			SetEnableHandcuffs(lPed, true)
			SetCurrentPedWeapon(lPed, GetHashKey("WEAPON_UNARMED"), true)
		end
	end
end)

I think you need to use RequestAnimDict.

Edit: @xander1998 beat me to it lol

7

Only if the dictionary isn’t already requested.

8

so would i need to do it to this one?

AddEventHandler('playEmote', function(name)
	if emotes[name] then
		ped = GetPlayerPed(-1);	
		if ped then
			if playing_emote == false then
				if emotes[name].name == "sitchair" then
					pos = GetEntityCoords(ped);
					head = GetEntityHeading(ped);
					TaskStartScenarioAtPosition(ped, emotes[name].anim, pos['x'], pos['y'], pos['z'] - 1, head, 0, 0, false);
				else
					TaskStartScenarioInPlace(ped, emotes[name].anim, 0, true);
				end
				playing_emote = true;

			end
		end
	end
end)

and it also wont display the emotes if i type /emotes
