Tool play animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local anim = script.Parent.Animation

script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
local animTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
animTrack:Play()  
print("Animation")
end)
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()

end)

This local script is in a tool. The tool also has an Animation in it which is called “Animation”. I do not know why it is not playing that animation once the player has the tool out. Can someone please help me?

Is it printing “Animation”? and you have your code so you have to left click so you are doing that right?

#3

yes, I am doing that. It is not working. Is there some better way to do it? Once I have the tool toggled it should play an animation.

#4

Well if you’re trying to play the animation on a left click you could use the Activated event instead of the mouse Button1Down event

#5

idk I saw on youtube and I used his script since it worked. My old script didn’t. Idk I’m confused.

#6

Are there any errors? Because it should work

#7

Try this if you want:

local anim = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animation")

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	local char = script.Parent.Parent
	
	char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim):Play()
	
	print("Animation")
end)
#8 
local tool = script.Parent
local anim = tool:WaitForChild("Animation") 
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") 
local loadanim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	
	loadanim:Play()
end)

This is in a local script right? It is not working.

#10

So no errors and it prints “Animation” when you left click, but the animation does not play? If so it might be a problem with the priority of the animation

#11

It prints nothing. It has no errors related to the script. Mybe the script doesn’t work since I have this animation saved under my username not group?

#12

Can you send a picture of the tool in the heirachy?

You need to at least have a part named “Handle” in there

U can set false. You don’t need it. Nvm it works. I forgot to set it to false. But the animation glitches. For example if you click out of it the animation doesn’t stop

#17

Well… can I see your code now? If it’s the same as the original one or the one I sent you it should at least print something when you left click with it equip

#18

i used mine. Let me try urs. Give me a second

#19

But the animation is broken. The one which I made doesn’t show in the animation once using the part

#20

Oh nevermind you dont need to do that I didn’t see your edit you just have to stop the animation when the tool is unequipped
