So…
Im creating a animated tool with a inspection animation when you press a key or double-click on the screen if the client is on mobile.
Problem:
If the ‘Inspect Animation’ is playing while the player unequips the tool, the tool doesn’t reset the animation properly and stays in the last position it was in before being unequipped.
Video of the problem:
Maybe you have some questions:
-
Does the tool have a handle or not? - No, the tool doesn’t have a handle.
-
What did you use for detection for the tool in the character? - I used “ChildAdded” and “ChildRemoved”.
-
Do you connect the tool and the arm with a Motor6D? - Yes.
-
Why did you used a The Mimic lantern? - Because that’s a base for the lantern (Basically, a lantern testing) (Model taken from the toolbox).
More details:
I tried to detect the Tool in the character with “ChildAdded” and verify if the Child Is a Tool. If is a tool, the Custom tool animation starts. Now, that Child actives the “Inspect System” (Basically, a system that play a animation with the tool with a “New Grip” (Motor6D)). So, when the player unequipped the tool while the Inspect Animation is playing, idk why but the Motors6D of the Lantern (or tool) doesn’t reset and stays in the last position it was in before being unequipped.

Conclusion
Pls help me with this system. Did I do something wrong? idk lol
