Hello there! My script doesn’t play animation when activated but it prints “endedwhat?” in end of animation event. Here is a script:

local tool = script.Parent
local animations = tool.Animations
local attackAnimation = animations.Attack
local db = false
local eventModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Events)
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local damage = tool:GetAttribute('Damage')
	local cooldown = tool:GetAttribute('Cooldown')
	local char = tool.Parent
	local handle = tool.Handle
	local hum = char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')
	if not handle then return end
	if not hum or hum.Health<=0 then return end
	if db then return end
	db=true
	local animator = hum:FindFirstChildOfClass('Animator')
	local attackAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(attackAnimation)
	local startedAttack=tick()
	attackAnim:Play()
	local hitList={}
	local touched = handle.Touched:Connect(function(part)
		local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')
		if not humanoid then return end
		if table.find(hitList,humanoid) then return end
		if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid) then
			eventModule.DamagePlayer(humanoid.Parent,damage)
		else
			humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
		end
		table.insert(hitList,humanoid)
	end)
	local attackEndedEvent
	attackEndedEvent = attackAnim.Stopped:Connect(function()
		touched:Disconnect()
		attackEndedEvent:Disconnect()
		print('endedwhat?')
	end)
	wait(startedAttack+cooldown-tick())
	--repeat wait() until startedAttack+cooldown<tick()
	db=false
end)

Do you made sure that the animation is published to Roblox and you are the one who published the animation? It doesn’t works if you get an animation from Toolbox for example and just use the AnimationId of this one, you have to publish it to Roblox first. To do this firstly right click the Animation and then click Save to Roblox, after that you can copy the Id of the Animation.

Animation I use has id of my animation.

I think you dont have to load the animation everytime when the tool is activated. Try putting the Load animation function before the tool.activated one.

I made function before main script:

tool.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()

local parent=tool.Parent

local hum = parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')

if not hum then return end

attackAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(attackAnimation)

attackAnim:Play()

end)

Because i want to make this tool droppable. But it doesnt work too. Also function animation.Ended fires in about 2 seconds what’s the length of animation.

You should reference these OUTSIDE of the tool.Activated function and see if it works:

local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

I’ve made this script

local tool = script.Parent

local animations = tool.Animations

local attackAnimation = animations.Attack

local db = false

local eventModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Events)

local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local attackAnim = hum:LoadAnimation(attackAnimation)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()

print(char,hum)

if not hum or hum.Health<=0 then return end

local startedAttack=tick()

attackAnim:Play()

print('played')

end)

But it doesn’t seem to work.
But if i unequip tool before playing animation,animation plays.

I found a answer. I need to set animation mode to movement.
