Animation doesn't run when equipping sword

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have worked on this for several days, and I have no idea what to do (also scattered the whole dev hub).

I have an animation that changes the default run animation when equipping a sword (The sword isn’t a tool, it’s a part that sticks to the players hand).

Problem: When I run with the default animation and change to my sword it still does the default animation, and not the new one.

This is the code:

local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("ChangeRunAnimation")
local SwordInHand = false

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player.character:FindFirstChild("Buster Sword") and not SwordInHand then
		local humanoid = Player.character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		local runAnimation = "rbxassetid://12861501821"
		local animateScript = Player.character:WaitForChild("Animate")
		animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = runAnimation
		
		SwordInHand = true
	else if not Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Buster Sword") and SwordInHand then
			local humanoid = Player.character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			local DefaultAnimation = "rbxassetid://507777826"
			local animateScript = Player.character:WaitForChild("Animate")
			animateScript.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = DefaultAnimation
			SwordInHand = false
		end
	end
end)

Are you receiving any errors in the output?
Have you made sure that you placed the right animation Id’s for the run and default animations? And have you confirmed that the given code runs? There doesn’t seem to be any issue with this script, though, you do have the c lowercased for the player’s character.
There may be an issue with the LocalScript that fires the ChangeRunAnimation event, or possibly the Animate script.

try also setting the walk anim to the same as you run anim. If that doesn’t work try checking what animation priority the animation is because if it’s movement then that should work and it needs to be looped.

#4

There is no error outputs, also the AnimateScript is just the default roblox animation folder directory. Also the local script that fires the event just fires this script when the user presses e (equips the weapon)

#5

priority is set to movement = looped

#6

What is the difference in the walk animation and the run animation ?

if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
				wait(0.2)
				for _, track in pairs(animationTracks) do
					track:Stop()
				end
				local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", workspace.FX)
				Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://507777826"  -- Default running animation Id     
				local animationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
				animationTrack:Play()
				while animationTrack.IsPlaying do
					if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0 then
						animationTrack:Stop()
					end
					wait()
				end
			end

This is the code I added to make the script work :3
