Animation not playing. Debugging works and no errors

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello. I am making a fighting game and I am currently stuck on a problem. The problem is that my sword animation wont run even if I dont get any errors. The debugging/printing works but nothing happeneds. The code is in a localscript which is inside the handle of my sword tool. This is the code:


-- DEBOUNCE & INSTANCE

local tool = script.Parent.Parent

local swordDebounce = false

-- PLAYER

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()

local Humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local swordSlash = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(player.PlayerGui.Animations["Sword Slash"])

local rightarm = char["Right Arm"]

local handle6d = Instance.new("Motor6D", rightarm)

handle6d.Name = "Handle"

-- MAIN

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

handle6d.Part0 = rightarm

handle6d.Part1 = script.Parent

end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()

handle6d.Part0 = nil

handle6d.Part1 = nil

end)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()

swordDebounce = true

swordSlash.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

print("Animation should play")

swordSlash:Play()

wait(swordSlash.Length + 1.5)

swordDebounce = false

end)

And as you can see in the following picture, it prints:

try reimporting the animation into roblox studio animation editor (default), and then before you export it again, find animation priority and make sure it’s on action.

Did that and the problem remains the same.

DUDE, i just founded the solution, at least for me, i was playing my gun animation on a Local Script instead of a Script, and since my gun is not parented to my Character, it doesn’t work. what i’ll do is Make it so when i try to animate the gun, i fire that information to the server and the server plays the animation. Check it out to see if that isn’t your case aswell.
