Animation not playing (sword)

[Remingling]

Hi, I have a module script that runs client for swords. I am having a issue where I can’t play an animation that is already loaded because it is “nil”.

At Client:M1, there is an error in: self.LoadingAnimations[attackString]:Play()

I also outputted self.LoadedAnimations in the method. Here is the output:

{
                    ["Attack1"] = Attack1,
                    ["Attack2"] = Attack2,
                    ["Attack3"] = Attack3,
                    ["Equip"] = Equip,
                    ["Idle"] = Idle
                 }

I can load equip but I can’t load the attacks…

Try this

function Client:M1()
	if self.Slashing then
		return
	end
	
	local attackString = "Attack"..tostring(self._combo)
	
	if tick() - self._lastClicked >= self.Settings["COMBO_RESET"] then
		self._combo = 1
	end
	
	self._lastClicked = tick() 
	
	self.Humanoid:SetAttribute("Slashing", true)
	
	self.LoadedAnimations[attackString]:Play() 
	
	PlaySound(self.Sounds["M1"],self.Root)
	
	task.wait(self.Settings["M1_COOLDOWN"])
	
	if self._combo < self.Settings.COMBOS then
		self._combo += 1
	else
		self._combo = 1
	end
	
	self.Humanoid:SetAttribute("Slashing", false)
end
