Animation not working properly until player is close

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to make a player carry a box and when they equip the tool the animation plays fine on the client but not for anyone else on the server.
This is what I have,

local Player = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player")

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Anim = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
	local Motor = Instance.new("Motor6D",Player.Character.Torso)
	Motor.Part0 = Player.Character.Torso
	Motor.Part1 = script.Parent.fakebox
	Motor.Name = "fakebox"
	Anim:Play()
	
	Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 11
	Player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if Player.Character.Torso:FindFirstChild("fakebox") then
		Player.Character.Torso.fakebox:Destroy()
	end
	Anim:Stop()
	
	Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	Player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end)

What my problem is, is that for other players the arms work fine on the animation just the box is not in its correct place. Example being:

Also the video is being dumb so just download it, its a mp4 file so I don’t know the issue.
I haven’t figured out what the issue could be, any solutions?

Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated.
Instead, use Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation().

Still not the issue, the animation starts to work perfectly fine when you touch the other player. This could just be a Roblox problem.

#4

can you provide another video then? the one you uploaded is broken even when I download it

Did you atleast try this at all?

Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated.
Instead, use Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation() .

I’m not sure as to why the animation is broken, but yeah it could possibly be on roblox’s end because of how buggy tools are

Yea I added it and still the same issue, its gotta be Roblox.

Try adding a pre-made Motor6D in the fakebox so the server is the one creating the Motor6D.

You could also set the fakebox network owner to the player using :SetNetworkOwner(player).

This happens to me too. I don’t know why it’s not working.

I FOUND A FIX, more of a bandaid fix. (Its not perfect)
Basically what I did was I took the part from my tool and put it into ReplicatedStorage and then I clone it to the tool when the player equips it and I also set the NetworkOwner of the part to the player.
Basically what this does is when you first equip it, its broken. After you unequip and equip again, it works fine for the rest of the game. I had multiple boxes so each one would break on the first equip then go back to normal.
My second fix was to wait(0.05) after the player equips the tool THEN set the Part0 & Part1 of the Motor6D to the player. I’m guessing you cannot set Part0&1 for a short amount of time after the player equips the tool. Here is my code:

local Player = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player")
local RPS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local fakebox = RPS:WaitForChild("fakebox"):Clone()
	fakebox.Parent = script.Parent
	fakebox:SetNetworkOwner(Player)
	
	Anim = Player.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
	Anim:Play()
	
	Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 11
	Player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
	
	wait(0.05)
	
	script.fakebox.Parent = Player.Character.Torso
	Player.Character.Torso.fakebox.Part0 = Player.Character.Torso
	Player.Character.Torso.fakebox.Part1 = script.Parent.fakebox
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if Player.Character.Torso:FindFirstChild("fakebox") then
		script.Parent.fakebox:Destroy()
		Player.Character.Torso.fakebox.Parent = script
		script.fakebox.Part0 = nil
		script.fakebox.Part1 = nil
	end
	Anim:Stop()
	
	Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	Player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 50
end)

Like I said its more of a bandaid fix. If you spam all the boxes the box wont even show up because of the wait(), but at least I got it so its not broken on the first equip. I’ll just have to wait till I find a better fix. Here’s the game:
