Here is the video (for others)

for me

The code

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local anim = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Equip")
local EquipAnim = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(anim)
local tool = script.Parent

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	EquipAnim:Play()
	print("Anim played")
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	EquipAnim:Stop()
	print("Anim stopped")
end)

Animation only runs client sided and no one can see it [SOLVED]

Oof

The animation is only being played locally (Or on your side), which is why you’re only able to see it others cannot

It is actually possible to fix this by changing your script to a Server Script instead & defining the Character using script.Parent.Parent & doing a bit of global/local variables:

local Tool = script.Parent
local Anim = Tool:WaitForChild("Equip")
local Character
local Animator
local EquipAnim

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    Character = Tool.Parent
    Animator = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")
    EquipAnim = Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim)

    print("Anim played")
    EquipAnim:Play()
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    print("Anim stopped")
    EquipAnim:Stop()
end)

Since Tool.Unequipped will parent the Tool to the Player’s Backpack, we can instead reference the Character using Tool.Equipped using global variables inside our Events

Script

local Tool = script.Parent
local Anim = Tool:WaitForChild("Equip")
local Character
local Animator
local EquipAnim

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Character = Tool.Parent
	Animator = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")
	EquipAnim = Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim)

	print("Anim played")
	EquipAnim:Play()
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	print("Anim stopped")
	EquipAnim:Stop()
end)

Is the animation owned by you & did you publish it? I believe it won’t work if you’re using a different one made by someone else

#6

Yes the animation is made by me
https://www.roblox.com/library/6700014029/EquipAnimV4
Its just not on sale

#7

It’s a place you made individually and not a group game that was made by a group, right…?

#8

No its a team create with my friend not a group or anything

#9

Ok but I still don’t know what place it is

Is it a place you made or a place that your friend made?

#10

He made the place
https://www.roblox.com/games/6687027803/Upcoming-RPG-Game?refPageId=4710828d-f744-48d6-a260-b9e217a0ef9e

#11

Yeah that explains it

If your friend owns the place, you won’t be able to play the animation ingame so you need to ask your friend to publish the animation instead for it to work

How could I give him the animation to publish it?

#13

You could save the file that you made the animation from, then send it to him using the Animaton Editor & publish it that way

I believe as long as you’re the owner of the animation in the place that you made, it should work

#14

I used moon animator will that effect anything?

#15

I don’t know how Moon Animator works but I’m assuming as long as you are able to save the file, you & your friend both have access to it & can publish it through the Animator, you should be fine I believe?
