Animations not working when tool in ServerStorage

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi!

Basically, when I put the tool in Workspace the animations work, however when I put it in StarterPack or ServerStorage and give it to myself it does not work.

Script:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local anims = {script.Parent.Hold, script.Parent.Swing}
local loadedAnims = {}
local tool = script.Parent
local animator
local debounce = true
local del = 2

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Handle.Transparency = 1
end)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse) --On tool equipped do:
	animator = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator") --Find the animator object
	if not loadedAnims[1] then --If the animation wasn't loaded before
		loadedAnims[1] = animator:LoadAnimation(anims[1]) --Load it
	end
	loadedAnims[1]:Play()	--Play it
	
end)

--Click animation:
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if(debounce) then --Setting up the debounce (cooldown)
		debounce = false
		animator = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator") --Find the animator object
		if(not loadedAnims[2]) then --If the animation didn't exist yet
			loadedAnims[2] = animator:LoadAnimation(anims[2]) --Load it
		end
		loadedAnims[2]:Play() --Play it
		
		wait(del) --Wait the cooldown
		debounce = true
	end
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	loadedAnims[1]:Stop() 
	if(loadedAnims[2]) then 
		loadedAnims[2]:Stop()
	end
end)

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

How would I modify the localscript to work as a server side script?

#4

ill suggest using remote event or remote functions and if you want to understand it ill fix this to give you an example

#5

well also move the tool to replicated storage because like i told you local script wont work

#6

If it is not too rude to ask, how are you going to fix it?

#10

Using a bit of remote events and remote functions im working on it but one thing puzzles me

#11

Alright, is there any way I can know when it can be fixed?

#12

umm about an hour or 30 minutes depending on how broken it will be because im still having some trouble

#13

@Falcon_Aviator is this yours or did you take it out of the toolbox? cause why this?

tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
-- you dont need that if your not gonna set it or use that arg in any case in that function
#14

It was from an old devforum post, why?

#15

old devforum post do you still have the link is it deleted

#16

That’s weird ! Did the same thing for me aswell ! I put a weapon, months ago, in the ReplicatedStorage and the animation won’t work ! (I took many weapons from the toolbox and I tried and would not work with them.) Sorry for the useless reply but I want to told you that you are not the only one who met this problem.

#17

likely because FE or an error with the animation code

#18

The post was deleted for being in the wrong category, but is there any present fix?

#19

yes there is ill give you the fix in a second

#20

Sounds great, thanks again for this.
