hey so i am working on animations for the tools in my game and for some reason sometimes when you join the game the animations wont load and you cant use any tools until you reset your character. here is my current script:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local animations
if hum then
	local animator = hum:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
	if animator then
		animations = {{"AxeSwing",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.AxeSwing)};
		{"AxeSwingHigh",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.AxeSwingHigh)};
		{"PickaxeSwing",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.PickaxeSwing)};
		{"PickaxeSwingHigh",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.PickaxeSwingHigh)};
		}
	end
end
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
	wait(1)
	local hum = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if hum then
		local animator = hum:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
		if animator then
			animations={
				{"AxeSwing",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.AxeSwing)};
				{"AxeSwingHigh",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.AxeSwingHigh)};
				{"PickaxeSwing",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.PickaxeSwing)};
				{"PickaxeSwingHigh",animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.PickaxeSwingHigh)};
			}
		end
	end
end)

So its after you reset the tools are useable?

yeah they start working once you reset

Did you try using :WaitForChild(“animation instance here”) for every animation? The script may have loaded animations too fast before they could even load.
