Any way to bypass these animation shenanigans?

So I have a roblox sword, reanimated by me, sort of.

This silly box restricts me from making one of the goofiest animations in roblox history and I really don’t know how to bypass it.

The animation does play, yes, but it squishes itself into my character a bit to ensure the sword doesn’t stick its neck outside of the box.

Yes, priorities are correct, Action4 is the priority.

The sword code is modified, not sure if it’s needed, but here it is anyway:

Tool = script.Parent
Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

function Create(ty)
	return function(data)
		local obj = Instance.new(ty)
		for k, v in pairs(data) do
			if type(k) == 'number' then
				v.Parent = obj
			else
				obj[k] = v
			end
		end
		return obj
	end
end

local BaseUrl = "rbxassetid://"

Players = game:GetService("Players")
Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

DamageValues = {
	BaseDamage = 5,
	SlashDamage = 10,
	LungeDamage = 30
}

--For R15 avatars

	R15Slash = 522635514,
	R15Lunge = 522638767,
	R6Slash = 14301278492,
	R6Lunge = 522638767, 
}

Damage = DamageValues.BaseDamage

	Slash = Handle:WaitForChild("SwordSlash"),
	Lunge = Handle:WaitForChild("SwordLunge"),
	Unsheath = Handle:WaitForChild("Unsheath")
}

function IsTeamMate(Player1, Player2)
	return (Player1 and Player2 and not Player1.Neutral and not Player2.Neutral and Player1.TeamColor == Player2.TeamColor)
end

function TagHumanoid(humanoid, player)
	local Creator_Tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	Creator_Tag.Name = "creator"
	Creator_Tag.Value = player
	Debris:AddItem(Creator_Tag, 2)
	Creator_Tag.Parent = humanoid
end

function UntagHumanoid(humanoid)
	for i, v in pairs(humanoid:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("ObjectValue") and v.Name == "creator" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

	end
end

Tool.Activated:Connect(Activated)
Tool.Equipped:Connect(Equipped)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(Unequipped)

prepare()
Connection = Handle.Touched:Connect(Blow)

please do know that the code WASN’T modified by me, it was modifed by a friend of mine, however that still shouldn’t necessarily stop me from understanding the code.

My main question is:
Is there a way to expand the box or to code something into the script to stop following orders from the box??

I made this script that deattaches the arm from the character, which then you can use however you want, including having the arm outside the silly box. It works by cloning the player’s arm and then making the player’s arm invisible. The only problem is that it works server-side only, so the code will not work in your sword script. You could use remote events or perhaps someone smarter than me can make my code work on the client.

function deattachArm(char)
	local armParts = {"RightHand","RightUpperArm","RightLowerArm"}
	-- dear future me: DO NOT kill me rn
	
	char.Archivable = true -- otherwise won't clone
	local clone = char:Clone()
	char.Archivable = false
	
	-- create arm
	clone.Name = "Arm"
	for _,bodyPart in clone:GetChildren() do
		if table.find(armParts,bodyPart.Name) then
			bodyPart.CanCollide = true
		elseif not bodyPart:IsA("Tool") then
			bodyPart:Destroy()
		end
	end
	clone.Parent = workspace
	
	-- invis original
	for _,partName in armParts do
		char[partName].Transparency = 1
	end
	char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Handle.Transparency = 1
	
	return clone
end

function attachArm(char,arm)
	local armParts = {"RightHand","RightUpperArm","RightLowerArm"}
	for _,partName in armParts do
		char[partName].Transparency = 0
	end
	char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Handle.Transparency = 0
end

Usage:

local armModel = deattachArm(player.Character)
wait(5)
attachArm(player.Character,armModel)
