Custom Walking Animation When Tool Equipped

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello devs,

I wanted to make a walking animation when you equip a tool.
How can I do that?

Here is a picture of my tool:

I already made it so when you equip it, you have custom Idle Animation, but I wanted to also make a Walking Animation when you equip it.

Any help is appreciated.

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local animation = tool:WaitForChild("Animation") --place animation instance inside tool (change name if needed)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local character = tool.Parent
	local humanoid = tool:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
	anim:Play()
	anim.Looped = true
end)

Yes, I set it so that the custom one plays on a loop when the tool is equipped.

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local animation = tool:WaitForChild("Animation") --place animation instance inside tool (change name if needed)
local anim

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local character = tool.Parent
	local humanoid = tool:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
	anim:Play()
	anim.Looped = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	anim:Stop()
end)

This will stop it when the tool is unequipped, from there you’re welcome to add in support for other animations to be played.

Okay the Idle Animation works again now but for some reason the walk animation is still not playing. Maye because I used Roblox’s Knight Animation? Do I have to make my own?

I’m not familiar with that animation but I’m guessing you have to be moving below a certain walkspeed for it to trigger otherwise the standard running animation will play.

Didn’t work :frowning_face: Thanks for the help tho, I’ll try to make it work and I’ll contact you here if I did

Set your WalkSpeed to 5 or something small and try walking around.

#9

Okay i’ll try doing that right now

#10

Nope, still doesn’t work unfortunately

#11

I’d recommend creating a new thread, perhaps someone else might be more familiar with that animation package.

From what I recall walking animations should play when the walkspeed is low but that might not be the same for custom animations.

I tried everything, I tried setting my walkspeed to a low number, I tried doing it with my own animation or Roblox’s animation

It doesn’t play it

#13

The custom and idle that you wanted to play when the tool is equipped/unequipped is working though right?

#14

No, i don’t know why. I even copied your code

#15

I thought you mentioned here that it was working.

#16

Yeah the Idle works but not the Walk

#17

The animation doesn’t change when I move with the tool

#18

Just to let you know the code I’ve been providing are examples, they won’t work if directly copied & pasted and will need modifying to work.
