Help on making a ball dribble

Hi there, so I’m making a basketball (tool). They way it works is when you equip it, it plays the dribble animation and when you left-click, it shoots the ball and reaches the hoop. The problem I’m having is with the dribble animation, I want the ball to actually dribble up and down. I tried animating it, using a Motor6D for the ball so that i can be connected to the torso and the ball, but that failed too. Please give me some suggestions/tips on how I can accomplish my goal. Thank you!

using a tween to make the ball go up and down relative to the player’s hand that is controlling the ball

hmm, yea never thought of that. Ill try it!
