I’m working on a script right now, I’ve already got the animations.
I just am trying to of course have them play by clicking on left mouse.but I’m wondering how I’d make the anim play in response to pressing on m1

You should use UserInputService.

I don’t understand the question, is the problem the keybind or the animation?

Well, you have the player pressing down on the LMB being detected already from what I’ve gathered, so from there it is very simple.

First you need to make sure your animation is an actual “Animation” instance, from there all you need to use is Humanoid:LoadAnimation in order to prepare the animation, then play it accordingly.

Example:

local Animation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(--[[animation instance]])

Animation:Play()

Let’s use UserInputService over GetMouse since I find it more adaptable that way.

First, insert a local script into StarterGui like so:

Now the coding begins, let’s first fetch UserInputService, and connect a function to InputBegan. All that we’re doing is listening for when the player makes an input of ANY kind.

local userinput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

userinput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)

end)

Now let’s sort out game processed events (whatever those may be) to avoid an overabundance of inputs being checked further:

local userinput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

userinput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
	
	end
end)

Then, we need to make sure that the input.UserInputState is an Enum.UserInputState.Begin, otherwise whenever a player clicks the left mouse button the function will fire twice.

local userinput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

userinput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.UserInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then

		end
	end
end)

Finally we can round it all off by verifying that input.UserInputType is an Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2

local userinput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

userinput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.UserInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
			if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
				print("Left Click!")
			end
		end
	end
end)
