Does anyone know how to make it so when a tool is a equipped the players idle and run animation are changed and when the player unequips the tool they go back to their normal animation?
You should search the devforum for existing solutions next time

RunAnim was the old name of the Animation as of my knowledge, it’s currently named “run”
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.run.run.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=507784897" --Default swimming animation
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Animate.run.run.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=507767714" --Default running animation
end)
Oh, I thought you were using R15 my apologies. The animation is named RunAnim like you’ve used before on R6.
Is the owner of the experience same with the owner of the animation?
its a group game, and im the owner of the group and i put the animation id under the group n
Changing the animation ID’s of the default animations isn’t enough, unfortunately. You’ll need to do something like this instead:
local Players = game:GetService("Players") -- This is the recommended way of getting a service
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local tool = script.Parent
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- There's a chance that this script will run before the player's...
-- ...character has loaded, so we'll need to do this to safely get the character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local connection = nil
local idle, run
local function CreateAnimationTrack(animationId, looped)
assert(typeof(animationId) == "number", 'CreateAnimationTrack Error: "animationId" must be a number value!')
assert(typeof(looped) == "boolean", 'CreateAnimationTrack Error: "looped" must be a boolean value!')
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..animationId
local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
animationTrack.Looped = looped
animationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action -- Make sure that the AnimationTrack's priority is higher than the one used...
-- ...by the default script
return animationTrack
end
local function OnPostSimulation()
if humanoid.MoveDirection == Vector3.zero then -- If the player isn't moving
if idle.IsPlaying then return end -- The idle animation is already playing, so no need to do anything
run:Stop()
idle:Play()
else -- If the player is moving
if run.IsPlaying then return end
idle:Stop()
run:Play()
end
end
local function OnEquipped()
if connection then return end -- Do not create a connection if one already exists!
connection = RunService.PostSimulation:Connect(OnPostSimulation)
end
local function OnUnequipped()
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
-- Revert back to the default animations once the tool is unequipped, by making sure that the animations have stopped
if idle.IsPlaying then idle:Stop() end
if run.IsPlaying then run:Stop() end
end
end
-- I used the Swim and SwimIdle animations for testing
-- Don't forget to use the animation ID's of your animations instead!
idle = CreateAnimationTrack(913389285, true)
run = CreateAnimationTrack(913384386, true)
tool.Equipped:Connect(OnEquipped)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(OnUnequipped)

Well actually, it is, but only when the animate script refreshes the animation via a state change.
Changing the humanoid state to Landed on the client should do the trick.
The “best” solution would probably be to copy the animate script and make it listen to changed signals.

This script should work (hopefully at least)
-- Services --
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- Constants --
local LOCALPLAYER = Players.LocalPlayer
local TOOL = script.Parent
-- Other variables --
local animate: BaseScript?, humanoid: Humanoid?
TOOL.Equipped:Connect(function()
local character = LOCALPLAYER.Character
if not character then
return
end
animate = character:FindFirstChild("Animate")
if not animate then
return
end
animate.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://ANIMATIONID"
animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://ANIMATIONID"
humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed)
end
end)
TOOL.Unequipped:Connect(function()
animate.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=180426354"
animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=180426354"
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed)
end)
