How can I make this a tool?

[Patatje_0073]

print("I exist")

local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local events = rs:WaitForChild("Events")
local hitboxEvent = events:WaitForChild("Hitbox")

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = hum:WaitForChild("Animator")

local leftPunch = animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("LeftPunch"))
local rightPunch = animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("RightPunch"))

local currentPunch = 0
local lastPunch = 0

local debounce = false

local function punch()
	print("punched")
	if debounce then return end
	if tick() - lastPunch > 5 then
		currentPunch = 0
	end

	debounce = true
	if currentPunch == 0 then
		rightPunch:Play()
		hitboxEvent:FireServer(Vector3.new(3,3,3), Vector3.new(2), 10, 0.3)
		task.wait(0.6)
		debounce = false
	elseif currentPunch == 1 then
		leftPunch:Play()
		hitboxEvent:FireServer(Vector3.new(3,3,3), Vector3.new(2), 10, 0.3)
		task.wait(0.6)
		debounce = false
	elseif currentPunch == 2 then
		rightPunch:Play()
		hitboxEvent:FireServer(Vector3.new(3,3,3), Vector3.new(2), 10, 0.3)
		task.wait(0.8)
		debounce = false
	end
	if currentPunch == 2 then
		currentPunch = 0
	else
		currentPunch += 1
	end
	lastPunch = tick()
end

function onEquipped()
	print("equip")
	cas:BindAction("Punch", punch, true, Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)
end

function Unequipped()
	print("unequip")
	cas:UnbindAction("Punch")
end

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(Unequipped)

[Patatje_0073]

maybe some other people can help if they see this post

[gabriel405]

When you do script.Parent.Equ… does the word Equipped auto fill when you are typing it?

[Patatje_0073]

what do you mean? what is auto fill?

[gabriel405]

[Patatje_0073]

yes

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(Unequipped)

[Patatje_0073]

Update: after the player dies or resets this pops up in the output:

  10:36:27.261  I exist  -  Client - LocalScript:1
  10:37:01.918  I exist  -  Client - LocalScript:1
  10:37:01.966  Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider Service.  -  Client - LocalScript:14
  10:37:01.967  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  10:37:01.967  Script 'Players.Player2.Backpack.Punch.LocalScript', Line 14  -  Studio - LocalScript:14
  10:37:01.967  Stack End  -  Studio

[gabriel405]

What’s line 14? Just send that line.

I’m assuming it’s

local leftPunch = animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("LeftPunch"))

[TimeFrenzied (typesoulenjoyer)]

Delete the ContextActionService:BindAction line. Move the script into a tool, and replace it with
tool.Activated:Connect(Punch)

You no longer need actionnane or inputstate / their checks you did not do this so your fine. Just do the above

[Patatje_0073]

can it still be a local script for tool.Activated?

[CrystalCHK (Jaime)]

Yes, your localscript can access every event of it’s parented tool so doing it on a localscript is deal for obvious reasons.
Roblox Documentation: Tool | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

However, about the animation issue. I’ve noticed a lot of other developers have been experiencing that issue aswell, so I believe your code is correct and it’s Roblox’s fault.

Error - Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider service

Basically, I’m creating the animation locally by using table values and then using it to play on a ViewportFrame’s dummy locally. However, although this worked before, it now shows this: for category,value in pairs(Animations) do if category == Subcategory then for name,ID in pairs(value) do local AnimID = string.gsub(ID["ID"], "%D", "") local button = ReplicatedStorage.Extras.AnimButton:Clone() button.Name = ID["Name"] local PreviewAnim = Instance.new("Animation") Prev…

Cannot load animationclipprovider service

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() local wavebutton = script.Parent.Parent.Play local stop = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Stop local anim = game.ReplicatedStorage.Animations.Celebrations.Animation wavebutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator") local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim) track.Looped = false track…

Cannot load the AnimationClipProvider service

A tool that I made always errors whenever I die, so if the tool is unequipped it errors cannot load animationclipprovider service, same thing if it’s equipped, why? Here is a localscript local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() local RaycastHitbox = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.RaycastHitboxV4) local Hitbox = RaycastHitbox.new(script.Parent.Model.Hitbox) local Params = RaycastParams.new() Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {char} Params.…

I believe there is nothing you can do about it but wait until it’s fixed.

[Patatje_0073]

So it should be working when that bug is fixed by roblox?

(i also added the tool.Activated)

[CrystalCHK (Jaime)]

I assume so. But I don’t know if they will fix or not.

[TimeFrenzied (typesoulenjoyer)]

Yes. Do what I said and it should work perfectly.

[SulfurPhosphorus (Sulfur)]

Dammit, well I’ll eat grass if they do, this AnimationClipService thing has been up for months, truly annoying :I

[TimeFrenzied (typesoulenjoyer)]

I know a fix to that. If you’re checking for
plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

just use plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() alone

kind of hacky but itll work (ish) better

[Patatje_0073]

this is my script now but it still doesnt work (the animatin bug doesnt appear anymore)

print("I exist")

local cas = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local events = rs:WaitForChild("Events")
local hitboxEvent = events:WaitForChild("Hitbox")

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = hum:WaitForChild("Animator")

local leftPunch = animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("LeftPunch"))
local rightPunch = animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("RightPunch"))

local currentPunch = 0
local lastPunch = 0

local debounce = false

local function punch()
	print("punched")
	if debounce then return end
	if tick() - lastPunch > 5 then
		currentPunch = 0
	end

	debounce = true
	if currentPunch == 0 then
		rightPunch:Play()
		hitboxEvent:FireServer(Vector3.new(3,3,3), Vector3.new(2), 10, 0.3)
		task.wait(0.6)
		debounce = false
	elseif currentPunch == 1 then
		leftPunch:Play()
		hitboxEvent:FireServer(Vector3.new(3,3,3), Vector3.new(2), 10, 0.3)
		task.wait(0.6)
		debounce = false
	elseif currentPunch == 2 then
		rightPunch:Play()
		hitboxEvent:FireServer(Vector3.new(3,3,3), Vector3.new(2), 10, 0.3)
		task.wait(0.8)
		debounce = false
	end
	if currentPunch == 2 then
		currentPunch = 0
	else
		currentPunch += 1
	end
	lastPunch = tick()
end

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(punch)

Turn off RequiresHandle in your tool.
