Hi!
I have made a sword with a Tool, and i want to make a equip Animation, but i cant seem to get it to work…
here is the script and how it looks:

The LocalScript:

local tool = script.Parent
local anim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local c = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Anims = {
	"rbxassetid://9496813134",-- Equip
	
}
local function equip()
	anim.AnimationId = Anims[1]
local load = c.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim):Play()
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(equip)

Any help would be appreciated!

Try edit your Animation Priority so it doesn’t affect other animations. I assume the problem is that your animation is glitching within other animations running in the character. It is suggested to make yours Action.

game hasn’t loaded yet, the character is nil, add repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded() on the top or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait(), whatever works best
plus animation must have animation priority set to movement or action just in case

You should load the animation into Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator").

Also remove the “,” inside your table as you only have one thing inside of it.

yes i have alredy set my AnimationPriority to Action and done the

game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

but still it doesnt want to work…

leave that aside for now, IamProtectingPeople should have the answer above you

#7

you shouldnt load same animations repeatedly i recommended storing them instead on a variable or even inside a table you cant exceeded more than 256 tracks

an organized one

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Tool = script.Parent
local Animation = script.Animation

local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local AnimationIds = {
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=656118852"
}

local Tracks = {}

for Index, AnimationId in pairs(AnimationIds) do -- converting all the animation ids to loaded animations or track
	Animation.AnimationId = AnimationId
	Tracks[Index] = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
	local CurrentTrack = Tracks[Index]
	CurrentTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action -- Highest Priority
end

local function OnEquipped() -- plays only the first track arranged base on the animation ids
	Tracks[1]:Play()
end

local function OnUnequipped() -- on this function it will stop all the stored tracks when the tool is unequipped as the event triggers it
	for _, Track in pairs(Tracks) do
		if Track.IsPlaying then
			Track:Stop()
		end
	end
end

Tool.Equipped:Connect(OnEquipped)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(OnUnequipped)
