Alright, so I made an animation that makes the player jump and slash, and my question here is, how can I make the sword stay straight in the players hand?

Here is the video.
Edit:
Here is t he sword script.
-Note this script isn’t mine.

   Tool = script.Paren
   Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

	return function(data)
		local obj = Instance.new(ty)
		for k, v in pairs(data) do
			if type(k) == 'number' then
				v.Parent = obj
			else
				obj[k] = v
			end
		end
		return obj
	end

You should add the code to your post so we can help you.

Alright, I’ll make an edit :slight_smile:

Do you mean to hold it straight down? If so, this might help you:

#5

If you’re talking about how the sword points straight out from the player’s hand, a quick and simple fix would be to change the value for Grips.Out to the same as Grips.Up. You can do this by adding Grips.Out = Grips.Up underneath where the table Grips is defined or by copying and pasting the value for Up to Out.
