How to do damage with part and animate player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I basically have a knife part (not a Tool) welded onto a Player’s hand. And in their StarterPlayerScript, I have a script like this:

character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(thing)
	if thing.Name == "Knife_001" then
		local animator = character.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator");
		local Anim = Instance.new("Animation")
		Anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2515090838"
		
		local track = animator:LoadAnimation(Anim);
		
		UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
			if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
				print("TEST");
				track:Play()
			end
		end)
	end
end)

The animation ID isn’t a knife slash, but I wanted to put something in there to see if it would work, but it didn’t animate the player. It prints “TEST” so I know that the connection works.

How do I make it so that “Knife_001” does damage when it hits a player and force an animation when the player presses left click?

You didn’t set the animation’s parent
