What…?

If your Avatar Type is R6 in the game, and you have R15 Animations already set up, you have to set the Avatar Type to R15 so that the script knows what type of Animation it’s exactly playing to the Character

Although playing R6 on R15 Animations may work, it’ll only play in separate to the HumanoidRootPart and Head parts I’m assuming

I mean some animations work with R6 and another work with R15.

#16

Still you shouldn’t rely on R6 animations to play on R15, it’ll result extremely weird

Try doing this maybe?

local Tool = script.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    local Character = Tool.Parent
    local Animate = Character:WaitForChild("Animate", 3)

    Animate.toolnone.Value = ""
    Animate.idle.Value = "rbxassetid://6731665268"
    Animate.walk.Value = "rbxassetid://6731703941"
 
end)

maybe this?:

sword.Equipped:Connect(function()
	humanoid = sword.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	description = humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
	local descriptionClone = description:Clone()
	descriptionClone.IdleAnimation = "rbxassetid://6731665268"
	descriptionClone.WalkAnimation = "rbxassetid://6731703941"
	humanoid:ApplyDescription(descriptionClone)
end)

Are you still working with R15 Characters and animations?

Yes, I am. I switched from R6 after you said that some animations only work with R15 characters. I ain’t any expert tho I just changed to R15.

#25

Weird, my only assumption is that the Animate script could potentially be overriding your other scripts? You could try and replace those with your Animations that you want when certain tools are activated, but I’m not sure how you would go about doing it

Especially if you’re wanting to change the Idle/Walk animations

Although another way you could try is using Motor6D’s, but I’m not sure how well that would work out

i think its because you’re saying the character is ‘backpack’ or something?

so it has to be sword.Parent.Parent?

ok, no, that is not the case.

#27

Nah

When the Equipped event is fired, the Character variable would be referring to the (script > Tool > Character)

I believe you could look at how Motor6D’s work and how you can use them in animations?
