How to make sprinting animation not effect arms when player has Tool Equipped?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi! I am currently working on a melee system with the FE Melee Kit model. However, I ran into an issue. I have a sprinting system in the game. When I sprint with a Melee weapon equipped, it glitches out the arms (video) which I do not want. Is there anyway to make the running animation not effect the arms ONLY when a tool is equipped?

Thanks

Could you send the script that handles the sprinting animation?

Of course.

You can look into this forum post, but you need to load the animations on the Animator instead of the Humanoid for it to work. Plus, loading animations in Humanoids is deprecated in the first place.

The animation priority for the sprint should be movement, while the tool animation should be action.
