Hello everyone, I need help by creating an code which plays an animation with items, I already got a script which plays the animation but the items/tools are not in it.


ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(plr) -- gets the player
	local hum = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") -- gets the player's humanoid
	local loadAnim = hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim) -- loads animation

	loadAnim:Play() -- plays the animation
end)```

I already searched after it and i did not found anything, I would appreciate for a response.

Here is an video with what I mean: https://streamable.com/43lj2w?src=player-page-share

Check if there is a tool in the character

for _, tool in hum.Parent do
        if tool and tool:IsA("Tool") then
        --play anim
   end
end

You’ll have to weld the items to the player’s hands via a script. Since there’s an item on each hand, should make 2 welds. The script i made below will weld the items to players when they join

-- put this script in ServerScriptService
local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.item:Clone() -- put your item here
local item2 = game.ReplicatedStorage.item2:Clone() -- put your item here

function CreateWeld(character)
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld", character) 
	local weld2 = Instance.new("Weld", character)
	-- put items inside players so they become visible
	item.Parent = character
	item2.Parent = character
	
	-- attaching weld to the hands
	weld.Part0 = character.RightHand
	weld.Part1 = item
	weld2.Part0 = character.LeftHand
	weld2.Part1 = item2
	-- You'll probably also have to adjust the weld's C0 and C1 to match the item's correct position too
	weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0,1,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),0)
	weld.C1 = CFrame.new(1,0,0) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(45))
end

-- attach items to player hands when they join
game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		CreateWeld(character)
	end)
end)

One last note is if the item is a model that contains multiple parts, you’ll have weld all parts to a “main” part then weld that part to the hands

I put the meshes in ReplicatedStorage and the script in ServerScriptService but the items are still not visible

My bad, I forgot to put the items inside workspace so they become visible. I reedited the code, it should work now!

shouldnt you just place them inside character
