How would i change default animations for different tools/weapons?

[karta333 (pro)]

I know that you can change the default animations with the animate script Roblox provides. But i don’t know how would i have different idle/walk when the character has a gun equipped instead of a knife?, Can someone give an example on how i would do this.

To create different default animations for different tools or weapons in Roblox, you’ll need to modify the Animate script that’s included in the character model. Here’s a step-by-step example to achieve this, allowing your character to have different idle and walk animations depending on whether they have a gun or a knife equipped.
here is an example for the script

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local animateScript = character:WaitForChild("Animate")

-- Animation IDs
local defaultIdleAnim = "rbxassetid://12345678" -- Default idle
local defaultWalkAnim = "rbxassetid://87654321" -- Default walk
local gunIdleAnim = "rbxassetid://23456789" -- Gun idle
local gunWalkAnim = "rbxassetid://98765432" -- Gun walk
local knifeIdleAnim = "rbxassetid://34567890" -- Knife idle
local knifeWalkAnim = "rbxassetid://09876543" -- Knife walk

-- Function to update animations
local function updateAnimations(toolName)
    if toolName == "Gun" then
        animateScript.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = gunIdleAnim
        animateScript.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = gunWalkAnim
    elseif toolName == "Knife" then
        animateScript.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = knifeIdleAnim
        animateScript.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = knifeWalkAnim
    else
        -- Reset to default animations
        animateScript.idle.Animation1.AnimationId = defaultIdleAnim
        animateScript.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = defaultWalkAnim
    end
end

-- Listen for tool equipped and unequipped
local function onToolEquipped(tool)
    if tool:IsA("Tool") then
        updateAnimations(tool.Name)
    end
end

local function onToolUnequipped()
    updateAnimations(nil) -- Reset to default animations
end

-- Connect to tool events
character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
    if child:IsA("Tool") then
        child.Equipped:Connect(function() onToolEquipped(child) end)
        child.Unequipped:Connect(onToolUnequipped)
    end
end)
