How would you make this animation play on click?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This animation does not play when clicked, but “I was clicked” is still in the output.

local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Sword = script.Parent

Sword.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("I was clicked")
	local Animation = Sword.SwordAnimation
	local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
	AnimationTrack:Play()
end)
#2

Try loading the Animation before the Click

#3

Im assuming the sword is a tool so i could set the character to the sword parent

also use math.huge probably because of loading issues

local Sword = script.Parent
local Character = Sword.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid", math.huge)
local Animation = Sword:WaitForChild("SwordAnimation", math.huge)
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)

Sword.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("I was clicked")

	AnimationTrack:Play()
end)
#4

There is no output when I click with the tool.

#5

Does the animation track exists? Open the explorer bar and search it in your character.

#6

Would the track be the actual Animation Name in the Players Tab?
This is all I can really find.

Instance the animation, example

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local TorsoRot = Instance.new("Animation")
TorsoRot.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://11641202131"
local PlayTorsoRot = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(TorsoRot)

Instead of

local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid", math.huge)
local Animation = Sword:WaitForChild("SwordAnimation", math.huge)
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)

(2nd reply sorry had to)

Or 2nd alternative

-- Variables
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Sword = script.Parent
local Character = Sword.Parent

-- Manually Create The Animation
local SwordAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
SwordAnim .AnimationId = "rbxassetid://youridhere"
local PlaySword = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(SwordAnim)

--  OnActivated
local function onActivated()
	print("I was clicked")

	local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
	PlaySword:Play()
end

Sword.Activated:Connect(onActivated)

Ok, I edited your code a bit to fix some errors, and it actually does play the animation, however the holding animation for every item seems to overwrite it. Would there be a way to overwrite that animation?

#10

Elaborate a little bit please

Re-read it, sorry… you can :Stop the holding animation in the script & re-play it when the PlaySword animation stopped

local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
local Sword = script.Parent

Sword.Activated:Connect(function()
print(“I was clicked”)
local Animation = Sword.SwordAnimation
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
AnimationTrack:Play()
end)

]]

local LocalPlayer = game:GetService(“Players”).LocalPlayer
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
local Sword = script.Parent

local function OnClicked()
print(“I was clicked”)
local Animation = Sword.SwordAnimation
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
AnimationTrack:Play()
end

Sword.Activated:Connect(OnClicked)
