How do i make it so that if a player equips a tool their fists go up like they are ready to punch? Does it involve animations? Thanks! :smiley:

yes it does! just animate an idle animation for whenever the player equips the tool (may be better to make it looped) and make the animation stop when they un-equip the tool

I see!!! So like I change their animation id? Or is there a way to like start a animation while its active because I know if you change their id they have to stop and start again for it to activate.

something like

local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
Track:Play(0)
5

Or what is the code? XD sorry Iā€™ve jsut never made a punch tool before!

You can use

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function())
-- Code 
End)

to detect when the player equips the tool
and

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function())
-- Code 
End)

if you want to detect when they unequip it

As for the animationsā€¦

First you want to make your animation (Ignore steps 1,2 if you already made the instance manually)

1 - make your animation instance
Anim = instance.new(ā€œAnimationā€)

2 - Apply the animation ID
Anim.AnimationId = ā€“ Your id

(Remember to also set a Parent for the animation!)

3 - Get the animator, it should be within the humanoid of the player, make sure to use WaitForChild or FindFirstChild depending on your case

Animator - Humanoid:FindFirstChild(ā€œAnimatorā€)

4 - Load the animation
PunchIdle = Animator:LoadAnimation(ā€œAnimā€)

5 - play the animation
PunchIdle:Play()

Result: https://gyazo.com/336185c8cd362f11a6cb4881179e9830

Script:

tool = script.Parent.Parent
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local char = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
	local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	
	--making the anim
	local Anim = Instance.new("Animation",char)
	Anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7346783493"
	
	local Animator = hum:FindFirstChild("Animator")
	local PunchIdle = Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim)
	PunchIdle.Looped = true

	PunchIdle:Play()
	
	tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
		PunchIdle:Stop()
		Anim:Destroy()
	end)
end)

(Itā€™s better to learn off it, use the script as an example for the things i told you)
hope this helped :wink:

How do you get the feet to like walk with the animation btw? :smiley:

13

nvm i got it :smiley: !!! Its working GREAT!!! THANK YOU :smiley:

if you want the legs to move normally, then donā€™t animate the legs in the animaton (in my idle animation i animated them when the player stands still so they should still move normally when people walk)
