if humanoid then
local animation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Initial pose"))

end

Oh I understand, so it should be like this, but how could I make this happen only when the tool is activated and not before?
-- Play animation when the tool is added
local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
local animationInstance = Instance.new("Animation")
animationInstance.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://15735655906" -- Replace with your actual Animation Id
local animation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animationInstance)
animation:Play()
end
equipped = false
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
equipped = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
equipped = false
end)
if equipped == true and --[[whatever your other statements are]] then
animation:Play()
end)
heres a little prototype. if i understand correctly you want it to play when example you click and the tool is equipped right? unless if you want the animation to play as soon as you equip the tool:
I tried to play the animation when the tool is activated and deactivated but it is not working for me
-- Play animation when the tool is added
local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
local animationInstance = Instance.new("Animation")
animationInstance.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://15735715919" -- Replace with your actual Animation Id
local animation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animationInstance)
-- Check if the tool is activated
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
animation:Play()
print("playing animation")
end)
-- Stop animation if the tool is deactivated
tool.Deactivated:Connect(function()
animation:Stop()
print("animation stopped")
end)
end
The animation it has to play isn’t the one that is in the “AnimSaves” model when you animate something, when you go in the animation editor and click on the three dots, you can actually click on “Publish to Roblox” in order to get the animation id to insert in an Animation instance, which is what you have to play
One tip I should give is, since you’re doing an animation for a tool, is to click on the 3 dots again in the animation editor, and set the animation priority to “Action”
Also, to play an animation it’s very easy, here’s a quick way to do it:
What the local script could look like (it's simple, really)
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
script.Parent.EquipRemote:FireServer(true) -- Fires true, since the player has it equipped
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
script.Parent.EquipRemote:FireServer(false) -- Fires false, since the player no longer has it equipped
end)
Server script (also not that hard)
function playAnim(player,anim)
local character = player.Character
if character then
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim):Play()
end
end
end
script.Parent.EquipRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,statement)
if statement == true then
playAnim(player,script.Parent.EquipAnim) -- The animation is ALWAYS an instance and NEVER an animation Id
else
playAnim(player,script.Parent.UnequipAnim) -- The animation is ALWAYS an instance and NEVER an animation Id
end
end)
Hopefully this helps! (also don’t delete the animation that’s in the tool, put it in an “AnimSaves” model inside a rig)
