Make a tool play an animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a script that when a player equips a tool it increases their speed and makes an animation play. So far I was able to increase the player’s speed when they equip it. This is what the tool looks like:

With that in mind, this is what I want it to look like:

Here is the script I made, but I couldn’t get it to play the animation, and stop it when they are no longer equipping it:

local p = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = p.Character or p.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local defaultSpeed = hum.WalkSpeed
local customSpeed = 00 

local Tool = script.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
hum.WalkSpeed = customSpeed
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
hum.WalkSpeed = defaultSpeed
end)

If you could help me out, please do. Thanks.

to stop it, do anim:Stop() inside of the script.

What @FruitySama said is correct, but assuming that you will be using this animation only if the character is underwater, you will need to use humanoid:GetStatus() to check if the status is Swimming.

hum:LoadAnimation(anim) Could I just enter the id of the animation where “anim” is?

#7

here is a script that should fit your needs (not counting underwater you’ll have to do that yourself.):

local tool = script.Parent
local Anim = Instance.new("Animation")
Anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"
local track
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	track = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
	track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
	track.Looped = false
	track:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if track then
		track:Stop()
	end
end)

Is it possible to make a player r15 when the animation plays?

#9

sorry, I have no idea. But you can change the avatar inside of game settings.

You can make two different animations (an r15 and r6) and play one of those animations depending on if the local player is using r6 or r15. Personally, I would just force players to use r15 in game settings as it’s far less work.
