Making an Animation start playing help

[froggyguy709 (frog)]

I’m using a script that makes it so when the player enters water holding out the floaty tool it makes them glide on the water in the floaty. My main issue though is having an animation of the player sitting in the floaty be used instead of them in a state of falling. I’ve tried running an animation during the Equipped function, but none of the tries have worked. Here’s the code.

local tool = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local function printHumanoidState()
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoid = character and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid or not character then return end

	print("Current humanoid state: ", humanoid:GetState())
end

local function onEquipped()
	print("Tool has been equipped.")
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoid = character and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid or not character then return end

	if humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Swimming then
		print("Player is swimming.")
		local bodyPosition = Instance.new("BodyPosition")
		bodyPosition.Position = character.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
		bodyPosition.Parent = character.HumanoidRootPart

		local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		bodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
		bodyVelocity.Parent = character.HumanoidRootPart

	end

	local function isTouchingWater()
		local character = player.Character
		local humanoid = character and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if not humanoid or not character then return false end

		if humanoid.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Water then
			return true
		else
			return false
		end
	end

	if isTouchingWater() then
		humanoid:SetStateEnabled("Swimming", true)
	end
end



local function onUnequipped()
	print("Tool has been unequipped.")
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
		if character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("BodyPosition") then
			character.HumanoidRootPart.BodyPosition:Destroy()
		end
		if character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("BodyVelocity") then
			character.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

local function swimno()
	script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):SetStateEnabled("Swimming", false)
end

local function swimyes()
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):SetStateEnabled("Swimming", true)
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
tool.Equipped:Connect(swimno)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(onUnequipped)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(swimyes)

while wait(1) do
	printHumanoidState()
end

Also, I’ve set the priority of the sit animation as idle.

Have you used Enum.HumanoidStateType.Seated?

doesn’t this only work when the player is in a seat though?
