Making Tool Idle come back when you stop walking

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

With the help of dev forums and my own knowledge I have this script that will equip entire different animations when you hold a tool, when making this I noticed that when you stop walking you the idle for the sword won’t come back, instead it just gives regular animations. Is there a way for me to check if the player stopped walking, then check if there still holding the tool and make it select my idle? here is my code


local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("StoppedWalking")

remoteEvent:FireServer()

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local h = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Idle = Instance.new("Animation")

Idle.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7241020438"

local animIdle = h:LoadAnimation(Idle)

animIdle.Looped = true

animIdle.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle

local Equip = Instance.new("Animation")

Equip.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7245238821"

local animEquip = h:LoadAnimation(Equip)

animEquip.Looped = true

animEquip.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

local DesEquip = Instance.new("Animation")

DesEquip.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://023032023"

local animDesEquip = h:LoadAnimation(DesEquip)

animDesEquip.Looped = true

animDesEquip.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

local ChangeKey = Instance.new("Animation")

ChangeKey.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://023032023"

local animChgKey = h:LoadAnimation(ChangeKey)

animChgKey.Looped = true

animChgKey.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

-------------------------------------------------

local Mouse = plr:GetMouse()

local Tool = script.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

animEquip:Play()

wait(0.2)

animEquip:Stop()

animIdle:Play()

end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()

animDesEquip:Play()

animDesEquip:Stop()

animIdle:Stop()

end)

h.Running:Connect(function(speed)

if speed > 0 then

animIdle:Stop()

end

end)

It would be much simpler and easier to just set Humanoid.WalkSpeed to 0 when the tool is equipped.

Can you show a video of it happening??

Good point but doesn’t he want the player to be able to move while having the tool out?

#5

I know what you’re saying. But in the end the result is the same. You walk, you can’t equip the tool… You don’t walk, you can use it happily.

#6

For some reason, it will not load.

#7

you can still use the tool, it just doesn’t have the SWORDS animations but puts my REGULAR animations

I have something for you here:

game.Workspace.Player.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
    if speed > 0 then
        print("Player is running")
    else
        print("Player has stopped")
    end
end)

How would I direct it to the player? because game.Workspace.Player doesn’t work

#10

That was an example…

You can refer to a player with game.Players.LocalPlayer if your using a LocalScript or game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player) from any script.

#11

Ok so this should work, in your case I saw that you use a LocalScript.

local Char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Char.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
    if speed > 0 then
        print("Player is running")
    else
        print("Player has stopped")
    end
end)

This works, but how would I make it so it only brings back the idle if holding the sword
