Hello there,

Maybe your script is not working because the the “humanoid” isnt actually the humanoid. If the gear is in starter pack it will spawn in the backpack so you should instead get the character first, then use that to access the humanoid

One other thing COULD be how you are getting your animation. Roblox documentations are very helpful for this

Id love to help with additional questions and hope this helps you

If it is a local script. Just do this

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

local character = plr.Character
local Humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

local katana = script.Parent
katana.Equipped:Connect(function()
      if Humanoid.WalkSpeed >= then
         Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator"):LoadAnimation(katana.Run):Play()
      end
end)

Is a server script so I need to find out how would I fix this in a normal server script but thank you for that local script method

#5

Once i get on a PC again i can help you out better

But for now you can get the character with

local character = Katana.Parent

local humanoid = if character then character:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”) else nil

#6

Also be sure to check the roblox docs on animations, it helped me a lot in the past

#7

Isn’t script.parent.parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) the same thing?

#8

Try using a remote event

When the tool is equipped fire the event and do all that.

Well the tool is actually in the backpack so that could be why its not working

#10

But when you equip the item won’t it go out of the backpack?

#11

You’re right, this could work too

#12

Right, but the parent still wouldnt be the humanoid, its the character itself

#13

But I been doing the same method with my idle server script and my slash server script

#14

Hmmm, my guess is its something to do with the animation then

#15

like the Animaton priority?
You mean?

#16

No, i mean it could be to do with the script actually playing the animation. You need to get the animator from the humanoid

Check the roblox docs on animations, it should help

#17

To save you some headache, get your humanoid inside your equipped variable:

local katana = script.Parent

katana.Equipped:Connect(function()
    local humanoid = katana.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    
    if humanoid ~= nil then
        local anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(katana.Run)
        anim:Play()

        katana.Unequipped:Once(function()
            anim:Stop()
            anim:Destroy()
        end)
    end
end)

If I done this with local script would other player see the animation to?

#19

No, keep it on the server side for sure

#20

This kinda work but when I unequip the Run animation is still running
