Hello rip_Zephyr I made my own tool animation local script!, I hope it works even though your animation thing is not working but maybe you can try this?

If it doesn’t work then I would suggest it being the animation itself because I tested it in game and it seems to work with me.

This script should clear out the events upon death and unequipping for memory leaking

Hope it works :smiley:


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

local EquipConnection, ActivateConnection, HumanoidConnection, UnequipConnection
local Character, Humanoid, Animator
local SwingAnimation

local function OnActivate()
	if not SwingAnimation or SwingAnimation.IsPlaying then return end SwingAnimation:Play()
end

local function OnUnequip()
	SwingAnimation:Stop(0)
	
	ActivateConnection:Disconnect() UnequipConnection:Disconnect() HumanoidConnection:Disconnect()
	SwingAnimation = nil UnequipConnection = nil HumanoidConnection = nil
end

local function OnDeath()
	EquipConnection:Disconnect()
	EquipConnection = nil
	OnUnequip()
end

local function OnEquip()
	Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	Animator = Humanoid.Animator

	SwingAnimation = Animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("SwingAnimation"))

	HumanoidConnection = Humanoid.Died:Connect(OnDeath)
	UnequipConnection = tool.Unequipped:Connect(OnUnequip)
	ActivateConnection = tool.Activated:Connect(OnActivate)
end

EquipConnection = tool.Equipped:Connect(OnEquip)
