Do you have the tool variable set if so then try to print the tool variable at the bottom with

Print(tool)

#55

You can try using Luminia. It is mainly for particles, but you can use meshes. I’m not an animator though, I just think you should know about this resource

#56

i set the tool variable just now, now there arent any errors but for some reason the animation wont play ive imported it and everything

#57

Try to put a print in line with activation to see if it reaches there like this

Ok!

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent
local EquipConnection, ActivateConnection, HumanoidConnection, UnequipConnection
local Character, Humanoid, Animator
local SwingAnimation

local function OnActivate()
	print("Works up to line 8")
	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)

0.36666667461395264 - Client - LocalScript:8

It works

#68

Alright then we have the animation loaded!, now is this animation R15 or R6?

#69

r15 cuz r15 is pro for animations r6 is just undetailed

#70

Is the game itself R15 rigtype with an r15? character

#71

yes, i move like r15 and game settings shows my game is enabled at r15

#72

Then maybe just straight up play it without the conditions cause it does work for me flawlessly.
