Play is not a valid member of Animation "Animation"

I am trying to make it so if you Activate the tool it plays an animation but I get an error saying:Play is not a valid member of Animation “Animation”. I don’t know what to do. Here is my code:

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Activated:Connect(function()

local Anim = Instance.new("Animation")

Anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=6852622094"

Anim:Play()

end)

Animation objects do not have a Play() function, that’s only referenced inside the Animator:LoadAnimation()/Humanoid:LoadAnimation()

And you never exactly loaded the animation, you have to reference either the Character’s Humanoid or Animator object (Preferably the Animator)

Try this:

local tool = script.Parent

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    local Character = tool.Parent
    local Anim = Instance.new("Animation")
    Anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=6852622094"

    local LoadAnim = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(Anim)
    LoadAnim:Play()
end)
