Problems with an animation that contains a tool

The character is not holding the tool in the animation.

flashlight animation

This is the animation.
As you can see the character is holding a flashlight in their hand.

flashlight animation2

I exported the animation and tried using it in another ROBLOX Studio place.
As you may see here the character is not holding the flashlight.
Did I do something wrong during the export or import?

Parts dont get inserted with animation, try welding the tool onto ur hand with an script

#3

The problem might be the fact that I really can’t script. I wanted to test the animations for a game, but I guess I have to ask the one who is scripting it. Thought I could do it on my own.

#4

Or can you maybe try to show me on how do it?

#5

local tool = script.Parent
local animation = Instance.new(“Animation”)
animation.Name = “Idle”
animation.AnimationId = “rbxassetid://0” – paste in ur id here
local track

tool.Equipped:Connect(function() – detects if tool is equipped
track = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) – loads the animation into the player
track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement – sets the animation priority to movement
track.Looped = true – sets the animation on looped
track:Play() – plays the animation
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function() – detects if the tool is unequipped
if track then
track:Stop()
end
end)

This script will make the animation play on idle (put it in ur tool as local script)

#6

Well you see this is a model not a tool.

#7

Oh, maybe you can make it into a tool cause thats easier

#8

How do I do it? Do I just put it in like it is a group like this?

example

#9

Give handle uppercase H and put all these meshes into the handle, Ungroup it and weld all these meshes onto the Handle (Position the meshes correcly too)

#10
