Script stops working when tool reequipped

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So i have a script which makes the animation play when theres “GunFiredM4A1” Printed Out.
or “ReloadM4A1”
When i reequip the tool (Destroyng the vmodel and taking it back to camera) the script stops working.

Heres the code of it (localscript it starterplayerscripts)

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LogService = game:GetService("LogService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local function setupViewModel()
	-- Destroy existing viewmodel if it exists
	if workspace.CurrentCamera:FindFirstChild("ViewModel") then
		workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewModel:Destroy()
	end

	-- Clone the viewmodel from ReplicatedStorage
	local viewmodel = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ViewModel"):Clone()
	viewmodel.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera

	-- Get the Animator
	local animator = viewmodel:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")

	-- Load the animations
	local Ranimation = Instance.new("Animation")
	Ranimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://70861748308924" -- Replace with your animation ID
	local RanimationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(Ranimation)
	local REanimation = Instance.new("Animation")
	REanimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://107805906963968" -- Replace with your animation ID
	local REanimationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(REanimation)

	-- Function to play the animations
	local function RecoilAnimation()
		RanimationTrack:Play()
	end
	local function ReloadAnimation()
		REanimationTrack:Play()
	end

	-- Connect the log messages to the animations
	LogService.MessageOut:Connect(function(message, messageType)
		if message == "GunFiredM4A1" then
			RecoilAnimation()
		elseif message == "ReloadM4A1" then
			ReloadAnimation()
		end
	end)
end

Hope yall can help!

That’s probably due to the previous connection to LogService.MessageOut is lost, to fix it you should call setupViewModel() everytime the tool is equipped.

the full script is on the topic. I understand that i put everything into a function and call it when the tool is equipped?

Yes, call it whenever the equipped event is fired.
