I believe it might be because on the local script I use tool.equipped and tool.unequipped differently than on the server script, but I know animations replicate to server automatically. So it might not be the issue.
Hmm, make sure to disconnect your connections, similar problems to this other post.
Even unequipped the local script should still be running in your backpack and hence still be listening to input connections.
Like so:
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
connection = uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,processed)
end)
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
track.Looped = false
track:Stop()
if connection then
connection :Disconnect()
connection = nil
end
end)
Also recommend CAS context action service, as you donât have to deal with connections just binding and unbinding of action names stuff.

You shouldnât have the animation played on both the server and the client. The client has control over their own characterâs physics, so any animation played on the clientâs character will be replicated to other clients. You should only be loading the animation in the local script instead of both the local script and the server script.
Also, you should use ContextActionService like @dthecoolest mentioned, as it is easier to work with and versatile than having a bunch of event connections. Ideally, with ContextActionService, you should be able to set up a main framework for reacting to client input in a single local script and then have different modules for each tool.
I never worked with CAS, so thatâs why I didnt use it here. Never really understood the tutorial on it on the hub. What does it do? / contribute?
Instead of 2 connections, you can have 1 CAS binding since the keycode is the same left shift.
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,processed)
if processed then return end
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 25
track = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Return.Running)
track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle
track.Looped = true
track:Play()
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
track.Looped = false
track:Stop()
end
end)
CAS handles it all in one function, code
local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
if actionName == "Sprint" then
if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 25
track = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Return.Running)
track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle
track.Looped = true
track:Play()
end
if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
track.Looped = false
track:Stop()
end
end
end
--You can also stuff as many keybinds as you want with more commas
ContextActionService:BindAction("Sprint", handleAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift, Enum.KeyCode.L)
--keybinds as a table
local someKeybinds = {Enum1, Enum2, Enum3}
ContextActionService:BindAction("Sprint", handleAction, true, table.unpack(someKeybinds))
For unbinding with CAS:
--Unbind it
ContextActionService:UnbindAction("Sprint")
Comparison for unbinding with inputservices
--vs with input service
inputBegan:Disconnect()
inputEnded:Disconnect()

Doesnt seem to work
This is what happening now-
The animation only plays when the gun is equipped, but the speed[sprint] is still on when I unequip the gun.
video:
Tho, itâs a nice service
debounces and animations better to use on client
change paths to the wanted
Client
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait() and Player.Character
local Humanoid= Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local fire = script:WaitForChild('fire')
local Tool = script.Parent
------------------ Animations ---------------------
local Animations = {
["Run"] = {
Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement,
Animation = script.Run,
Looped = true
},
["Idle"] = {
Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle,
Animation = script.Idle,
Looped = true
},
["Attack"] = {
Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action,
Animation = script.Attack,
Looped = false
},
}
for Name, Value in pairs(Animations) do
local Track = Animator:LoadAnimation(Value.Animation)
Track.Priority = Value.Priority
Track.Looped = Value.Looped
Animations[Name] = Track
end
--------------------------------------------------
local Equipped = false
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
Animations.Attack:Play()
fire:FireServer(Mouse.Target)
end)
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
Animations.Idle:Play()
Equipped = true
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
Animations.Idle:Stop()
Equipped = false
end)
--------------------------------------------------
local KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local Debounce = false
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,processed)
if processed or not Equipped then return end
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
if not Debounce then
Debounce = not Debounce
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25
Animations.Run:Play()
repeat RS.Heartbeat:Wait()
until not UIS:IsKeyDown(KeyCode)
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
Animations.Run:Stop()
task.wait(0.5)
Debounce = not Debounce
end
end
end)
Server
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local Conf = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Configuration")
local fire = script.Parent:WaitForChild("fire")
local Tool = script.Parent.Parent
fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
local num = math.random(1, 2)
if num == 1 then
Conf.Hit:Play()
else
Conf.Hit2:Play()
end
end)
Nice, tho the remote event is essential there.
[for the raycasting and hitting part]
Whoops, thanks for catching on to that.
Just set the speed back to normal on unequip.
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
ContextActionService:UnbindAction("Sprint")
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
track.Looped = false
track:Stop()
end)

Oh, works really neat. So basically this service is useful when we want to execute multiple/different animations/actions at once?
Tho, what is this part, say we had 3 keys, A,B,C in that table, what would that do?
It would function the same for those keys as well.
Table.unpack just seperates the values via comma needed for the CAS function to work (lua âtuplesâ)
-Assign Multiple keycodes to one specific action
-Mobile support button (not that good)
-Bind and unbind easily
-Debug F9 list the keycodes easily

Worth noting that if the âLâ and/or âLeft Shiftâ key(s) is/are held before the action is bound and released after the binding the bound action will be triggered but the âtrackâ upvalue will still point to nil.
This can be remedied with an âif track thenâ beforehand.
