Sword Sheath Problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello.

I’m attempting to make a clean sheath with my katana. However, the katana looks extremely strange when I run the animation to sheathe it.

Here are my scripts:


Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Action)
	local Character = Player.Character
	local Hum = Character.Humanoid
	
	if Action == "Equipped" then
		local equipAnim
		equipAnim = Hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Unsheathe)
		equipAnim:Play()
		equipAnim:GetMarkerReachedSignal("Sword"):Connect(function()
			local Sword = Character:FindFirstChild("Katana")
			if Sword then
				local SideWeld = Sword:FindFirstChild("SideWeld")
				if SideWeld then
					SideWeld:Destroy()
					local Weld = Instance.new("ManualWeld", Sword)
					Weld.Name = "HandWeld"
					Weld.Part0 = Sword.PrimaryPart
					Weld.Part1 = Character:FindFirstChild("RHand")
					Weld.C0 = Weld.Part0.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(Weld.Part1.CFrame)
				end
			end
		end)	
	end
	
	if Action == "Unequipped" then
		local Sword = Character:FindFirstChild("Katana")
		local unequipAnim
		unequipAnim = Hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(game.ReplicatedStorage.Sheathe)
		local Weld = Sword:FindFirstChild("HandWeld")
		unequipAnim:Play()
	
		
		unequipAnim:GetMarkerReachedSignal("Teleport"):Connect(function()
			if Sword then
				if Weld then
					Weld:Destroy()
					local SideWeld = Instance.new("ManualWeld", Sword)
					SideWeld.Name = "SideWeld"
					local Case = Character:FindFirstChild("Case")
					SideWeld.Part0 = Sword.PrimaryPart
					SideWeld.Part1 = Case.Case.Sheath.Base
					SideWeld.C0 = CFrame.new(2.865,0,.18)
					Event:FireClient(Player)
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end)

That was the script that runs the animation and equips/unequips the sword.

Where did I go wrong?

Recommend using Motor6D so you can actually animate the sword itself.

There is a forum called How to animate Tool Parts (Guns, Knifes etc.) that should help you with your problem.
