Tool animation breaks the walk/run animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made a tool animation for the flashlight and there is custom animations but if I equip the tool the animations glitch and the flashlight moves with the arm when running instead of staying up like the animation is supposed to do

Most likely has something to do with the animations priority.

Information here:

the flashlight animation priority is action and I tried action2 but that also didn’t work

do you mind sending your code?

#5 
local tool = script.Parent
local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=10938319864"
local track
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    track = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
    track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
    track.Looped = true
    track:Play()
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    if track then
        track:Stop()
    end
end)
#6 
local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=10938319864"
anim.Parent = script.Parent.Parent
local track = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action2
track.Looped = true

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	track:Play()
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	track:Stop()
end)

try using this, simplifying the code a bit.

also, Humanoid:LoadAnimation is deprecated! Switch over to using Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation

To explain your issue you were loading and subsequently playing a new animation track instance each time the tool’s ‘Equipped’ event/signal was fired.
