“If an Animator is a descendant of a Humanoid or AnimationController in a Player’s Character then animations started on that Player’s client will be replicated to the server and other clients.” Taken directly from the roblox API on animations

alr how do i do that???

I have a place which overrides my default load animation, I made the animation which the tool connected to the right arm as a Motor6D. When The Equip runs I’d connect the M6D thru a remote event and Break the M6D when the tool gets unequipped,

The Server script could look something like this

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEventsFolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents")
local Init_M6D = RemoteEventsFolder:WaitForChild("Init_M6D")
local Destroy_M6D = RemoteEventsFolder:WaitForChild("Destroy_M6D")

local function Init(player)
	
	local char = player.Character
	local a = char:FindFirstChild("Right Arm"):WaitForChild("RightGrip")
	local m6d = Instance.new("Motor6D")
	m6d.Parent = char:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
	m6d.Name = "RightGrip"
	m6d.Part0 = a.Part0
	m6d.Part1 = a.Part1
	m6d.C0 = a.C0
	m6d.C1 = a.C1
	a:Destroy()
	return m6d
	
end

Init_M6D.OnServerInvoke = Init

Destroy_M6D.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, M6D)
	
	M6D:Destroy()
	
end)

And the client could look somthing like this

--Init
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEventsFolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Animator  = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator")
local Tool = script.Parent
local Equip_1 = script:WaitForChild("Equip_1")
local Equip_2 = script:WaitForChild("Equip_2")
local Slash_1 = script:WaitForChild("Slash_1")
Equip_1 = Animator:LoadAnimation(Equip_1)
Equip_2 = Animator:LoadAnimation(Equip_2)
Slash_1 = Animator:LoadAnimation(Slash_1)
local Init_M6D = RemoteEventsFolder:WaitForChild("Init_M6D")
local Destroy_M6D = RemoteEventsFolder:WaitForChild("Destroy_M6D")
local M6D

--Main?

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	
	M6D = Init_M6D:InvokeServer()
	Equip_1:Play()
	Equip_2:Play()
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function(mouse)
	
	Equip_2:Stop()
	Destroy_M6D:FireServer(M6D)
	
end)

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	Slash_1:Play()
end)

If it still does not work, There might be something wrong with your animation, I suggest following this tutorial: How to animate tools (the easiest and best way) (for melees)

Also, to add on, The initialization (Init) of the M6D in the server script is connect thru a remote function, not to remote event. I’ve done this to return the specific M6D to destroy it later on.

#41

Is the game your animation is in owned by anyone other than you? (I.e. a group or friend/ colleague) This is the most common issue for animations not playing.

#42

I made the animation in my baseplate in my studio by myself so yeah i think its mine

#43

I cant even test the scripts my studio isnt working

#44

I am unable to access studio currently to demonstrate(roblox is having some server troubles it seems) this video should show you: How to remove Tool Holding Animation - Roblox Scripting Tutorial - YouTube

I got !
You need to publish your animation and create an animation in your script and put the ID into and after remove in the animate script the animation “toolnone” !
I hope that was helpful ! :wink:

#50

I dont really understand this could you be a little clearer

#51

The animation needs to be owned by you to work. Even a free modeled animation cannot be used, unless re-uploaded by you!

You need to do this :

  1. Go into your animation and publish it !
  2. Get the ID animation
  3. Create an animation in your script :
    Help
  4. Do this in your script :
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local anims = script.Parent.Hold
local tool = script.Parent
local Animation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("anims"))

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
   Animation:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
   Animation:Stop()
end)
  1. Play your game, search animate in the workspace and copy it and paste it into StarterCharacterScripts and search “toolnone” and delete his line !
    I hope that was helpful ! :smiley:
    EDIT : I didn’t view there was a solution sorry !
