Tool from ReplicatedStorage doesn't do animation, while one in StarterPack does

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to create a system that gives you a tool from pressing a button, which works, and when I put the exact same tool from the ReplicatedStorage into the StarterPack, the animation I put works, while the one that comes from ReplicatedStorage in the game, it doesn’t work. Sorry if it’s confusing.
Script:
local sp = script.Parent.Speed
local tool = script.Parent
local animation = tool:WaitForChild("DrinkAnimation")

function onEquip(mouse)
	local char = tool.Parent
	local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

if char and hum then
	local animationTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(animation)
	animationTrack:Play()
	animationTrack:AdjustSpeed(sp.Value)

end 

end



tool.Activated:connect(onEquip)

Not enough information. Can we see the hierarchy of your tool? Furthermore does any code in the script run (e.g. you can add a print at the top to check) or does just nothing of it work? Do you know of if there are any errors in the code? Please supply as much information about your circumstances as possible.

Code does work, there aren’t any errors either.

I would show you a video, but Roblox Studio isn’t letting me upload videos, here’s some pictures:

Tell me if anything is wrong, and when I click when I put the tool in StarterPack, it works, but when I get it from ReplicatedStorage, it doesn’t work.

#6

What type of script are you cloning the tool with? If it’s a LocalScript it won’t work for you because the bytecode of scripts is not sent to to LocalScripts. You will need to clone the tool with a regular script.

It’s a regular script, I was following a tutorial that was fairly recent (6-8 months ago). It gives the item normally, though.

Code to deliver tool:

local plrs = game:GetService("Players")

local function pa(p)
	local function ca()
		game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Tool:Clone().Parent = p:WaitForChild("Backpack")
	end
	
	p.CharacterAdded:Connect(ca)
	if p.Character then
		ca(p.Character)
	end
end

plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(pa)
for _, p in ipairs(plrs:GetPlayers()) do
	pa(p)
end

Code in tool:

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function ()
	print("activated")
end)

Besides a bit of my own lazy code writing, I can’t reproduce your issue. The only other thing I can think of as to why your code wouldn’t run is either ManualActivationOnly is false or there’s an error or warning in your console that hasn’t been shared. You do need to do a bit of debugging.

If debugging really doesn’t lead you anywhere, a repro file demonstrating the problem would be appreciated. A repro file should just include barebones code relevant to the current issue and a way to test the exact problem happening.
