So I have a local script under a tool and when it is equipped it plays the holding animation. It works fine unless I reset and then when I equip the tool again it doesn’t play the animation and I get this error. Does anyone know why?

ig doing:
if humanoid and (Tool.Parent.Parent == workspace) then
will fix it
that is really weird. I wonder why you would have to do that
it is what it is, try it and see if the error occurs again.
nothing changed i still get the error
is your animation a descendant of workspace?
Just do this:
Tool:IsDescendantOf(workspace)
yeah it is (extra character and stuff)
never heard of that function, but thanks for giving me new knowledge
alright so i think the error occured because your roblox character hasn’t loaded completely yet. after resetting, try waiting a few seconds and try equipping it again. if it worked try figuring out how to make the player unable to equip the tool before their character has fully loaded.

local holdingAnim

holdingAnim:Play()
end
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
if holdingAnim then
holdingAnim:Stop()
end

here is the full script if that helps
ok so try
repeat
task.wait()
until character:IsDescendantOf(workspace)
put it in your script below local character
sorry i did a few english errors.
i dont get the error anymore but now it does nothing like its still waiting for the character to be a child or something
below my code that i just sent write print("running tool"), just to know whenether it’s running yet or not.
should i just send a remote event to the server and have the server play the animation? i would prefer not to do that but if that is the only thing that will work
i suppose that won’t work?
alright ill try that. this minimum chracter thing is annoying
