Tool LocalScript problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello devs, I’m working on game and I created tool with LocalScript with it :

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local holdAnim = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Hold"))
local toggleAnim = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Toggle"))
local event = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Event")

local toggle = false
local debounce = false

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	holdAnim:Stop()
	toggleAnim:Stop()
	
end)

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if toggle == true then
		holdAnim:Play()
	end
end)

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if toggle == false and debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		toggle = true
		script.Parent.Sound:FireServer()
		toggleAnim:Play()
		toggleAnim.Stopped:Wait()
		event:FireServer()
		holdAnim:Play()
		debounce = false
	elseif toggle == true and debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		toggle = false
		script.Parent.Sound:FireServer()
		holdAnim:Stop()
		toggleAnim:Play()
		toggleAnim.Stopped:Wait()
		event:FireServer()
		debounce = false
	end
end)

At first it works fine but after player dies this error shows up :

error

Tool is in the StarterPack yes?

5

The player’s character resets every time when you die and a new humanoid is formed.
Try to put the local script in game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts

6

Yeah it is, need to extend this.

7

But tool wont work then… You need to think a bit.

8

No, it will work but you need to use game.StarterPack.Flashlight instead of script.Parent

Tool is moving to Character when equipped bruh.

You can use too CharacterAdded it’s the same

Try defining the humanoid inside a function.

local holdAnim
local toggleAnim

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local Animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
    holdAnim = Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Hold"))
    toggleAnim = Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Toggle"))
end)

Fixed it by getting all children and descendats when tool is equipped and enabling all of gotten scripts! So now it works fine :smiley: .

Thank you for help everyone!
