Tool Script Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#64

I made Part0 as the player’s Torso so it was easier to animate

#65

Thats the issue then. Part0 is always supposed to be the object the weld is located in.
Make Part0 the mesh instead of making a new part called handle.

Also change this

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)			
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
				
		local M6D = Instance.new("Motor6D", char.Torso)
		M6D.Name = "ToolGrip"
	        end)
	
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local playertool = player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):WaitForChild("Bat"):WaitForChild("LocalScript") -- Change "Bat" to your tool name.
	local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", playertool)
	Animation.Name = "Run"
	Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5522791201" end)
end)

TO

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local playertool = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack"):WaitForChild("Bat"):WaitForChild("LocalScript") -- Change "Bat" to your tool name.
	local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", playertool)
	Animation.Name = "Run"
	Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5522791201"

	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)	
		local M6D = Instance.new("Motor6D", char.Torso)
		M6D.Name = "ToolGrip"
	end)
end)

Using one .PlayerAdded event is more efficient.

Works perfectly, but as I mentioned earlier, the bat does not disappear on deequipping, and the animation plays on pressing W again even if you dequipped it.

(Dequipped but it still runs the anim)

Local script:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = script.Parent -- Make sure the local script is inside of the tool.
local equipped = false
local Animation = script:WaitForChild("Run") -- Place animation inside of script.
local runtrack = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = false
end)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(keyPressed, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then return end
	if not equipped then return end
	if keyPressed.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ConnectM6D:FireServer()	
		runtrack:Play()
		repeat
		wait()
			until not game:GetService("UserInputService"):IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W)
			runtrack:Stop()
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)			
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
				
		local M6D = Instance.new("Motor6D", char.Torso)

	local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", playertool)
	Animation.Name = "Run"
	Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5522791201" --Change to Animation Id
	end)
end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.ConnectM6D.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,location)

      local char = plr.Character
      char.Torso.ToolGrip.Part0 = char.Torso
      char.Torso.ToolGrip.Part1 = workspace.MeshPart
end)
#67

Can you put print(equipped) right after

equipped = false

and show the output results?

Did you use

print(equipped)

or

print("Unequipped")

Use print (equipped) if so.

#70

My bad, I’ll change it right now.

Bat doesn’t appear anymore either

#72

You must have edited the code in the mean time. What did you change?

If it doesn’t work try my original solution, making a weld, Part0 is a part named “Handle” that will be invisible and Part1 can be the mesh.

Did a bunch of undos, and the bat DID fix, however same thing on the animation struggle and bat not disappearing.

#74

Try it. I’m sure this will work. It may have something to do with that Motor6D you created to the players torso, try deleting that and using my solution.

Would Handle be in the workspace?

#76

No, inside of the tool, thats how the tool actually figures out what its apperance is.

#77

Putting it into the Tool kind of broke it for me… I had a meshpart in the workspace then it vanishes when I click play and gives this error

#78

What? I’m sorry you didn’t have your handle in the tool this whole time?

#79

I never had a Handle. I set RequireHandle to false.

#80

No wonder why it isnt disappearing.
If you want the character to hold something its better to have a handle, than not.

#81

Problem is, the MeshPart just disappears from existence
Server script responsible for Weld:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)			
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
				
		local M6D = Instance.new("Weld", char.Torso)
		M6D.Name = "ToolGrip"
	        end)
	
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local playertool = player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):WaitForChild("Bat"):WaitForChild("LocalScript") -- Change "Bat" to your tool name.
	local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", playertool)
	Animation.Name = "Run"
	Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5522791201" --Change to Animation Id
	end)
end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.ConnectM6D.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)

      local char = plr.Character
      char.Torso.ToolGrip.Part0 = game.StarterPack.Bat.Handle
	      char.Torso.ToolGrip.Part1 = workspace.MeshPart
end)
#82

Do you realize if you add a handle it automatically puts it on the character and it moves with the character. So you don’t even need to use Motor6D. Also, what is this meshpart being used for?
Also StarterPack doesnt work for tools once again, you need to use the players backpack.

#83

The MeshPart is supposed to be the bat
