Tool Touched Function Animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am currently experiencing an issue with my tool that is supposed to enable an animation. It semi works but it is incredibly unreliable. I would like for the player that holds the “Mortar” to crouch down.

Script 

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Animation = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
Track.Looped = true
Track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

local Handle = script.Parent.Handle

local function onPartTouched(Handle)

	Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 1
	Track:Play()
		
	
end


local function onPartTouchEnded(Handle)
	Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	Track:Stop()
	
end


Handle.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)
Handle.TouchEnded:Connect(onPartTouchEnded)

First of all, what part are you touching? I believe the touched event could be your problem.

#9

I am trying to touch the handle of the tool.

This is all of the children for the tool.

#11

Your logic confuses me, are you trying to load the animation when the tool is equipped?

#12

Yes. I did not do Tool.Equipped because that is just when the mortar is in the backpack, I only want to activate it when the tool is in the player’s hand.

#13

But does it not end up in the player’s hand when it’s equipped? That’s how the event works lol.

#14

Yeah youre right lol, my bad .

#15

Wait but, Im comfused. I used Tool.Equipped and I never even opened the tool and it is making me crouch.

#16

So you mean only run animation when player got tool?

#17

Yeah, when the hold the tool out.

#18

There are many ways to do it. You can use:

  • Tool equip event
  • GetPropertyChangedSignal functions

Since you know way 1, let me explain way 2, it run your code when tool.parent is Player.Character. Or something like that.
