Tool.Activated not firing in StarterPack only in Workspace

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,
I got an issue but i have no idea why it is happening.
The sword tool i made is only firing on Tool.Activated when it is collected from the floor but not from the StarterPack.
I dont get any errors or else.
The sword isnt just doing anything.
I hope anyone can help me fix this problem.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local slashAnim = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("SlashOne")
local slashPlay = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(slashAnim)

local canSlash = true

local debounce = 1

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if canSlash then
		canSlash = false
		slashPlay:Play()
		wait(debounce)
		canSlash = true
	end
end)

Im not the best in animation in general but I think you have to load a animation from the animator.


local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character
local slashAnim = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("SlashOne")
local slashPlay = char.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator"):LoadAnimation(slashAnim)

local canSlash = true

local debounce = 1

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if canSlash then
		canSlash = false
		slashPlay:Play()
		wait(debounce)
		canSlash = true
	end
end)

Hey,
its not an issue in the animations.
They´re working fine but the tool isn´t activating in the starterpack.
I tried to just use print(“Activated”) but it´s not giving anything but if i put it in the workspace and collect it then it´s working absolutely fine.

Tool.ManualActivationOnly is disabled?

#5

Yes, it is.
RequiresHandle is true but i got a handle in the tool.

#6

I found the issue.
I got an error in the script but it was actually hidden because i had a plugin that injected my scripts with a virus but i deleted it now.
So this is the error:
Players.PokeCardDealer.Backpack.ClassicSword.LocalScript:4: attempt to index nil with ‘Humanoid’ - Client - LocalScript:4

#7

I fixed it with a wait() function now and it works perfect.
It´s because the humanoid wasn´t loaded yet.
