Walking animation overriding tool animation, even when I set the priority to action

I am making a tool that you can hold in both hands, and to do that I need to make an animation to bring both arms up. The problem is whenever the player walks, the arm moves up. I tried setting the priority to action and action4 and nothing changes. I even tried setting the priority in the animation editor and nothing changed either.

Parts of the script that handles animation:

local AnimationIds = {
	"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=106437272933745"
}

local tracks = nil

local function loadAnimations(Humanoid)
	if not Humanoid then return end
	Tracks = {}

	for Index, AnimationId in pairs(AnimationIds) do
		local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
		Animation.AnimationId = AnimationId
		Animation.Parent = Humanoid
		local Track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
		Track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4
		Tracks[Index] = Track
	end
end

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		equipped = false
		deleteSlingers()
		Tracks = nil
		local char = player.Character
		local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		loadAnimations(humanoid)
	end)

	tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
		if Tracks then
			for _, track in pairs(Tracks) do
				if track.IsPlaying then
					track:Stop()
				end
			end
		end
	end)

	tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
		if Tracks and Tracks[1] then
			Tracks[1]:Play()
		end
	end)
    local char = player.Character
	local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	loadAnimations(humanoid)

Hey there!

When playing the AnimationTrack try setting its weight to a 1000. It should resolve the issue with animations overlaping. Here`s an example:

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if Tracks and Tracks[1] then
		Tracks[1]:Play(1, 1000)
	end
end)

The problem is with your animation, you need to set the pose of the elbow and wrist. Just because your tool animaiton is playing at priority, the walk animation is still playing and will affect any joints that you are not specifically manipulating in the animation
