When equipped tool, walking animation will change

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

hey, yesterday I finished making a movement system and forgot I had speed coils. (the game has custom animations, including sprint animations.) I want to make it so when the tool is equipped, your walking animation will be changed to a run animation, and when unequipped, will change back.

having trouble finding any sources on this.

Use the tool.Equiped Function, then change your animation accordingly.

#3

Try this

local tool = script.Parent
local RunAnimation = (Insert animation location here)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

local track
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    track = player.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(RunAnimation)
    track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement
    track:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    if track then
        track:Stop()
    end
end)

Doesn’t seem to play at all, confused about this.

#5

Try messing around the the Priorities.

#6

Did/done that already, tried messing with the Id area, locations, and the functions. nothing’s working.

#7

Have you made sure your avatar is the exact same rig as your player? Like both are r6 or r15

#8

Yes, infact here. This is my sprint script where if the player actually runs, it’ll play the animation perfectly. I want this to be modified so if the player equips the tool and begins to walk, they get the speed and the walk animation plays. (Speed coil.)

local UIS = game:GetService(‘UserInputService’)
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

local Anim = Instance.new(‘Animation’)
Anim.AnimationId = ‘rbxassetid://10478382029’ – Change the ID to your own Animation, Otherwise put 0 for no Animation.
PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)

local keyDown = false

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then

	keyDown = true
	local animPlying = false

	while keyDown == true do
		wait(0.01)
		if Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and keyDown == true then
			Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 23 -- Change this to the running speed.
			if animPlying == false then
				animPlying = true
				PlayAnim:Play()
			end
		elseif Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude <= 0 and keyDown == true then
			Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 23 -- Change this one too.
			if animPlying == true then
				animPlying = false
				PlayAnim:Stop()
			end
		end
	end
end

end)

UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then

	keyDown = false

	Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	PlayAnim:Stop()
end

end)

I don’t even know where to begin to modify it so it works with an “when equipped” instead of “key pressed”

#10 
local tool = script.Parent
local animation = tool:WaitForChild("Animation")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character

local loadAnimation = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	loadAnimation:Play()
end)

This worked for me so if it doesn’t work for you I’m not too sure man

Remember to set the Animation Priorities and have a handle.

#11

I keep getting this, and it’s the exact way.

How would I make it play only if the player moves? (Found a script that plays the animation when equipped, but always playing)

local tool = script.Parent
local anim = Instance.new(“Animation”)
local anim1 = Instance.new(“Animation”)
anim.Name = “IdleAnim”
anim.AnimationId = “rbxassetid://0” – Idle Animaton ID
anim1.Name = “WalkAnim”
anim1.AnimationId = “rbxassetid://10478382029”-- Equip Tool Animaton ID
local track
local track1
– When Tool Equipped
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
track = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
track1 = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim1)
track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement
track1.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement
track.Looped = true
track:Play()
track1:Play()
end)

– When Tool UnEqiopped
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
if track and track1 then
track:Stop()
track1:Stop()
end
end)

You can use something like

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") 

local walkAnim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local walkAnimTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(walkAnim)

humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 then
		if not walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
			walkAnimTrack:Play()
		end
	else
		if walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
			walkAnimTrack:Stop()
		end
	end
end)

This just goes into a tool right?

#17

And then implement this script into your tool script so it’d maybe look like

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 then
		if not walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
			walkAnimTrack:Play()
		end
	else
		if walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
			walkAnimTrack:Stop()
		end
	end
end)
end)
#18

Little confused on where I would put the walkAnimTrack.

I managed to achieve a run animation change by adjusting the roblox animation script following this post:

I adjusted mine so that it can play for R6, but if your game is R15 just copy from the thread I attached.

Heres a download so you can get a look at it:
