whenever i equip my weapon from my inventory, it gets deleted from my inventory a few seconds after i equip it, why does this happen? this is the script inside the weapon
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local connection = nil
local idle, run
local LDagger = script.Parent.LDagger
local RDagger = script.Parent.RDagger
local function CreateAnimationTrack(animationId, looped)
assert(typeof(animationId) == "number", 'CreateAnimationTrack Error: "animationId" must be a number value!')
assert(typeof(looped) == "boolean", 'CreateAnimationTrack Error: "looped" must be a boolean value!')
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..animationId
local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
animationTrack.Looped = looped
animationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
return animationTrack
end
local function OnPostSimulation()
if humanoid.MoveDirection == Vector3.zero then
if idle.IsPlaying then return end
run:Stop()
idle:Play()
else
if run.IsPlaying then return end
idle:Stop()
run:Play()
end
end
local function OnEquipped()
if connection then return end
connection = RunService.PostSimulation:Connect(OnPostSimulation)
end
local function OnUnequipped()
if connection then
connection:Disconnect()
connection = nil
if idle.IsPlaying then idle:Stop() end
if run.IsPlaying then run:Stop() end
end
end
idle = CreateAnimationTrack(85281865286630, true)
run = CreateAnimationTrack(91289823710220, true)
tool.Equipped:Connect(OnEquipped)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(OnUnequipped)
this is the contents inside the tool (i want there to be two weapons in each player hand)
oh yeah thats my bad i accidentally cut out the top part, this is how the player is defined
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local tool = script.Parent
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
Well, you could do the animation logic in a ServerScript within the tool.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local tool = script.Parent
local idleAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
idleAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://85281865286630"
local runAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
runAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://91289823710220"
local idleTrack, runTrack, conn
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local char = tool.Parent
local animator = char.Humanoid.Animator
idleTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnim)
runTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(runAnim)
idleTrack.Looped = true
runTrack.Looped = true
idleTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
runTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
conn = RunService.PostSimulation:Connect(function()
if char.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude < 0.1 then
if not idleTrack.IsPlaying then
runTrack:Stop()
idleTrack:Play()
end
else
if not runTrack.IsPlaying then
idleTrack:Stop()
runTrack:Play()
end
end
end)
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
conn:Disconnect()
idleTrack:Stop()
runTrack:Stop()
end)
i was testing it out and i found out why it was deleting when in my inventory, it only did it when i used these two handles, i want to make it so it doesnt delete and stays on the player hands, can you find whats wrong with the daggers?
Nice tracking down the issue. I can’t really look at all you’re dealing with here.
For a tool anything added to the tool can be welded to the handle. What you’re showing don’t look like the tool’s handle. If they are, they are missing some things that should be in them. Look at some of your other tool handles. Also… is everything set to Archivable…
If the joint is taking the place of the weld make sure that is connected between two parts.
I took out the two handles off the tool while i was finding out that they are the problem, and i added joints to them because in the script i showed before, i added that so when the player equips the tool the part0 of the joint welds to those players hands, but i removed the script to try find why the tool was deleting on being equipped, the tools were able to weld fine when i was animating them with a rig
I can’t tell if you need the joints or not, they may be part of the animation… Try just welding that part to the handle to see if that stops them for being removed. They may be attached to the something that isn’t there when put in the backpack… like the hand. Then they drop off… this will take some testing.
When I make tools and add things to the tools I like to use Weld.
I made my own version of this but this one is almost the same. It works well.
(the last one you click will hold the welds within it)
You should load and play animations on the client if the Animator is a descendant of the player’s character. Animations should be loaded on the server if the Animator is owned by the server.
That’s what it says in the documentations, at least.
Are you attaching the joints to the player on the server as well? It won’t realize the handles are attached to the player if it’s only done locally, and the tool will fall into the void (if it has collision disabled, that is)
ive only tried adding joints in the client script, the animations work fine and well with the local script, the only problem is the two handles not connecting to the player and instead falling out the world (they are both unanchored and cancollide is off)
Easy! You can add a server script that, upon detecting the tool being equipped, connects the joints from the handles to the character’s right arm and left arm.
If you’re not planning on making the tool droppable, there’s no need to detach them. Otherwise, just detect when the tool’s parent changes to workspace. Not sure if that’s the best way to handle that but that’s what I know.
I was able to make an event sent to the server to make part0 the players arms, but the weapons stay in the exact same place instead of teleporting to the players arms, and its unanchored, do you know what going on?
