Animation only plays when player is near an enemy?

Hi. Sorry for the confusing title, I'm making a punch tool but the animation only plays whenever it's near an enemy. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

(Sorry for the confusing script)

Here's the punch tool's script:

-- ---------------
local tool = script.Parent
local hitsound = tool:WaitForChild("Hit")
local hit1sound = tool:WaitForChild("Hit2")
local swingsound = tool:WaitForChild("Swing")
local canattack = tool:WaitForChild("CanAttack")
local plr = tool.Parent.Parent
local debounce = false
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
local root = plr.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local char
local hum
local idle
local swing1anim
local swing2anim
local ray
local hitposition
local hit
-- -------------
tool.Equipped:connect(function() -- tool equipped
	swing1animation = swing1anim or script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Punch1)
    swing2animation = swing2anim or script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Punch2)
	char = char or plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
	hum = hum or char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    idle = idle or hum:LoadAnimation(script.Idle)
	idle:Play()
	idle.Looped = true
end)
tool.Activated:Connect(function(player) -- tool activated
	wait(.133)
	script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Part").Touched:connect(function(hit) -- if enemy touching player's hitbox, it can punch
	    if debounce == false then
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
			local mark = script.Mark
			local kb = script.KB
			local choose = math.random(1,2)
	        if hit then -- if hit
	            local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidE")
	            if not humanoid ~= nil then
	                humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidE")
	            end
	            if humanoid ~= nil then
	                if choose == 1 then
	                    debounce = true
						swing1animation:Play() -- play the animation
						swingsound:Play()
						wait(.25)
						hitsound:Play()
						mark.Value = true
						kb.Value = true
	                    humanoid:TakeDamage(9) -- deal damage to the enemy
						wait(.33)
						swingsound:Stop()
						hitsound:Stop()
						swing1animation:Stop()
						debounce = false
						if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then 
							debounce = false
						return end
						local creator = Instance.new("StringValue",hit.Parent)
						creator.Name = player.Name
						creator.Value = player.Name
						game.Debris:AddItem(creator,7)
						debounce = false
	                elseif choose == 2 then
	                    debounce = true
						swingsound:Play()
						swing2animation:Play() -- play the animation
						wait(.25)
						hit1sound:Play()
						mark.Value = true
						kb.Value = true
	                    humanoid:TakeDamage(9)  -- deal damage to the enemy
						wait(.33)
						swingsound:Stop()
						hit1sound:Stop()
						swing2animation:Stop()
						debounce = false
						if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then 
							debounce = false
						return end
						local creator = Instance.new("StringValue",hit.Parent)
						creator.Name = player.Name
						creator.Value = player.Name
						game.Debris:AddItem(creator,7)
						debounce = false
	                end
				else
					return
	            end
	        end
	    end
	end)
end)
tool.Deactivated:connect(function() -- tool deactivated
	canattack.Value = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function() -- tool unequipped
	idle:Stop()
end)
