Animation in tool keeps breaking after it is unequiped?
so i have this script inside a tool to play a animation when the player clicks with the tool out.
local debounce = true
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if debounce == true then
debounce = false
animation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)
animation:Play()
wait(1.5)
debounce = true
end
end)
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
animation:Stop()
debounce = false
end)
i am having issues specifically with this part of the script
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
animation:Stop()
debounce = false
end)
sometimes when you unequip and equip the tool the script will just stop working. the animation will just stop playing. any idea how to fix this?

You're problem is that the function can't read the animation variable since it is local to the other function. To fix this, you can simply add a global variable that all functions can read.
local debounce = true
local animation
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if debounce == true then
debounce = false
animation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)
animation:Play()
wait(1.5)
debounce = true
end
end)
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
animation:Stop()
debounce = false
end)
