In StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts add a LocalScript and add this
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
if not character or not character.Parent then
character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
-- Create new "Animation" instance
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
-- Set its "AnimationId" to the corresponding animation asset ID
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6550418250"
-- Load animation onto the animator
local Animation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
-- Play animation track
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
-- play animation
Animation:Play()
print("Playing animation?")
wait(1) --Adjust Acordingly
Animation:Stop()
end
end)
You can use UserInputService, then see if the key is the left click button, then play the animation
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/UserInputService
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
if key.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then -- another way for saying left click
-- blah blah blah play animation
end
end)
if you're talking about a gui then just use GuiButton.MouseButton1Click
