i wanted to play animation1 first then animation and then again animation1 as i am making a sword

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local sound = script.Parent.Handle.OverheadSound
local sound2 = script.Parent.Handle.UnsheathSound

local animations = "rbxassetid://6779827280"
local animation1 = "rbxassetid://6780070275"
local animationplayer = script.Parent.Handle.Animation

local CanAttack = true

script.Parent.Activated:connect(function()
    if animationplayer.AnimationId == animation1 then
        CanAttack = false
        animation1:Play()
        animationplayer.AnimationId = animations
        wait(0.2)
        CanAttack = true
    else
        CanAttack = false
        animations:Play()
        animationplayer.AnimationId = animation1
        wait(0.2)
        CanAttack = true
    end
end)

local idelanim = script.Parent.Handle.asd
local idealanimation = humanoid:LoadAnimation(idelanim)

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    idealanimation:Play()
    sound2:Play()
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    idealanimation:Stop()
end)

Hello, this is how we properly load and play animations.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --gets the player
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() --gets its character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --gets the humanoid
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator") --gets the animator

local animation = character.Animation --gets the animation object (ofcourse, change it to your animation's address)
local animTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animation) --loads the animation so we can play it

animTrack:Play() --plays the animation

What you were doing was playing strings instead of AnimationTracks. I hope this makes sense, good luck!

This is actually true. The animation ID can not play by itself. Only the animation instance can. Also, only the animator can load animations. If you see humanoid:LoadAnimation, that id deprecated. Finty_james 269 — 3y

I'm not an animations specialist though, I still know you need to make an animation in order to play it.

local animation1In = Instance.new(Animation)
animation1In.AnimationId = animation1
--install this somewhere between the variables and where you call it, yet still on global scope.
--and rewrite animation1 into animation1In in line 16

i moved to python half a year ago if I messed up something terribly sorry!
