I didn't think this would work, but I don't know any other way... How can i get it to play the animation when it is swung? Here is my script

function onEquip()
local animation = script.Slash

print("loading")
local plyr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name
print(plyr)
local char = workspace[plyr]
local anim = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
print("loaded")
function onSwing()
    print("swinging")
anim:Play()
end
print("swung")
end
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(onEquip)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(onSwing)

MouseButton1Down is not a valid member of Tool Please help!!! Thank you!!!

script.Parent.Parent is Backpack and not the tool. The Backpack doesn't click.

MouseClick is also an event for ClickDetectors only. Mouse.Button1Down is for tools.

script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
    mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()

    end)
end)

MouseButton1Down is a Mouse event, you can access the mouse through the onEquip Function.

function onEquip(mouse)
local animation = script.Slash

print("loading")
local plyr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name
print(plyr)
local char = workspace[plyr]
local anim = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
print("loaded")
function onSwing()
    print("swinging")
anim:Play()
end
print("swung")
end
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(onEquip)
mouse.MouseButton1Down:connect(onSwing)
