Sword from Roblox set not working out of the box?

That's weird. Try browsing through freemodels to find a sword that actually works. What you can also do is:

Click on the sword that you inserted in Roblox studio. Find it on the explorer on the right side of your screen. Then, drag it into StarterPack. Now, you will spawn with it each time and it should work. If it still doesn't work, try looking for another sword.

Just to answer my own question, it turns out this sword doesn't work with the R15 Avatar Type. I had to set the game to only allow R6 avatar type, and now the sword animation works.

Here's the working script for this problem, i had the same thing >.>

r = game:service("RunService")

local damage = 5

local slash_damage = 4 local lunge_damage = 12

sword = script.Parent.Handle Tool = script.Parent

local LungeSound = Instance.new("Sound") LungeSound.SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds\swordlunge.wav" LungeSound.Parent = sword LungeSound.Volume = .6

local UnsheathSound = Instance.new("Sound") UnsheathSound.SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds\unsheath.wav" UnsheathSound.Parent = sword UnsheathSound.Volume = 1

function blow(hit) local humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") local vCharacter = Tool.Parent local vPlayer = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(vCharacter) local hum = vCharacter:findFirstChild("Humanoid") -- non-nil if tool held by a character if humanoid~=nil and humanoid ~= hum and hum ~= nil then -- final check, make sure sword is in-hand

    local right_arm = vCharacter:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
    if (right_arm ~= nil) then
        local joint = right_arm:FindFirstChild("RightGrip")
        if (joint ~= nil and (joint.Part0 == sword or joint.Part1 == sword)) then
            tagHumanoid(humanoid, vPlayer)
            humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
            wait(1)
            untagHumanoid(humanoid)
        end
    end


end
