its a simple line of code and I don't understand why its not working.

01local tool = script.Parent
02local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
03local Ammo = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Ammo")
04local HoldAnimation = script.Parent.HoldAnim
05tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
06    print("Tool equipped!")
07 
08    mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
09        if Ammo.Value >= 1 then
10        print("Mouse pressed!")
11        Ammo.Value = Ammo.Value - 1
12        HoldAnimation:Play()
13        print(Ammo.Value)
14        script.Parent.Handle.Fire:Play()
15        local ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, (mouse.Hit.p - tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit * 300)
16        local part, position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, player.Character, false, true)
17 
18        local beam = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
19        beam.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
20        beam.FormFactor = "Custom"
21        beam.Material = "Neon"
22        beam.Transparency = 0.5
23        beam.Anchored = true
24        beam.Locked = true
25        beam.CanCollide = false
26 
27        local distance = (tool.Handle.CFrame.p - position).magnitude
28        beam.Size = Vector3.new(0.3, 0.3, distance)
29        beam.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, position) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -distance / 2)
30 
31 
32        game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(beam, 0.1)
33 
34        if part then
35            local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
36 
37            if not humanoid then
38                humanoid = part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
39            end

41            if humanoid then
42                humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
43 
44            end

Okay so you need to load your animations into the humanoid using this function

1local C = player.Character
2local Hum = C:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
3local PlayAnim = Hum:LoadAnimation(HoldAnimation)
4PlayAnim:Play()

-- Hopefully this helped!

OMG TRUE, I didn't remember the pre-load thing OfcPedroo 396 — 7y

You're on the right track! But, in order to play an animation, you have to first Load it onto the Humanoid.

The function Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is how you get an animation on a humanoid, ready to play. This function returns the AnimationTrack object, which is what you use :Play() on.

Example codes: (These use the LocalPlayer as a way of finding your player humanoid, so don't try and use the example copy-paste in anything but a Localscript.)

1humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
2animTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.HoldAnim)
3 
4animTrack:Play()

or:

`1`	`game.Players.Localplayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.HoldAnim):Play()`

Link to AnimTrack properties on the wiki. Try messing with Playbackspeed!

Hope this helped.

Shoutout to @Mr_MilkysButler and @DropshitPilot's awesome ideas, try this:

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
2    repeat wait() until player.Character
3 
4    local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
5    humanoid:LoadAnimation(HoldAnim)
6    HoldAnim:Play()
7 
8end)

:Play() is not a valid member of animation?
