How do you play an animation when a tool is activated?

Asked by

I am trying to make an animation play when a tool is activated, but I don't know how. For some weird reason, if I equip the tool, activate it, and unequip it super fast, it shows part of the animation playing and it won't print the error message, so I think it is trying to play, but I can't see it because because the tool being equipped won't allow it to play. Can someone tell me how to play an animation when a tool is activated? I want to make a throwable pizza for a food fighting game, and I need to play a throwing animation right when the tool is activated to make my character move the tool in a way that it looks like I am throwing it. Another thing - is it possible to do this? Do I need to change my scripts?

view source
01wait()
02local CanEmote = true
03local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
04local character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
05local Humanoid = character.Humanoid
06local Animation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Throw)
07 
08script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
09  if CanEmote then
10    Animation:Play()
11    CanEmote = false
12    wait(1)
13    CanEmote = true
14 
15  else print("An Error Occured")
16  end
17end)

Could you open the developer console, when you run in game, and see what the error is from there? Thank you very much. xx BunicornBoy 17 — 6y

After having a discussion with you, I have came up with this script:

1-- script doesn't work.

Edit: I think what you need to do is detect if it's selected and when the mouse button clicked, then set it to active.

Tell me if this works. Thanks xx.

It is fine I figured out I had to set the animation's priority to action it wasn't the code at all. RetroGalacticGamer 331 — 6y
