How can I make a tool script that plays an animation for the character using it?
I'm quite new to coding, and this is something I haven't been able to figure out for months, and none of the research I've been doing is helping.
My goal is to make a tool, (in this case, Ice Cream) and when you click with said tool equipped, it plays the animation I wish to play (in this case, the person taking a lick of the ice cream)
I've done research on various sites, and this is the code I came up with-
-- Import animation
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=1851375372"
-- Local variables
local animTrack = nil
local canPlay = true
function playShockAnim(Source)
if canPlay then
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
canPlay = false
animTrack = player.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) -- Load animation into Humanoid
animTrack.KeyframeReached:connect(function(keyframeName) -- Bind function to KeyframeReached event
local onActivation()
canPlay = true
end
end)
animTrack:Play() -- Start the animation
end
end
I tried my best to retain from errors, But so far, nothing happens when I equip the item and try to activate it. It would help if someone told me what I was doing wrong.

Hello, guythatsrich!
I have written a script for you!
But first... you have to do a few things!
First, create an Animation inside your tool and change its ID.
Second, make sure its parent is the tool.
Third, name it to Anim! (otherwise, the script won't find it)
And, create a LocalScript inside your tool.
Animation = script.Parent.Anim Human = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid AnimationTrack = Human:LoadAnimation(Animation) Tool = script.Parent Tool.Activated:Connect(function() AnimationTrack:Play() end)
Tell me if it doesn't work.
-- Good Luck!

Ok I've been codding a sword yesterday and on that day i'v got the whole script down
so first your gonna need a tool then add the local Script inside the tool then add an "Animation" in side the localscript and then now type this below also make sure your animation id is inside the animation!
local play = game.Players.LocalPlayer local use = false--I use this as my version of a debounce...U haven't use the item at the moment yet so that is why "use" is set to false script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function() if use == false then use = true--now you are using the item local animation = play.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)--change the name "Animation" to the name of your animation animation:Play wait(1)--This Number in here is basicly a cooldown number.Youu csn change it to whatever you want use = false end)
