[SOLVED]My sword works but the animation doesn't play?

I am trying to make a sword in my game, but it's animation is not playing for some reason, but other things are working, such as the opponent is being damaged by the sword, but the animation is not playing. Please tell me what is the problem with my script, and what actions I can take to fix it.

Here is the script:

local blade = script.Parent.Handle.Blade
local CanDamage = script.Parent.CanDamage
local CanAttack = true
local damage = 30

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local human = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
		local attack = human:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack)
end)

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	local human = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
	if CanAttack == true then
		local attack = human:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack)
		attack:Play()
		CanAttack = false
		CanDamage.Value = true
		wait(1.3)
		attack:Stop()
		CanAttack = true
		CanDamage.Value = false
	end
end)

blade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local human = hit.Parent.Humanoid
	if human then
		if CanDamage.Value == true then
			if human.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Parent.Name then
				human:TakeDamage(damage)
			end
		end
	end
end)

Thanks!

You seem to have your script inside the animation, so you can't trigger the animation within the thing that detects if it was triggered.

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()

You're going to need to change this up so that instead of the function above gets triggered, you'll have a boolean value that switches in your mouse press event or keypress event, whichever one you chose, it switches the boolean value. So that in this script, you just check for a change in the boolean value, and if it changes, then you play the animation.

Workspace.BoolValue.Changed:Connect(function(NewValue) --you would just change this to wherever you keep the BoolValue object
    local human = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
    if CanAttack == true then
        local attack = human:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Attack)
        attack:Play()
        CanAttack = false
        CanDamage.Value = true
        wait(1.3)
        attack:Stop()
        CanAttack = true
        CanDamage.Value = false
    end
end)
