Attempt to index local 'Humanoid'(A nil value)?
I am trying to make an idle animation stop but when I put in Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") it says "20:48:14.460 - Players.360gamer107.Backpack.Desteller.LocalScript:72: attempt to index local 'Humanoid' (a nil value)" The problem is on lines 69 - 77.

This is being caused because your Tool is being transferred to the Player's backpack, this will automatically happen everytime you unequip a Tool. Since the Tool's parent becomes 'Backpack', this isn't the Character, nor does it have a Humanoid as a descendant. That's why you're getting Attempt to index local 'Humanoid'. Though the Backpack is a Child of Player and the Character is tied to the Player, so simply find the Player as a Parent of Backpack, then Index their Character's Humanoid from there.
local Character = Tool.Parent.Parent.Character
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
Hope this helps! don't forget to accept if so

The reason for this error is that once the Tool is unequipped, it is no longer part of the player's character, but rather their Backpack. Because it is now a member of the backpack, and there is no object named "Humanoid" in the backpack, FindFirstChild returns nil, and your attempt to index nil throws an error on line 72.
To solve this, you need to access the player's character through other means, the best being Player.Character.
Lines 69-77 Revised:
function onUnEquipped()
local Backpack = Tool.Parent;
local Player = Backpack.Parent;
local Character = Player.Character;
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local Idle = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Tool.Idle)
if (not Tool) then return end
if (not Handle) then return end
Idle:Stop()
Handle.UnsheathSound:Stop()
end
