Hello! I've been trying for a bit to get this dang issue from happening. Here is the script I am using, this is in StarterCharacterScripts. Also, this is a Local Script, and I have two Remote Events in ReplicatedStorage, and two Server Scripts in ServerScriptService. Hope you can figure out whats going on! -Mrmonkeyman120

local tool = game.StarterPack.M4 
local db = true
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = 'https://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3345626311'
local playAnim = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(anim)
game.ReplicatedStorage.ShiftToSprintHoldGun:FireServer()
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, event)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and db then 
        db = false
        if tool.Equipped then
        playAnim:Play()
        db = true
    end
    end
end)
if tool.Unequipped then
    local Anim = Instance.new("Animation")
    Anim.AnimationId = 'https://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3345452716'
    local playanim = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Anim) 
    game.ReplicatedStorage.ShiftToSprintHoldGun:FireServer()
    UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, Event)
        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and db then
            db = false
            playAnim:Stop()
            wait(0.15)
            playanim:Play()
            print("Worked")
        end
    end)
end

in my script line 1, change it to local tool = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:FindFirstChild("M4") or game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("M4") OnaKat 444 — 4y

The tool will be in the player's character or backpack, if it's equipped it's in the character. Which means that you should check both the backpack and character.

local tool = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:FindFirstChild("M4") or game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("M4")

Nope, the same issue, the animation still plays, but it plays even if the tool is unequipped. Mrmonkeyman120 65 — 4y

Your problem is on line 17

if tool.Unequipped then

If you want detect when tool is unequipped, you will need function.

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()

end)

and line 11 too

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

end)

also change StarterPack to player backpack

Here is the script

local tool = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:FindFirstChild("M4") or game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Backpack:FindFirstChild("M4")
local db = true
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = 'https://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3345626311'
local playAnim = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(anim)
game.ReplicatedStorage.ShiftToSprintHoldGun:FireServer()
local key = nil
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, event)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and db then 
        db = false
        key = input.KeyCode
    end
end)
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    if key == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and db then
        playAnim:Play()
        db = true
    end
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    local Anim = Instance.new("Animation")
    Anim.AnimationId = 'https://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3345452716'
    local playanim = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Anim) 
    game.ReplicatedStorage.ShiftToSprintHoldGun:FireServer()
    UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, Event)
        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and db then
            db = false
            playAnim:Stop()
            wait(0.15)
            playanim:Play()
            print("Worked")
        end
    end)
end)
