Trouble with playing an animation from a tool?

Asked by

I have a local script inside a tool. In the same hierarchy level is the handle and animation. For some reason the animation won't play when the tool is used. I tested this exact code from a local script in the StarterGui, but with uis, and it worked just fine. The animation prints Play, then Stop, but does nothing. No errors. Any help is greatly appreciated.

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    local animation = script.Parent.Eat
    local track =  game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(animation)
    print('Start')
    track:Play()
    wait(1)
    track:Stop()
    print('Stop')
end)

I think the problem is that you don't have a "Handle" in your tool


local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
local char = player.Character
local humanoid = char.Humanoid

--[[
local handle = Instance.new("Part")
handle.Parent = tool
handle.Name = "Handle"
]]


local tool = script.Parent
local EatAnimation = tool.Eat

local p = humanoid:LoadAnimation(EatAnimation)
p.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    p:Play()
    wait(1)
    p:Stop()
end)
