Tool script won't run function on activation?
So I am trying to make a script that swings a knife when you click. Because the knife will interact with other players on the server, I thought I'd make it a serverscript. So I wrote the script along with the variables I'll need for animating. Getting the humanoid works, but the script fails to print "yay" (which is a placeholder for Track:Play() ) Does anyone know why this is happening? What can I do to fix it?
01 | local hum = nil |
02 | script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function() |
03 | hum = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") |
04 | print(hum) |
05 | end) |
06 |
07 | local anim = Instance.new("Animation") |
08 | anim.Name = "KnifeAnim1" |
09 | anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4657391308" |
10 | local Track = hum:LoadAnimation(anim) |
11 | local PlayingAnimations = hum:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() -- I'll use this later to stop the other tracks |
12 |
13 | script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function() |
14 | print("yay") |
15 | end) |

Well, the animation needs to be a local script because the player is performing the animation. But you could have another script inside the Knife that fires a Remote Function to the server to tell the other player to take damage.

Thanks for telling me! I wouldn't have realized that since I'm new to animating through scripts. ZeroNoey 19 — 5y
