This is the local script in my tool and it plays animation when I press "R", but it still plays animation after too is unequipped, how to fix that? I tried using Tool.equipped event, but I failed and messed up the whole script, my scripting skills are very low.

The Tool.Equipped() is essential as the player can keep playing the animation without having the Tool equipped.

Try this code.(I have not tested this, so if you have any issues post a comment and I'll try to help you.)

01-- R attack
02local Tool = script.Parent --Put Tool Location here.
03local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
04local Character = Player.Character or script.Parent
05local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
06local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
07local AnimationID = 'rbxassetid://4868889544'
08local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
09Animation.AnimationId = AnimationID
10local LoadAnimation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
11local key = 'R'
12local debounce = true
13 
14Tool.Equipped:Connect(function() -- If the Tool is equipped
15 
16    UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping) -- If the player presses the key while the Tool is equipped then it will run the code below.
17        if  IsTyping then return end
18 
19        if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[key] and debounce == true then
20            debounce = false
21            LoadAnimation:Play()
22            wait(5)
23            debounce = true
24        end
25    end)
26end)
27 
28Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function() -- If the player has unequipped the Tool, we want to stop the animation in case they unequip the Tool during the Animation.
29 
30    LoadAnimation:Stop()
31 
32end)

1Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function() --Fires when the tool is unequipped
2    Animation:Stop(); --Stops the animation
3end);

You will need to edit it a bit so it works with your script.
