How to check if tool is equipped/unequipped?
This is local script in the tool and it is not working properly, it plays animation after tool is unequipped. I think I need to add "check if tool is equipped" but I don't know how to do it.
local Tool = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local AnimationID = 'rbxassetid://4868889544'
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = AnimationID
local LoadAnimation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
local key = 'R'
local debounce = true
-- how to check if tool is equipped?
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
if IsTyping then return end
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[key] and debounce == true then
debounce = false
LoadAnimation:Play()
wait(3)
debounce = true
end
end)
end)
-- how to check if tool is unequipped?
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
LoadAnimation:Stop()
LoadAnimation:Destroy()
end)

You could use variables to check if the tool is equipped like this:
local Equipped = false
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
Equipped = true
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
if Equipped == true then -- Check if equipped when input begins
-- Put code here
end
end)
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
Equipped = false
end)

Or alternitively you could just check tool.Parent. A tool should be Parented to Player.Backpack if it's unequipped and parented to their character if it's equiped.
if Tool.Parent == Player.Backpack then
print("Unequipped")
elseif Tool.Parent == Player.Character then
print("Equipped")
end
