Animation bug or im stupid idk please check its basic

[lapis crescent]

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local anim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")

-- Load the animation
local animTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(anim)
animTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action -- overrides default tool hold
animTrack.Looped = true -- we’ll handle stopping manually

-- Play when equipped
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    if not animTrack.IsPlaying then
        animTrack:Play()
    end
end)

-- Stop when unequipped
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    if animTrack.IsPlaying then
        animTrack:Stop()
    end
end)

[uncut stirrup]

make the equip animation not loop

[lapis crescent]

fast reply thank god

well i believe it automatically goes to the normal tool holding animation of roblox itself

like it plays the animation

but at the last frame once it finishes it goes back to the default tool holding animation

i want mine to stay

so yeah still didnt work

[buoyant monolith]

redo the animation

[nocturne lintel]

** You are now Level 6! **

[lapis crescent]

sorry explain a bit more about what you mena

if you want me to redo the animation to turn off looping. it never had it on

its priority is action

[buoyant monolith]

i guess the first key frame that you have is not where u want to stay

[lapis crescent]

the keyframes go from the very start. being idle and standing still going to him holding the flashlight as you see. that ofc being the end frame. why now

imma see if i can present a screenshot one minute

oh damn

is it because of this?

an empty space at the right

[buoyant monolith]

hm no

u are looping, its not gonna stay

[lapis crescent]

im not??

[buoyant monolith]

u should do something like this

[lapis crescent]

hm wait i dont understand whats going on in the pic

[buoyant monolith]

there is just one set of frames, at the sec 0, making it loop, its gonna stay where i want

[lapis crescent]

but i do have keyframes at 0

why would i remove the ones on the right if they are what open my flashlight

[buoyant monolith]

cuz thats making it not stay...

[lapis crescent]

but then my flashlight wont play its animation 😭

[buoyant monolith]

i mean

[lapis crescent]

i get what you mean. but like

[buoyant monolith]

delete what u have at sec 0

and move

what you have at sec 0.5 to sec 0

thats it

[lapis crescent]

hm fine lemme see

i mean it worked. but its so fast. i dont want that

[buoyant monolith]

then make 2 animations

or make a event animation

[lapis crescent]

where would that be

oh okay he deleted it

[lapis crescent]

damn bro alright

[burnt nexus]

I deleted because I forgot that what I said would do absolutely nothing for it lol

[buoyant monolith]

xD, yea i was thinking that when i read it

[buoyant monolith]

there is a easy solution

but i dont recommend that option

[lapis crescent]

yeah

[buoyant monolith]

you could use the

[lapis crescent]

the

[buoyant monolith]

first animation that u using

and put a task.wait(0.4) and then animTrack:AdjustSpeed(0)

[lapis crescent]

yeah

[buoyant monolith]

that would work, and without making it loop

[burnt nexus]

I mean, this shouldn't be a problem as long as you do it right

What is the second set of keyframes even doing

[lapis crescent]

im still trying to begin animation so i started off easy with a flashlight

[lapis crescent]

they are what pull the flashlight up. after the first set. the first set was added to make it a bit slower. with easing styles.

the first set

the second

[burnt nexus]

Oh, I see the problem

just use only the second set

[lapis crescent]

please

and put it at zero right?

[burnt nexus]

Yeah

[lapis crescent]

.

i did

[burnt nexus]

Yeah, but use the ones on the right instead of getting rid of them

[lapis crescent]

now it doesnt use any easing style. or be a bit slow atleast like i want 0.5.

[burnt nexus]

Oh

I see

[lapis crescent]

i didnt get rid of them i deleted the first set and dragged the right ones to zero

[burnt nexus]

Make a second animation of it pulling the flashlight up, and have it play the holding animation after it finishes

[burnt nexus]

So basically what the other guy said lol

[lapis crescent]

alright then

[burnt nexus]

You can just use your original animation without the loop enabled for the holding animation, it'll just take a few extra lines from there

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local anim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")
local holdUpAnim = --path to your animation.

-- Load the animation
local animTrack = hum:LoadAnimation(anim)
local animTrack2 = hum:LoadAnimation(holdUpAnim)
animTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
animTrack2.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action -- overrides default tool hold
animTrack.Looped = true -- we’ll handle stopping manually

-- Play when equipped
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    animTrack2.Play()

    animTrack2.Ended:Once(function()
      if not animTrack.IsPlaying then
        animTrack:Play()
      end
    end
end)

-- Stop when unequipped
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    if animTrack.IsPlaying then
        animTrack:Stop()
    end
    if animTrack2.IsPlaying then
      animTrack2:Stop()
    end
end)
