How to change standart animations for a tool

[wind bough]

I wqnt to make a sword with its own animations but i dont have any idea how to implement them correctly any advice?

[shrewd pine]

you can play any animations using
humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(anim) -- anim is an animation instance

tools have in built events

equipped, activated

on equipped you can play a equip animation

then play an idle

however if you want walking or running, you can check if a player is moving

I would try find if the humanoid has a velocity value somewhere and then checking if the magnitude of that is greater than 0.1

then I would play a walking animation

hope this answers your question @wind bough

Yes thanks, but is this the only way?

search up on dev forum

I would go and do smth like this

If you want to change the default hand out animation then change the toolnone animation id that's locate in the animation local script in character

But if iwant to change every animation, like walk jump etc

The animate script has every single roblox animation that your character can play in the game
