so ive been trying to make a tool that, when equipped, puts the player into a holding animation (as other weapons in my game work this way), however, i need help making it both make the guns appear and also play the animation. right now, when i hold the tool, nothing happens, but it disappears from my inventory.

unkempt cosmos so ive been trying to make a tool that, when equipped, puts the player into a ho...

did you rig the gun properly?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

placid hollow did you rig the gun properly?

i think so

#

the gun has several parts in a model

#

and theyre all welded to the BodyAttach, which im pretty sure is jointed to the hand

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

what about other things like unanchoring and setting cancollide to false?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

all parts of the gun are cancollide false, and unanchored

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

do you have any errors?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

not sure if this is useful or not but, if i put the rig (the one im using to animate) in starterplayer as the StarterCharacter, he holds both guns (not in the animation, but theyre welded just fine to his hands

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

placid hollow do you have any errors?

sadly not

#

if i make the rig the startercharacter, then the guns are welded to its hands

#

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

can add print statements to things like bodyAttachL and bodyAttachR to see if they even exist?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

sure

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

tell me what you got in the output then

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:46 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 9! ** studio

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:46 PM

#

assuming youd do it like this

#

it doesnt return anything when i equip the tool

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:46 PM

#

oh so it doesnt event print?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

yeah, the output prints nothing

#

wait

#

hang on gimme a sec i think i know why its not printing

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

alr

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

nevermind

#

i thought taking the objects out of the mode

#

l

#

would fix it

#

#

heres how the tool is set up

#

yet nothing prints

#

which is weird

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

this must mean that either the humanoid is nil or the function doesnt even fire

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

i mean

#

#

i dont see how the humanoid can be nil

#

when its clearly there

#

and the function should fire

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:52 PM

#

hmm

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

thanks for helping btw man

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:53 PM

#

np

#

can you print char:GetChildren() just to be sure?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:54 PM

#

sure

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:54 PM

#

on the top

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

#

thats weird

#

surely there are more children

#

than just the two weapons

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

yeah thats weird

fossil slateBOT Sep 21, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 5! ** studio

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

so it only prints the tools?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

yeah

#

even though char is defined as

#

tool.Parent

#

which is the character

#

#

as you can see

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

yeah

#

maybe try to add some task.wait() at the top? maybe it needs to load or something idk

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

placid hollow maybe try to add some task.wait() at the top? maybe it needs to load or somethin...

i tried that

#

when i was testing

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

wait

#

i think i know why

#

where is the tool located before the game starts?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

StarterPack

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

add a print if there is no humanoid before return

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

thing line right here, it sets the reference at the time the game starts, which means that the tool is actually StarterPack, not the tool

#

i think this is it

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Is the script under the tool?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

placid hollow thing line right here, it sets the reference at the time the game starts, which ...

shiiiii

#

ur eight

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

hoary pecan Is the script under the tool?

yeah

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

right*

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

hoary pecan Is the script under the tool?

yeah man

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

did it work?

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

placid hollow thing line right here, it sets the reference at the time the game starts, which ...

if the tool is in starterpack its added to the backpack automatically so no need.

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

placid hollow did it work?

what would i change it to 😭

#

sorry man mb

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

unkempt cosmos yeah man

try printing before return

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

hoary pecan try printing before return

this function doesnt fiee

#

fire

#

idk why

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

unkempt cosmos what would i change it to 😭

reference tool in the onEquipped function

#

rather that at the top

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

unkempt cosmos this function doesnt fiee

thats why i'm saying this

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

hoary pecan try printing before return

i put a print in

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

Wait..

#

Tool.Equipped doesn't run on the server.

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

placid hollow reference tool in the onEquipped function

like this?

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

unkempt cosmos like this?

yeah

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

hoary pecan Tool.Equipped doesn't run on the server.

what does this mean?

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

hoary pecan Tool.Equipped doesn't run on the server.

it does run, we tested it like 5 minutes ago

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

placid hollow yeah

the tool doesnt recognise itself as being equipped

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

unkempt cosmos the tool doesnt recognise itself as being equipped

huh

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

placid hollow huh

when i equip the tool

#

the function doesnt fire

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

ye youre right

#

thisdoesnt makes sense

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

this is js so weird

placid hollow Sep 21, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

alright so maybe lets go to the previous version of the script

#

and print char.Name

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

the problem mightbe on char

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

where do i print char

#

cuz its defined in the function

#

that wont fire

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

after char

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:08 PM

#

unkempt cosmos that wont fire

and how do u know it doesn't did u add a print on top of the function?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

yes

#

literally

#

i equip it

#

and nothing happens

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

show me your current script

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

#

📎 message.txt

#

and tell me what it prints on output

#

Wait

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

literally nothing

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

the problem is not the code.

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

nothing gets printed

#

so the problem s prolly the tool

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

the problem is the tool!

#

does the tool have a handle?

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

hoary pecan the problem is the tool!

great!

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

hoary pecan does the tool have a handle?

it doesnt, however

#

waiit

#

i thought RequiresHandle was off

#

😭

#

ok lemme try now

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

Disable this

#

YESSS

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

#

HUZZAH

#

now the issue is this

#

with the local script

#

which is weird since

#

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

so does the other script work

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

the anim is in there

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

hoary pecan so does the other script work

nothing gets outputted

#

since the second i equip the tool

#

it returns the error

#

with local

hoary pecan Sep 21, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

Dumbass ofc play is not a valid member of animation look closely you said anim:Play() which is an animation you have to play the track not the anim

#

lol

unkempt cosmos Sep 21, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

AYYYYYYYY
