help with animating combat

[daring fractal]

i just did this simple animation and i was wondering how should i play it on code, i already have the system for running the attack script when i press a button, but, idk how to put a sword on his hand

the animation will run on a rig applied to the player using the applydescription thing, so idk how to put a sword alr on the avatar and just animate it with the rig

idk if i should spawn the sword when the attack starts and move it with the rig

just attaching it to the player hand wont make a good movement too

[daring fractal]

(idk how to do this too)

[distant tangle]

you could just watch a tutorial

but uh it's quite simple

basically

you just export it

save the id

make a animation thingy

then make the script

i'll tell you later what to put in there

first do allat

oh nvm

you alreaady got that

to put a sword in his hand

you gotta remake the whole animation or just do a script that moves the sword with the arm

if you gon' remake the sword animation you can use a plugin that welds your sword with the arm while keeping it animatable or just do it yourself but it's a bit of a mess

i don't know if it works on that animator

since i use moon animator

[daring fractal]

every rig that i run the animation will have the sword?

[daring fractal]

cuz i cant put the sword on the rig (i think)

i mean i can

[distant tangle]

yes

if you make it a tool

[daring fractal]

but when i apply the humanoid description (to change the player avatar to it ykyk) the sword disappears

[distant tangle]

and use this exact tool on the rig you're animating

then yeah it should work easily

[daring fractal]

ohhh so that will be a lot easier

[distant tangle]

i mean that's how i do it in moon animator

i have 0 idea how it works in the roblox studio trash ahh animator

[daring fractal]

how?

[distant tangle]

just duplicate it

and weld it to the arm you want to animate with

check out a tutorial on how to weld it and stuff

they are not that long

[daring fractal]

but it doesnt go to the player avatar when i apply it with the humanoid description

** You are now Level 1! **

[daring fractal]

is there a way to add it before the animation?

and then delete it again when it ends

[distant tangle]

well if you want to do that

[brazen stump]

** You are now Level 3! **

[distant tangle]

you'd need to use scripts for that

to clone it

give it to him

play the animation

and then once it ends

delete it

[daring fractal]

hmmmm thx thx

ill try

[daring fractal]

@distant tangle i tried something

animation is running

no sword tho

if AbilityName == "Slash" then
        local Sword = game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapons.KrisSword:Clone()
        Sword.Parent = Character

        local oldWeld = Sword:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Motor6D", true)
        if oldWeld then
            oldWeld:Destroy()
        end

        local RightArm = Character:WaitForChild("Right Arm")
        local BodyAttach = Sword:WaitForChild("BodyAttach")

        local weld = Instance.new("Motor6D")
        weld.Name = "RightGrip"
        weld.Part0 = RightArm
        weld.Part1 = BodyAttach
        weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
        weld.Parent = RightArm

        local Animation = game.ServerStorage.Animations.Kris.Slash
        local Slash = Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)

        Slash:Play()
        SS.Kris.KrisSlash:Play()

        Slash.Stopped:Connect(function()
            Sword:Destroy()
        end)

the animation runs but theres no sword
