local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local cooldown = 0
local busy = false
local baseName = tool.Name

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    tool.Parent = player.Backpack
    if busy or cooldown > 0 then return end
    busy = true
    rs.Abilities.Events.GroundSmash:FireServer()

    local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local humanoid = plr.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    if not humanoid then return end
    local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
    local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
    animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://93072075328621"

    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)
    if track then
        print("track valid")
        track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
        track:Play()
    end

    track.Stopped:Connect(function()
        print("ani ended")
        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 18
        humanoid.JumpPower = 50
        humanoid.AutoRotate = true
    end)

    cooldown = 5
    for i = cooldown, 0, -1 do
        tool.Name = baseName .. " (" .. i .. ")"
        task.wait(1)
    end
    tool.Name = baseName

anything on the output?

#

try printing the animation length after you play it

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:06 PM

#

animation length?

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:06 PM

#

hallow blade anything on the output?

it says the track is valid and if I print smth out after play it also prints that

#

also the track.stopped never fires

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:06 PM

#

vague mauve animation length?

print(track.Length)

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:07 PM

#

kk

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:07 PM

#

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:07 PM

#

hallow blade print(track.Length)

wth 0??

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:07 PM

#

vague mauve wth 0??

then the animation is not loading

#

are you the owner of the animation?

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:08 PM

#

yup

#

just published it

#

the priority is action

#

dunno if that matters much tho

#

should I try to publish it again?

#

I did publish it with a plugin

#

although still the roblox procedures

#

so don't think it'd affect much

#

but I'l ltry with the roblox's official animation player and publish it form there

lean stone Jan 9, 2026, 9:09 PM

#

hallow blade are you the owner of the animation?

if u didnt have access it would have an error

#

like 403

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:09 PM

#

wait I tried to play the animation agian this time it said 0.666666666

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:09 PM

#

lean stone like 403

nope

#

it just published it

lean stone Jan 9, 2026, 9:09 PM

#

vague mauve wait I tried to play the animation agian this time it said 0.666666666

did u see it play

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:10 PM

#

wait

#

no I didn't

#

but the animation length prints out right now

#

it's 40 frames and it prints out 0.6666666 which is 40/60

#

still can't see animation tho

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:10 PM

#

vague mauve anybody got an idea why my animation won't play is there anything wrong in the c...

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:11 PM

#

vague mauve anybody got an idea why my animation won't play is there anything wrong in the c...

you are using tool.Parent = player.Backpack to unnequip it?

lean stone Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

yea

#

sure

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

hallow blade you are using tool.Parent = player.Backpack to unnequip it?

yep

studio ** You are now Level 3! ** studio

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

aight brb

lean stone Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

hallow blade you are using tool.Parent = player.Backpack to unnequip it?

it should still run i think

lucid tundraBOT Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

lean stone Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

but maybe putting it at the bottom of the function

#

could fix it

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

lean stone it should still run i think

prob not

#

because it will break the humanoid

#

when you unnequip and equip a tool

#

strange thigns happen with the humanoid

#

you could use thsi insteadf

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:12 PM

#

aight let me try removing it rq

lean stone Jan 9, 2026, 9:13 PM

#

oh

#

i did forget about that ngl

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:13 PM

#

but yea as sparkie says even with that it should play

#

but maybe that is the issue

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:13 PM

#

nope still nth even tho I don't unequip

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:13 PM

#

because the track length did print

lean stone Jan 9, 2026, 9:14 PM

#

vague mauve nope still nth even tho I don't unequip

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:14 PM

#

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:15 PM

#

hallow blade Jan 9, 2026, 9:15 PM

#

vague mauve Jan 9, 2026, 9:15 PM

#
