How do I make a animation play when i use the Left mouse button?

[cosmic glacier]

Very new to scripting and i figured out how to make keybinds play anims but not the mouse

im not sure how optimal it is since im kind of a beginner too, but this about how id do it

local inputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- get the input service

local character = script.Parent -- meaning the script is inside the characters model
local animator = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):WaitForChild("Animator") -- the object you will need to play the anim on

local newAnimationObject = Instance.new("Animation")
local animationID = "rbxassetid://YOUR_ID" -- your ID
newAnimationObject.AnimationId = animationID -- set the animation ID
newAnimationObject.Parent = script -- parents the newly created "Animation" object to the script

local loadedAnim = animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("Animation")) -- load the animation, pretty sure it's better to do it outside the function
loadedAnim.Looped = false

local animPlaying = false -- a value like what you used

local function playAnimation() -- a function we can call by doing "playAnimation()", anything inside plays
    if script:FindFirstChild("Animation") and not animPlaying then
-- if the animation object is found AND animPlaying is false (adding not checks for a false return while "... and animPlaying" checks for a true return)
        animPlaying = true -- set to true to avoid the function running twice
        print("Animation object found", script.Animation) -- puts a msg in the output for debugging)
        loadedAnim:Play() -- play the animation that loaded in line 4 
        else
        warn("Animation object not found")
    end
    animPlaying = false -- resets the value for the next valid use
end

game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Button1Down:Connect(playAnimation) -- call the function when the player clicks

i tried to explain it and i tested it w/ my own anim

Wtf is this

Why don't u just make the animation manually and set it's id and name, the code would look much cleaner
