Custom animations not working | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

Could anyone explain the issue with animations in this code? It supposedly works fine with most sword models but It doesn't with mine, which for reference is an imported .fbx file from blender. Is there a quick way to fix this issue or would I need a whole new code and model to make animations work. (I know the fix is probably simple, but I am still at a very early I got no idea what I'm doing state)

this should automatically be created and be a descendant of humanoid in a character

lapis surge Feb 1, 2026, 2:58 PM

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 2:59 PM

#

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:00 PM

#

Ignore the second sound and the event, thats for the later stuff. But the code is placed on a local script and the animations there

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:00 PM

#

in ur handle is no "Slash" dumbass

#

bro

#

your local script is in the handle

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

is that an issue

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

ofc

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

waqit

#

wait

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

put the local script under "Katana"

#

and Rename the sound you like into "Slash"

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

okay hold on it worked now

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

and you will be fine i guess

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

for 1 swing

#

that is

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:01 PM

#

yea rename the sound

#

then it works

#

Rename the sound you like into "Slash"

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:02 PM

#

It was that name originally but after a ton of changing i accidentely turned it to slash

#

mb

#

i changed it now though

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:03 PM

#

works?

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:03 PM

#

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:04 PM

#

thats like 4x harder yk

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:04 PM

#

I know

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:04 PM

#

i dont recommend you to try it

#

have fun i guess

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:04 PM

#

you as well

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:05 PM

#

i give you a hint

#

@warm river

warm river Feb 1, 2026, 3:05 PM

#

sure

umbral frigate Feb 1, 2026, 3:05 PM

#

use the remote event

#

fire it when the animation played

#

after SwingTrack:Play()

#

put

#

Handle.SwingEvent:FireServer()

#

and on the server script

#

recieve the remote and make a part that damages in touch with check if player was already hit or not

#

sum like that
