why when i make tools by myself, and try to load an animation it doesnt work.

[wild prairie]

and when i try to do it with a tool that was taken from toolbox it works perfectly fine

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

tool.Enabred = true

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://80002156809870" 

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    print("Activated")

    local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
    track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
    track:Play()

end)```

** You are now Level 5! **

Are you sure the animation is public/it’s been uploaded?

[wild prairie]

yea

[modest coyote]

tool.Enabred = true

EnaBRED

[wild prairie]

i changed but it still wont worki mean animation wont load

[modest coyote]

oh

hold on

i see now

you didnt parent the animation

[wild prairie]

still doesnt work

[modest coyote]

send current script

[wild prairie]

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

tool.Enabled = true

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.Parent = tool
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://80002156809870" 


tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    print("Activated")

    local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

    local track = animator:LoadAnimation(anim)
    track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
    track:Play()

end)```

wrong bodytype maybe, animation is r15, but your r6

[wild prairie]

animation r6 and character r6 idk whats wrong

[zinc bough]

Is there a reason this is on the client

You should just do character = tool.parent

Idk if that's gonna fix it not playing

[modest coyote]

not at all, if this is on the client he can just paste the variables outside of the function

its pretty much safer

then just replace character if player's character was readded

[zinc bough]

He probably just doesn't have access to the animation

That's my theory

[wild prairie]

nope i published it by myself it still wouldnt work, i dont know how but when i make tool myslelf i just cant do an animation with it but when i take tool from toolbox everything works perfectly fine

[zinc bough]

do print(animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) after you play the track

also remove the priorityt

thats already set when you publish the animation

[neon bluff]

First of all make this a local script

And then, player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

[wild prairie]

it prints: {...}

it is local script

[neon bluff]

Can u open it?

[wild prairie]

yea: [1] = ToolNoneAnim,
[2] = WalkAnim,
[3] = RunAnim,
[4] = Animation

[winged void]

Your Local Script sits inside the Tool. This works.

[neon bluff]

Define the local track before the .activated

Because rn it's trying to load it again every time it's activated

Which is basically unnecessary work
