I forgot to add, if you want the animation to stop playing when you jump, just add a line into the while loop in the server script “if humanoid.Jump == true then” and then stop the idle animation and the walk animation.

[@cool_blox3877]

can you open source it?

[@Varli7]

it didnt work

Thanks btw I know im late but do you know how to fix the bug where the walk animation plays after you unequip the tool?

[@zion-fs5kh]

finnaly, you saved my life (time)

[@GalactialStudiosOfficial]

@@Spacemanjamie go to the Unequipped Part and write " script.Parent.Unequipped:Once(function()
walkanim:Stop()

end)" and when the player enequip the tool the walk anim will stop.

[@Quick-rm1pu]

OMG thank you so much i was asking for that and now you made a guide , thx keep going your going to help alot of roblox devs and maybe some decent game will come out with your help.

Part 2 SPRINTING!!!!!!!!! Come back you are the best!! Continue being so helpful!!!!!🎉

[@Enigmatic-v83]

You have to use userinput to check if the player is holding down/clicked the shift key to raise the speed and change the animation

I've been trying to add an animation to a stupid tool for about 3hrs, this saved me, ty

[@braskuza]

to anyone having trouble with the animation still playing after unequipped:
i revised it, this script should work

local equipped = false
local idleanim, walkanim
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local char = tool.Parent
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

equipped = true

idleanim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.CoffeeIdle)
idleanim:Play()

local idle = true
local walking = false

while equipped do
if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude ~= 0 then
print("Walking")
idleanim:Stop()

if not walking then
walking = true

I'm trying to make an intermediate sword, would you mind making a video on that next?
All other videos that show how to make swords are basic simple ones with one animation and no blocking, so i was wondering if you could take my video request?
It's okay if not :))
