Step 1: Prepare the Tool

   • Publish the animation to Roblox and copy the animation ID.

Step 3: Implement the Script

1. Prepare the Tool:

   • Place the Tool inside the StarterPack so it starts in the player's inventory.

2. Add the Animation:

   • Create a Local Script inside the Tool.
   • Inside the Local Script, create an Animation object.
   • Paste the copied animation ID into the Animation object.

3. Script Setup:

   • Access the Tool and set up the Player and Humanoid references.
   • Load the animation and play it when the Tool is equipped.

-- Local Script Content
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local anim = script:WaitForChild("Animation")

local animationTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    animationTrack:Play()
end)
