Attempt to index nil with 'Stop'

[Matheus_BaixaMemoria (Shoto_Todoroki)]

Hello
i tried to make a simple script that when a player press button a lopped idle animation start and when player press it agein its stop

attempt to index nil with 'Stop'

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local idle = script.idle
local idleAnim
local deb = false
local eqd = false


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, istyping)
	if istyping then return end
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and deb == false and eqd == false then
		deb = true
		eqd = true
		local idleAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(idle)
		idleAnim:Play()
		wait(0.3)
		deb = false
	elseif Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T and deb == false and eqd == true then
		deb = true
		eqd = false
		local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
		local Character = Player.Character
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		idleAnim:Stop()
		deb = false
	end

i tried to make the idle animation separed of the rest of the script but dont work, and this script that i show its just showing the parts that need to be fixed is not the entire script.

Its on R6.

sorry i forgot to say but the error is on idleAnim:Stop() in elseif

[Matheus_BaixaMemoria (Shoto_Todoroki)]

hey what did you change, i dont really understand

[MrFinkyDoodles]

in the if statement when you put

local idleAnim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(idle)

you set it as local which basically means that only in that if statement had the variable change and not the whole script, so you just remove the local

                if idleAnim ~= nil then
		idleAnim:Stop()
                idleAnim = nil
                end
		deb = false
	end

Try This maybe the input function is executing too fast
