Emote Animations Overlapping

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’m trying to make an emote gui for my game. I put a ScrollingFrame with TextButtons inside, and inside each button is a local script and an animation. The problem is, when I test the game and I press a button, the animation does play, but after I press another button the animations overlap with eachother. How can I fix this? By the way here is the local script inside each button:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local chr = player.Character
local playing = false
local hum = chr:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animation = script:FindFirstChild("Animation")
local btn = script.Parent
local lod = hum:LoadAnimation(animation)

btn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if playing == false then
		playing = true
		lod:Play()
	else
		playing = false
		lod:Stop()
	end
end)

Combine all the scripts into one script. We can easily do this With a for loop. Here is an example:

local ScrollingFrame = script.Parent --Change this to the pathway of your button
local CurrentlyPlaying = nil
local LoadedAnimation = nil

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local chr = player.Character
local hum = chr:WaitForChild("Humanoid")


for i, Button in ScrollingFrame:GetChildren() do 
  if Button:IsA("TextButton") and Button:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animation") then
     Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
      if CurrentlyPlaying == nil then 
       CurrentlyPlaying = Button:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animation")
        LoadedAnimation = hum:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animator"):LoadAnimation(CurrentlyPlaying)
        LoadedAnimation:Play()
     elseif CurrentlyPlaying == Button:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animation") then 
       LoadedAnimation:Stop()
       LoadedAnimation = nil
       CurrentlyPlaying = nil
    else 
        LoadedAnimation:Stop()
        CurrentlyPlaying = Button:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animation")
        LoadedAnimation = hum:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Animator"):LoadAnimation(CurrentlyPlaying)
        LoadedAnimation:Play()
      end
   end
end

There should only be one of these scripts, remove/disable all your local scripts for this emote system. Each Text button should have a Animation as a child with the Proper animation for each button

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions!

Also sorry for the late reply, but my game also has custom characters, they have a humanoid with animator and everything but the emotes just don’t seem to work on them. Do you have any idea why?
(edit: I managed to figure it out, all I had to do was set the gui to reset on spawn)
