I’m working on a melee weapon. When the tool is equipped, a holding animation is played and when it’s unequipped, the holding animation stops. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
local idleTrack
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local Character = Tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
Handle.EquipSound:Play()
if Humanoid then
local equippedAnim = Config.Animations:FindFirstChild("EquipAnim")
if idleTrack==nil then
idleTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Config.Animations.IdleAnim)
end
if equippedAnim then
local equipTrack = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(equippedAnim)
equipTrack.Looped = false
equipTrack:Play()
equipTrack.Ended:Wait()
end
if Tool.Parent == Character then
idleTrack:Play()
end
end
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
if idleTrack~=nil then
idleTrack:Stop()
print("Track stopped")
end
end)
This is only an excerpt of the code, all the variables are defined.
The holding animation works fine:
However, when I unequip the tool, the animation does not stop even though the output prints "Track stopped" as instructed in the code:
What is the problem here, how can I fix this? There is no error in the output.
make sure you are stopping a good animation, please try this and tell me if it worked
local character = game.Players.pazdanmichal2.Character --here put ur own nick
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
for _,AnimTrack in pairs(animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
AnimTrack:Stop()
end
also i found this in a different topic so if my script didn’t work please read this :)) here is a topic
After almost a year later, I have finally came up with a solution.
The animation playing script was server-sided (the script stated in topic post), triggered by LocalScripts, because I believe animations played locally would not play for other players, which I later found wrong. The issue about the script is that it loads new animations every time it is called, thus making it does not stop the animation playing, instead it stops the new one that was loaded in which it wasn’t even played yet. I later rewrote the script, playing animations in LocalScript (which actually plays the animation for other players somehow) and other server-sided tricks goes into the server-sided script, which makes the animation playing no longer an issue.
The game has been resurrected now. I appreciate all the attempts to help in the past, it is purely my fault for I did not state the problem and everything clear. I hope this bump can help new scripters somehow.
It turns out the problem is actually equipTrack.Looped = false because that line quite literally did nothing. So the equipTrack.Ended:Wait() would never end and the animation was a loop of 1 keyframe line.
