Animation Errors

[theworkbranch (MET_yamam)]

local holding = script.Parent.Holding
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=16571466944"
repeat wait() until game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid

if script.Parent.Equipped then
	game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation):Play()
end

if script.Parent.Unequipped then
	animation:Stop()
end

This is my first time using proper animations.
I get these errors:
StarterPack.BatteringRam.Script:4: attempt to index nil with ‘Humanoid’
Stop is not a valid member of Animation “Animation”
I’m going to be honest, I have no clue why this happens.

I may seem annoying for not looking into documentation(I did, wasn’t so helpful)

lol i was getting same errors when i was really really beginner on scripting animations so i feel you. you should do it like

local animtrack = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
if script.Parent.Equipped then
	animtrack:Play()
end

if script.Parent.Unequipped then
	animtrack:Stop()
end

thanks for knowing the pain.
but, i either way had to completely change the script, because i needed to add a new functions for something! but, i’m in middle of fixing it right now, so ill use this script to help. thanks btw!

also can you tick it as solved after checking?

i think you should put the LoadAnimation:(animation) in a variable like

local Animation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)

then you could do Animation:Stop()

[How4rdy (Ward)]

This should work(correct me if im wrong)

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local holding = script.Parent.Holding
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = ""-- your animation id

local Anim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)

if script.Parent.Equipped then
	Anim:Play()
end

if script.Parent.Unequipped then
	Anim:Stop()
end

@How4rdy
none of these responses ended up helping(to be honest), but the issue was very simple, and just something i somehow did not notice!
it had to be: script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
instead of: if script.Parent.Equipped then

but thanks for trying

[How4rdy (Ward)]

oh sorry i guess i was wrong my bad

This script ended up fixing it:

local holding = script.Parent.Holding
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=16602882758"
repeat wait() until game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character and game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local animationload	= game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	animationload:Play()
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	animationload:Stop()
end)

Thanks for everyone who tried!
