Animation is constantly looping no matter what

I think I might be going crazy! I have been stumped on this for over an hour and I don’t know if its my brain shutting down f rom being awake for almost 24 hours or some weird bizzare bug on Roblox’s end.

So, I’m trying to play an animation. However, no matter what I do it seems to loop no matter what. The bizzare thing is that the .Stopped event still fires when the animation finishes its first playback.

I’ve made sure that I disabled the loop property before uploading the animation to Roblox and I’ve also explicitly set the loop property to false in the script.

Here is my code snippet:

        local boxGrabTrack: AnimationTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(boxGrabAnimation)
        boxGrabTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
        boxGrabTrack.Looped = false
        boxGrabTrack:Play()
        boxGrabTrack.Stopped:Wait() -- This event ends up firing.
        boxGrabTrack:Destroy()

where the animation stop you could put

local anims = humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()
for _,v in pairs(anims) do
	v:Stop()
v:Destroy()
end

If you’re going to reply to a post, please read it first. Your reply is very unhelpful to the poster.

EDIT: Thank you for considering my words.

I’m already stopping and destroying the animation track.

as far as I know changing the looped property through a script might not replicate to the client
I think changing the priority has the same issue too

Worked for me. Thank you!

Yeah Roblox has always had issues with the looped and priority properties replicating properly. However, what I’m completely stumped is that I explicitly set the looped property to false when uploading the animation to Roblox’s website. This issue has never happened to me until now.

this gets all non-default player animations that are playing and stops and removes them

Hi. As I stated previously, please read someones post before you reply! :slight_smile:

I am aware of what :GetPlayingAnimationTracks() does. But I am stopping the track already, so looping through all other animation tracks and stopping those as well does not resolve the problem (yes, I even tried that snippet).

Seems like I fixed the issue. When I uploaded it as a new animation instead of updating the already existing animation, it magically started working as intended.

This is what happened I’m guessing which lead to this issue: When I uploaded the animations to the Roblox website initially, I likely forgot to set the looped property in the animation editor to false. I’m assuming that when I repeatedly tried overwriting the same animation with it not being looped, the website didn’t want to update it.

If my suspicions are correct and I can reproduce this, I’ll probably file a bug report.
