Hello everyone, so today I made a script that plays an animation on a tool, when you click the animation plays, and we you unequip the tool, the animation stops. Heres the thing, if I click multiple times, the animation doesnt end, it just restart everytime I click. I would like to make it so you cant restart the animation till it ended, if anybody could help me, I would appreciate it, thank you!

Heres the script:

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
	Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	local animation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)
		animation:Play()
		wait(1)
		animation:Stop()
	end)
end)

local animation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animation)

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

Add an if statement.

Edit: This isn’t going to work, because you are apparently creating a new animationtrack every time.

if not animation.IsPlaying then
	animation:Play()
	wait(1)
	animation:Stop()
end

Try replacing your script with this:

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

local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")

if not animator then
    animator = Instance.new("Animator")
    animator.Parent = humanoid
end

local animation = animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animation"))

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    animation:Play()
    wait(1)
    animation:Stop()
end)

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

Still the same problem, when I click while the animation is running, it restarts again

Then implement debounce:

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

local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")

if not animator then
    animator = Instance.new("Animator")
    animator.Parent = humanoid
end

local animation = animator:LoadAnimation(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animation"))
local debounce = false

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true
        animation:Play()
        wait(1)
        animation:Stop()
        debounce = false
    end
end)

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

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local tool = script.Parent
local animInstance = tool.Animation

local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local char = plr.Character

local animTrack = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(animInstance)
local ancestryChangedConn, equippedConn, unequippedConn, mouseConn


local function onClick()
	if not animTrack.IsPlaying then
		animTrack:Play()
		wait(1)
		animTrack:Stop()
	end
end

local function onEquipped()
	mouseConn = mouse.Button1Down:Connect(onClick)
end

local function onUnEquipped()
	mouseConn:Disconnect()
	animTrack:Stop()
end

local function onAncestryChanged(_, parent)
	if not parent then
		ancestryConn:Disconnect()
		equippedConn:Disconnect()
		unEquippedConn:Disconnect()
		mouseConn:Disconnect()
	end
end

equippedConn = tool.Equipped:Connect(onEquipped)
unEquippedConn = tool.UnEquipped:Connect(onUnEquipped)
ancestryChangedConn = char.AncestryChanged:Connect(onAncestryChanged)

It works perfectly! Thank you so much
