this script manages controls for an npc, if certain values are turned on or off this script performs actions. after adding animations for the npc to use I noticed an error:“AnimationTrack limit of 256 tracks for one animator exceeded. no new tracks will be played”. what is the cause and how can I fix it?

Animation Exceed?

These lines are the cause. Use LoadAnimation just once for each animation (outside the loop) and then :Play that animation as many times as you need to.
