Animation won't pause correctly

Hi, I am currently working on an attack for a character which involves pausing a running animation. However, my only problem is that the animation won’t pause itself on time to stop the animation from completing. This stops the attack hitbox from appearing.

This appears to be a fairly inconsistent issue however it is consistent enough to be a problem. My current issue is that I cannot figure out why it cannot pause. I already have set the playback speed to 0 at the marker and I have also tried setting the TimePosition of the animation, however none of these are a consistent solution to the problem.


-- hitboxLoop
local hitboxLoop = coroutine.create(function()
				
				local dmgTable = {}
				
				hitboxConnection = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
					
					for _, offset in pairs(offsetTable) do
						local ray = dashRay(offset)
						
						if ray then
							local inst = ray.Instance
							local hitParent = inst.Parent
							
							if inst:IsA("WedgePart") or inst:IsA("CornerWedgePart") then
								return nil
							end

							beginCharge:Disconnect()
							longPunchChargeAnimLoaded:AdjustSpeed(1)
							longPunchChargeAnimLoaded:Stop()

							if root:FindFirstChild("punchVel") then
								root["punchVel"]:Destroy()
							end

							if hitParent and not dmgTable[hitParent] then
								dmgTable[hitParent] = true

								local hitHum = hitParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

								if hitHum and hitHum.Health > 0 then
									hitSomething = true

									damageEvent:FireServer(hitHum, dmg.Value * 4, chr)
									statusEvent:FireServer(hitHum, "stun", 2.5)
									knockbackEvent:FireServer(hitHum, 150, 14)
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end)
				
			end)

-- Marker Event
local beginCharge
beginCharge = longPunchChargeAnimLoaded:GetMarkerReachedSignal("startAttack"):Connect(function()
				
				beginCharge:Disconnect()
				
				longPunchChargeAnimLoaded:AdjustSpeed(0)
				
				coroutine.resume(hitboxLoop)
				
				for _,pe in pairs(thrusterParticles:GetChildren()) do
					if pe:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
						pe.Enabled = true
					end
				end
				
				local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
				bv.Name = "punchVel"
				bv.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1,0,1) * 39999
				bv.Velocity = root.CFrame.LookVector * 100
				
				bv.Parent = root
				
				--for count = 1,5 do
				--	bv.Velocity *= 0.6
				--	task.wait(0.1)
				--end
				
				task.wait(0.4)
				
				bv:Destroy()
				
				longPunchChargeAnimLoaded:AdjustSpeed(1)
				longPunchChargeAnimLoaded:Stop()
			end)

longPunchChargeAnimLoaded.Stopped:Connect(function()
				coroutine.close(hitboxLoop)
				
				for _,pe in pairs(thrusterParticles:GetChildren()) do
					if pe:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
						pe.Enabled = false
					end
				end
				
				hitboxConnection:Disconnect()
				
				longPunchHitAnimLoaded:Play()
			end)
