Animation wont stop after using Stop()

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So im trying to make an animation (which is playing on an NPC) to stop playing by using Stop()
currently they just override eachother and makes a huge mess

the following code is in a module script

local Anim = NPC.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(NPC.Down)
Anim:Play()

later in the code i want the animation to stop looping

DownAnim:Stop()

if you need any more context im willing to share

#2

Full script? Give us some more context.

#3 
		local DownAnim = NPC.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(NPC.Down)
		DownAnim:Play()

		local Damaged = false
		NPC.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
			if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				if Damaged ~= true then
					local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)

					if Player then
						Damaged = true

						local Highlight = NPC.Highlight
						Highlight.OutlineColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
						Highlight.FillColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
						Highlight.FillTransparency = 0
						Highlight.OutlineTransparency = 0

						task.delay(0.1, function()
							Highlight.OutlineColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
							Highlight.FillColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
							Highlight.FillTransparency = 1
							Highlight.OutlineTransparency = 0
						end)
						
						DownAnim:Stop()
						Down = false
						CanTP = true
						CanAttack = true
					end
				end
			end
		end)

Could you record what it looks like ingame? What’s the animations priority?

#5

sadly i dont have any programms (or capabilities) to record

but i can describe it:

all the animations play all together making the npc just end up in the average position of every frame

i hope this helps

#6

whats DownAnim’s priority? if its below or the same as the other animations priority it will overlap.

#7

i honestly forgot to set the animation priority to 4 thanks for the help
