Animation Won't Stop

#1

I am attempting to stop the animation, I’ve tried all of the solutions I know which is just rearranging code. It does not give me any output.

local animation = otherPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.Handcuffed)

Every time the event is fired you make a new AnimationTrack and play that one, losing the old animation variable and not being able to stop it.
Instead you should load the animation once for the other player and then store it somewhere (probably in a table), then play and stop that loaded animation.

Example:

local loadedAnimations = {} -- store animations here

-- Tie:
if not loadedAnimations[otherPlayer] then
	-- load the animation if it hasn't been loaded
	loadedAnimations[otherPlayer] = otherPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Animations.Handcuffed)
end
loadedAnimations[otherPlayer]:Play()

-- Untie:
if loadedAnimations[otherPlayer] then
	-- stop the animation if there is one
	-- (no need to stop the animation if it doesn't even exist)
	loadedAnimations[otherPlayer]:Stop()
end
