Attempt to index boolean with 'Play'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I don’t understand… with a simple command on animation

animation:Play()

I get this error:
01:26:27.041 - Players.nuttela_for1me.Backpack.LocalScript:29: attempt to index boolean with ‘Play’
animation still gets played, but I just don’t like the errors in my output.

Could you show more of the script?

3 
local a4 = Instance.new("Animation", game.Workspace)
a4.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://5857108705" 
local reload = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(a4)

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
			if debounce == false and shots ~= 0 then
				currentTime = tick()
				debounce = true
				special = true
				shoot:Stop()
				idle:Stop()
				pick:Stop()
				reload:Play()
				reload.Stopped:Connect(function()
					reload = false
					special = false
					idle:Play()
				end)
			end
		end

Strange. Could you send the full script that is inside StarterPack.LocalScript?

Ow forgot to mention, that appears to happen on reload animation

That’s alright. Could you send maybe the first 50 or so?

Oh hold on,

Try making a new value for reload, you’re overriding the original variable (an animation) with a boolean.
