Can't stop walking animation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want the walking animation of my character to stop when the jumpscare animation plays.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The walking animation keeps playing even though I scripted it to stop. The walking animation kinda plays as the jumpscare animation plays

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I’ve tried messing around with the animation priorities. No other problems seems to match mine

Script:
while true do
wait(1)
script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild(“Animation2”)):Play()
wait(5)
script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild(“Animation2”)):Stop()
script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild(“Animation3”)):Play()
end

Remember, you are using a loop, no matter what, it will repeat unless stopped

Here is a possible fix:

local Hum = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local A2 = Hum:LoadAnimation(script.Animation2)
local A3 = Hum:LoadAnimation(script.Animation3)

While true do
wait(1)
A2:Play()
Wait(5)
A2:Stop()
A3:Play()

I am trying stop the animation. Animation2 is the walk animation and Animation3 is the jumpscare animation. I just don’t know how to fix this.

The animation is inside a while true script. After Animation3 Plays, it immediately goes back to wait(1) and then replays Animation2.
EDIT: Just reread what you mean, you should use Humanoid.Animator to load animations. After that, you can use Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() to get a table containing all playing animations and just stop them.

I know, It’s just that right when the jumpscare plays, the walking animation doesn’t stop when I tell it to.

No it worked fine. There was some minor errors such as not an “end” to close the while loop and “While” with capital w.
