Character running animation doesn't stop when using track:Stop()

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

For some reason the default running animation track doesn’t stop when using track:Stop() despite track:Stop() working for other animations.

Happens when you anchor the player while they’re moving and their animation keeps playing.

for _, track in animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() do				
	track:Stop()
end

I’ve also tried it with the humanoid instead of the animator, and it changed nothing.
I’ve set the WalkSpeed to 0 too and it changed nothing.

try instead of looping in all animations just get animation and play it

I was able to replicate this issue, and I suspect that it’s happening due to the network ownership of the player’s character changing to the server when they’re anchored

I tried stopping the AnimationTracks on the server-side (I also tried stopping them both on the client-side and the server-side), but the run animation continued to play

The only solution I found is to prevent the character from moving by setting their Humanoid’s WalkSpeed and JumpHeight to 0, instead of anchoring them

Oddly enough, it doesn’t work if you do so in a LocalScript, as the run animation would also continue to play (I don’t know why this is happening, though)

Using a server script fixed the issue for me :slight_smile::+1:

This is the exact script I used to test:

-- server script in serverscriptservice
local Players = game:GetService("Players")


local function onPlayerAdded(player: Player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
	task.wait(4) -- to give me time to start walking

	player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	player.Character.Humanoid.JumpHeight = 0

	local animator = player.Character.Humanoid.Animator:: Animator

	for _, track in animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() do
		track:Stop()
	end

	print("tracks should be stopped now")
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
