Check if animation has finished, from server?

Is there any way to find out if an animation has finished/started playing, from the server?

So I start the animation/fire the animation from the client. Is there any way to check if the animation has stopped/finished from the server - even though you didn’t fire it from the server?

Thanks!

Thanks.
But sadly this method only works on the client. And not server (if the animation is made on the client).

Thanks anyways though!

Oh yeah sorry. My bad. Try this code (tell me if there something wrong) :


local function AnimPlaying(animation)
	    if animation:IsA("AnimationTrack") then
	        if animation.IsPlaying then
	            print(animation.Name.."is playing.")
	            return true
	        else
	            print(animation.Name.."is not playing.")
	            return false
	        end
	    else
	    error(animation.Name.."must be an AnimationTrack.")
	end
	 
	AnimPlaying(animation) —Your animation

Why are you playing animation from a server?

Client - Runs animation at the player’s time (fast)
Servers - Runs animation at the servers time (slow)
