Connections and how to change the script

[Edenaxic]

1. What I want to achieve? Equipping fist plays the animation, but unequipping would stop the animations

2. What is the issue? If you quickly equip/unequip sometimes the animation does not stop (I know why, cus of wait and that it plays after it tries to stop it, but how do I not let it play, in a more optimised way… I tried connections but it just deletes (as I understood) the “equipped” event)

local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local Debris = game:GetService('Debris')
local tool = script.Parent
local character = tool.Parent.Parent.Character
local HRP = character:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart')
local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
local Animator = Humanoid:WaitForChild('Animator')
local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

local animations = {
	['Equip'] = Animator:LoadAnimation(RS.Animations.Fist1.FistEquip);
	['FistHit1'] = Animator:LoadAnimation(RS.Animations.Fist1.FistHit1);
	['FistIdle'] = Animator:LoadAnimation(RS.Animations.Fist1.FistIdle);
}

local Equipped = false

local connection

connection = tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if Humanoid:GetAttribute('Stunned') == 0 then
		Equipped = true
		animations['Equip']:Play(0, 12)
		local FistEquipSFX = RS.Sounds.Fist.FistEquip:Clone()
		FistEquipSFX.Parent = character
		FistEquipSFX:Play()
		Debris:AddItem(FistEquipSFX, FistEquipSFX.TimeLength)
		wait(0.3)
		animations['FistIdle']:Play(0, 12)
	else
		Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Equipped = false
	--soundplay
	connection:Disconnect()
	animations['Equip']:Stop()
	animations['FistIdle']:Stop()
end)

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if Humanoid:GetAttribute('Stunned') == 0 and Equipped == true then
		print('trying okay')
		animations['FistHit1']:Play(0, 14, 1)
		--soundplay
	end
end)

Oh and also, I don’t really understand how weight of animation works… i.e: Here if you try to M1 it won’t play FistHit1, even tho it prints “trying okay”

Found out the issue months ago, learn about animation priorities.
