:Destroy() and culling references, seperate things!

Unfortunately no.

One important thing to keep in mind is that unlike in C/C++ lua does not allow you to deallocate any memory yourself, this is all done automatically. That means fixing memory leaks is a bit harder to do in lua and memory cannot instantly be cleared up when you want it to.

You would have to keep track of all references. Though I must question why would you have another reference to the animation track?

@edenojack

Which brings up something I didn’t realize before, calling :Destroy() on an object doesn’t null all references to it, just locks some functionality until all references to it are nulled.

This makes sense since your variable contains reference to the track, Roblox would probably have to null the variable from the stack/environment or something which is heavily intrusive to code imo.
