First Animation Loop Doesn't Fire Animation Event

Basically put, the first time that an animation plays it doesn’t run fire the event.

What I mean:

The first time you try to throw the ball, the animation doesn’t fire the event.
However any time after the first one, it is fired.

I’ve tried connecting the event before the animation plays but it doesn’t get first fired anyways.
But other than that, I have no idea how to fix it.

Before you see my code, it’s on the server because it’s just simpler to have it there if I’m both verifying the attack and tying the animation to the attack.

Code 
local anmtr = char.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
	if anmtr then
		local throwA = anmtr:LoadAnimation(rHThrow)
		local ev = throwA:GetMarkerReachedSignal("RightHandRelease"):Connect(function()
			--prep
			local mouseP = gMouse:InvokeClient(plr)
			
			--creation of ball
			local bball = lib.createEffectBall(char) --module script that returns a ball parented to character
			bball.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
			bball.Position = char.RightHand.CFrame.Position - (char.RightHand.CFrame.RightVector*0.35) - (char.RightHand.CFrame.UpVector*0.5)
			bball.Transparency = 0.25
			
			--send it towards the mouse
			local hit, pos = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(Ray.new(bball.Position, (mouseP - bball.Position)*2), {bball, char})
			if hit then
				local d = (pos - bball.Position).Magnitude
				local anInfo = TweenInfo.new(d/aOrbSpeed, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
				local anim = tws:Create(bball, anInfo, {Position = pos})
				anim:Play()
				game.Debris:AddItem(bball, d/aOrbSpeed)
			else
				bball:Destroy()
			end
		end)
		throwA:Play(0.1)
		wait(throwA.Length + 0.1)
		ev:Disconnect()
	end

Exploiters would like to have a word with you.

gmouse.OnClientInvoke = function() end

Your server-side code is now permanently hung.

That aside, have you attempted to debug this through the use of print statements? Are there any cases where the first run of the animation differs from the second, other than the green ball supposedly not showing up? Consider the mouseP variable as well as any external factors before this code runs.

Actually, its inside an event. So the only thread hung is that event which is shortly disconnected, and then that’s their problem.

I wouldn’t know what else is going on. The only wild cards involved are: the module “lib”, the Remote Function, and the animation event. But there aren’t any errors coming by. I’ve placed a print statement inside the event and after the play of the animation, and the event prints only after the second time. The play prints every time. What..?
