Getting an animation track by name (or animation)? And why is it not using the animation I set?

So I’m trying to get the default walking animation track of the player through script. I don’t know any good ways to do this so I decided to do some experimenting:

		while wait() do
			for _, v in pairs(char.Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
				print(v.Name)
			end
		end

I put this method to look for the desired animation track and I did get something:

This is the supposed name of the animation track, so I develop the code into this:

local animTrack
while wait() do
	for _, v in pairs(char.Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
		print(v.Name)
		if v.Name == "WalkAnim" then
			animTrack = v
			print("FOUND")
			break
		end
	end
	if animTrack then
		break
	end
end

And, It works:

But when I try use it here:

animTrack:GetMarkerReachedSignal("Footstep"):Connect(function()
	print("Stepped!")
end)

…nothing happens. To verify, I check if the animationtrack’s animationid is the one I set, it is:

So why does nothing happen? Is there even a better way of going about this?
