making a lightsaber block function in a module
the animation plays but it doesn’t stop although it prints it stopped here is the script

function lightsaber.Block(player)
	
	local animation = game.ServerStorage.Animations.Blocks.Block:Clone()
	local hum = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local animator = hum:WaitForChild("Animator") or Instance.new("Animator", hum)
	local animtoplay = animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

	if isequipped then
		if player.Character.Humanoid:GetAttribute("Blocking", true) then
			player.Character.Humanoid:SetAttribute("Blocking", false)
			if player.Character.Humanoid:GetAttribute("Blocking") == false then
				animtoplay:Stop()
				animtoplay:Destroy()
				print("Blocking Is False")
			end
		else
			player.Character.Humanoid:SetAttribute("Blocking", true)
			print("Blocking IS True")
			animtoplay:Play()
		end
	else
		return
	end
end

I’m pretty sure every time you run the function it creates a new animation. This would mean that unblocking would just delete the animation created in that calling of the function, not the one created before when the block started.

Store the animation instance: Add an attribute to the humanoid to store the animation instance.

Checking For Blocking: Change the check to directly look for Blocking without setting it to true in the condition.

Potential Issue: make sure the animtoplay:Stop() is effectively referenced before destroying it.
