So I made a script that changes your running animation, but then if you update the animation it wont change until you stop running and run again, please help.

Can you give more context to this by showing your script or something?

#3 
local c = script.Parent
local h = c:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animate = c:WaitForChild("Animate")


while wait() do
	
	if game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerValues.MomentumState.Value == 1 then
		animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerAnimation.LightRun.AnimationId
		h.WalkSpeed = 8
		end
	if game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerValues.MomentumState.Value == 3 then
		h.WalkSpeed = 30

		animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerAnimation.HRun.AnimationId
		end
	if game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerValues.MomentumState.Value == 2 then
		animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerAnimation.LightRun.AnimationId
		h.WalkSpeed = 20
		end
	
	if h.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0,0,0) and game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerValues.Crouching.Value ~= true then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerValues.MomentumState.Value = 2
		animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerAnimation.LightRun.AnimationId
	end
	
	if h.WalkSpeed == 20 then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerValues.MomentumState.Value = 2
		animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerAnimation.LightRun.AnimationId
	end
	
	
	end

Here.

Why not just play different animation instances and stop the old one?

#5

I mean, I’m not sure, but I wanna stick to one thing, is there anyway I can update the walking animation?

Maybe try stopping and replaying the same instance when you update the ID? I don’t really know cause I’ve never tested it out, but another question: Is the walkspeed changing or is the just the anim that’s not?

#7

Oh, It’s just the animation that isn’t updating.

Then you should probably do what I said, use play a different anim instance and stop the old one. I also recommend to use :GetPropertyChangedSignal instead of while wait() do.

So slight problem, because of the loop the animation freezes.

What you could probably do is check if the animation is already being played or not. If it is, then return.

Sorta like this:

 if Animation.IsPlaying then
      return
elseif not Animation.IsPlaying then
     Animation:Play()
     h.WalkSpeed = WalkSpeed
end
