Help with stopping an animation

Reset it while it’s in the for loop? Wouldn’t that maybe crash it or something?

#42

That’s in a loop? and just making sure is that in a module script as well?

#43

The script in the original post is in a server sided function which is in a module script, it includes a for loop

#44

Alright and that for loop is this or is there more I’m not seeing? v

	for i, v in pairs(AnimationTracks) do
		v:Stop()
	end

I ran the script again and this time the wielding animation did get printed, also only that for loop. I’ve also tried stopping the animation on both the client and server.

So it’s seeing the animation for wielding the sword, can you test it a few more times to make sure that it still sees it, if so it’s a completely different Issue than I had begun to think it was.

#47

I think I have a method of fixing this, wait.

Alright, this is what I did. I made an RE and fired it to the client when the player was disequipping an item. The client then (in a different script in StarterCharacterScripts) stopped all animation tracks and called the reset function.

Thanks to @helperobc, @KhanPython, and @goldenstein64 for helping.

If you need help with this feel free to pm me, even if this topic is old.

Local script I added:

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("StopAnimation").OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	if not Player.Character then return end
		local AnimationTracks = Player.Character.Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()
	for i, v in pairs(AnimationTracks) do
		v:Stop()
	end
	local AH = Player.AnimationHolder
	AH.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://3703950890"
	Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(AH):Play()
end)
