in the script where you play the animation it should be something like this:

local anim = workspace.Animation
local humanoid = plr.Character.Humanoid
local animtrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)

animtrack:Play()
--to stop it just
animtrack:Stop()

Thanks, this helped and I kinda already knew this the problem was I was struggling with defining variables and needed to define variables outside the function Thanks!

Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated. Please refrain from using it in posts related to animations.

Sorry, I didn’t know it was deprecated as I don’t use it at all, and only knew that it was a way to load animations.

You can still load it that way but I recommend you don’t use deprecated methods.

New LoadAnimation method is;
Humanoid:WaitForChild(“Animator”):LoadAnimation()

Try doing this (also dance it’s the animation but loaded on the humanoid)
dance:Play() wait(dance.Length) dance:Stop()
