How can i unload an animation?

[ScxiptedShark (James)]

Hello!

I have an animation playing but its lopping. how can i make it play and then make it stop at a certain point?

Code:

local Controller = friend.Humanoid
		
		local newAnimation = Instance.new("Animation", friend)
		newAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://10713966026"
		
		Controller:LoadAnimation(newAnimation):Play()

wait(1)
newAnimation:Destroy()

if you want to stop it you can just use :Stop() on the track :

Using Animations | Documentation - Hub Création Roblox

local Controller = friend.Humanoid
		
local newAnimation = Instance.new("Animation", friend)
newAnimation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://10713966026"
		
local track = Controller:LoadAnimation(newAnimation) --create a variable for your track
track:Play()

task.wait(1) --btw you should use task.wait() bc wait() is deprecated
track:Stop()

Hope this helped you!

Wow,
I tried :destroy(), :break()
and never realized that i could just do :stop()
Thanks you lol!

This is what I discovered about unloading animation.
But from what you describe, I’m not sure unloading is the issue

Is there a way to 'unload' animations?

I have always had some issues with understanding the fundamentals of playing animations, so excuse me if this is a very strange question. Here is my situation. In my game, a player can morph into different creatures. When they morph, the physical model of the morph on the server (so all clients can see it) is cloned and parented to the character. Inside of the model is a local script, which has children animations. This script (client) sends the appropriate animations per the humanoid stat…

Also, i do have 1 question.

Whats the difference between Humanoid:LoadAnimation() and Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation()

[Cyscoot]

it’s the same thing, exept that Humanoid:LoadAnimation() is deprecated and for some reason they changed it to Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation() both are working but Humanoid:LoadAnimation() shouldn’t be used for new work

There is one little thing I noticed about the Animator.
If the Animator is created from the server, when the Character is loaded, animations will replicate when played.
If for some reason the Animator is created on the client, Animations played will not replicate.

That’s perfect lol! The system i’m using the animation for is client sided, so i am not looking for lag
