How do i cancel animation when using "wait()"?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So pretty straight forward,

I’m working on a gun system and stuff,

So I made a Equipped function where it would do this:

	EquipAnim:Play()
	wait(0.71)
	Tool.EquipEvent:FireServer() --Does it's job to do a blowback and sounds.
	wait(1.38)
	IdleAnim:Play()

However, if u unequip the tool before it does “IdleAnim:Play()” The player will be stuck on that idle animation, can somebody help me out and fix this?

I think what you would have to do is hook the animation when it stopped to when the tool is unequipped. Example:

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
EquipAnim:Stop()
end)

Yeah but that doesn’t solve the problem, it only stops the EquipAnim, the script will still start playing the idle animation and it will be stuck on it.

And I already have the unEquipped function, it’s just that it won’t stop the idle once unEquipped in under 1.38 seconds.

5

What kind of animation priority are the animations? That can effect how everything works.

The track is on Action, as I already said “once unEquipped in under 1.38 seconds, the idle animation won’t stop even with the unEquipped function”

Why don’t you have a variable named “equipped”. When they equip the tool set it to true, when they unequal it to false. Then check if it is true before playing the idle animation.
