How (in a while loop) can I make something run once?

So Im working on a crouch system, and in a while loop it constantly checks if the player is crouching. But how (in that while loop) can I play an animation without the animation looping playing? Because then it only plays the start of the animation.

just add a variable like “alreadydone” or something

local alreadydone = false
while wait() do
if not alreadydone then
print("done")
alreadydone = true
end
end

You can use an event like this, with anim being your crouch animation:

        local animationTrack1 = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
	
	    animationTrack1:GetMarkerReachedSignal("end"):Connect(function(paramString)
	     --[[	
       other code here
           maybe here you can call an event... make this event based, for when player has crouched , instead of running a loop,
          which will probably reduce lag

	     	]]--
	     	animationTrack1:Stop()
	     end)
	
	    animationTrack1:Play()

you can use break to end the while loop, or a for loop.

example:

while wait() do
     if good then
     break -- stops the loop
     end
end
