You can index the IsPlaying property of AnimationTracks to tell you if the AnimationTrack is playing or not, no need for functions.

local IdleAnimation -- your idle animation

if IdleAnimation.IsPlaying then
   print("AnimationTrack is not playing")
end

Although if you want to make a function that’ll return whether or not the animationtrack is playing, you can just return the property itself:

local function IsAnimationPlaying(animation)
   return animation.IsPlaying
end

print(IsAnimationPlaying(IdleAnimation)) -- prints whether or not the idleanimation is playing

As stated by metryy, .IsPlaying will work for checking if it’s running. But, if you also would like to do something as soon as it stops, AnimationTrack.Stopped is what you’ll want:

local idleAnimation -- your AnimationTrack for the idle animation
local stopped

local function IdleStopped()
    -- the idle animation stopped
    stopped:Disconnect() -- disconnect the event if you only wanted this to run once, or something
    stopped = nil -- this too
end

stopped = idleAnimation.Stopped:Connect(IdleStopped)

Or you can for loop through all of the animations you get from:

Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()
