How to scalably stop animations right before they end to preserve the pose

I want to preserve the pose that the animation moves the player into after the animation has completed, then be able to whenever I desire to finish the animation and return back to normal positioning.

How to make character remain in pose after animation finishes playing

Hello, this is my first time scripting with animations, so I am pretty ignorant toward it. So I made an animation that makes the player make a pose; however, after the animation finishes playing, it automatically reverts to the standard idle position. How do I make it so that it stays in that pose and stop other animations from playing?

I read the above post, but it was to no avail because I already have a lot of made animations that cannot scalably be remade with the extra keyframe.

You could possibly Connect on GetPropertyChangedSignal for TimePosition and check if it’s very close to the total Length of the animation, if so then stop it:

local Close = 0.05
AnimTrack:GetPropertyChangedSignal("TimePosition"):Connect(function()
    if (AnimTrack.Length - AnimTrack.TimePosition) <= Close then
        AnimTrack:Stop()
    end
end)

This looked very good, but I have the unusual problem of GetPropertyChangedSignal not working on TimePosition? Not sure why.

I believe unfortunately this may be one of the properties that GetPropertyChangedSignal doesn’t support.

Shucks, you may have to wait out the AnimTrack.Length minus some offset and then stop it - thought wait has unpredictablities and won’t exactly wait correctly.

As you might fear, a extra Keyframe at the end along with a GetMarkerReachedSignal Connection is the better solution.

Would there be any way to mass-update my animations to add this keyframe?

The simplest way would be to:
Import the Animation => Copy the last Keyframe => Paste it near the end => Name it => Export the Animation.
