How to stop animation making player slide

I’m trying to make emotes for my game, but I have the issue that the player will slide across the ground very slowly whenever an emote is being played.

Right now, I have it so that when the emote is being played, walk speed and jump power is set to 0 both, so that they can’t move. That part does work fine, but on some of the emote’s animations they are a bit low to the ground and their movement slowly moves the player on the terrain.

The only ‘solution’ I found was to anchor the humanoid root part, but the problem is that I don’t want players to jump and then use the emote to essentially float, and I also don’t want players to try to “stack” up to higher spots using it. (Of course I wouldn’t mind anchoring the humanoid root part if there is a fix for those issues)

Here’s the emotes local script (there’s more after it but it’s irrelevant since it’s just more emotes then just the sit):

local EmotesFrame = script.Parent
local innerFrame = EmotesFrame.InnerFrame
local innerFrame2 = innerFrame.Frame
local Input = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Variables)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local human = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
module.animated = false
module.animatable = true

innerFrame.Back.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	EmotesFrame.Visible = false
end)

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	module.animated = false
end)

--turn off or on emotes when this is called
game.ReplicatedStorage.Speed.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(ifanimate)
	if ifanimate == false then
		module.animatable = false
		module.animated = false
	elseif ifanimate == true then
		module.animatable = true
		module.animated = false
	end
end)

--Emotes themselves:
--Sit Emotes
innerFrame2.Sit.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if module.animatable == true then
		local human = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			if module.animated == false then
				local human = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
				local anim = innerFrame2.Sit.Animation
				human.WalkSpeed = 0
				human.JumpPower = 0
				game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation:FireServer(anim, module.animated)
				module.animated = true
			else
				local human = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
				local anim = innerFrame2.Sit.Animation
				human.WalkSpeed = 16
				human.JumpPower = 50
				game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation:FireServer(anim, module.animated)
				module.animated = false
		end
	end
end)

And here’s the serverside script so other players can see the animation too:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Animation.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, animation, animated)
	local anim
	if animated == false then
	 	local character = player.Character
		local human = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		anim = human:LoadAnimation(animation)
		anim:Play()
	else
		local character = player.Character
		local human = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		for _,thisTrack in pairs (human.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
			thisTrack:Stop()
		end
	end
end)

you can anchor the humanoidrootpart while ensuring the player is touching the floor using Enum.Material or HumanoidState. im currently at school so this is all i could come up atm and cancel the emote if the player somehow did it in the air by doing the same thing but for Falling

Typical cause of sliding is due to the hip height, you could see if adjusting the hip height of the character slightly makes any difference… although if it does work it’d be tedious filling in arbitrary hipheights for animations.

Alternative solution could be to create a dummy visible version of the avatar and have that displayed during animations, such that the players real character isn’t clipping while doing an animation. (The dummy could be welded)
