Idle sitting animation not stopping?

So I think most of the devforum has seen a game much like this: https://www.roblox.com/games/5072973528/Vibe-Room

I am trying to achieve their sitting animation system how every seat has a different animation and my first try went well until it got to the point I needed to remove or stop the animation, the animation doesn’t stop when I jump out of the seat.

The animation is set to idle in priority and is looped.

Here is the script:

local seat = script.Parent

seat.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if (child.ClassName == "Weld") then
		local human = child.part1.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if human ~= nil then
			local anim = human:LoadAnimation(seat.sitanim)
			anim:Play()
		end
	end
end)

seat.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child)
	if seat.sitanim then
		seat.sitanim:Destroy()
		wait()
		local newanim = Instance.new("Animation",seat)
		newanim.Name = "sitanim"
		newanim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6435284432"
	end
end)

This is the explorer:

This is what it looks like on a seat:

This is what happens when you get off:

It only tells me this but I don’t know what to do with it:

sitanim is not inside the seat… insert a animation name it sitanim and put the id in the animation

#3

it says it right here, but ill recreate it

#4

LoadAnimation returns an entirely separate instance called an AnimationTrack which is the instance actually playing the Animation, you should be stopping that instead of deleting the Animation itself.

How do I get to this instance? I don’t know exactly where its located.

#6

no point, if sitanim isn’t a child of seat, it’s going to error. Try:

if seat:FindFirstChild("sitanim") then

end
#7

This doesn’t fix anything, sitanim is an animation located in the seat, I sent an image of the explorer panel and it clearly shows the animation in the seat.

#8

It’s nil and it’s parent is locked, but you could have it as a variable outside of the two connections, and reference the track like you did with anim.

#9

How would I locate it outside of the connections if it requires to find the person sitting in the chair, I think I would need to use a connection.

#10 
local seat = script.Parent
local anim

seat.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
	if (child.ClassName == "Weld") then
		local human = child.part1.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if human ~= nil then
			anim = human:LoadAnimation(seat.sitanim)
			anim:Play()
		end
	end
end)

seat.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child)
    anim:Stop()
    anim = nil
	--Might not be needed, but just in case
    --[[seat.sitanim:Destroy()
	wait()
	local newanim = Instance.new("Animation",seat)
	newanim.Name = "sitanim"
    newanim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6435284432"]]
end)

Something like this. I would have done better but I’m on mobile for now.

Okay I found a way to solve it on my own and it involved putting events in events, so thanks for helping!
