I did everything possible to stop the looped animation, I even looped through the humanoid and stop all the animation but it still continues to play when it is supposed to be stopped.
This is what I want but I need to hold the button for a while before unholding it so the looped animation gets stopped:
This is what I don’t want as when I instantly press and not hold the looped animation couldn’t be stopped:
This is the local script:
uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()--change it to player.Character if gui giver
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Debounce = true
if not script:FindFirstChild("HoldBlueStartup")then
local anim = Instance.new("Animation",script)
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=15032508572"
anim.Name = "HoldBlueStartup"
end
if not script:FindFirstChild("HoldBlueDuration")then
local anim2 = Instance.new("Animation",script)
anim2.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=15032511842"
anim2.Name = "HoldBlueDuration"
end
if not script:FindFirstChild("HoldThrowBlue")then
local anim3 = Instance.new("Animation",script)
anim3.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=15032525798"
anim3.Name = "HoldThrowBlue"
end
local animload = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HoldBlueStartup"))
local animload2 = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HoldBlueDuration"))
local animload3 = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HoldThrowBlue"))
--New idea for blue, hold blue and charge and when unhold blue it shoots
--can use the reverse curse local script code a reference
--but issue is i also want blue to have a second type, jump in air then it changes
--to aoe spin 360 blue around the player
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,IsTyping)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then--keybind for the move
if IsTyping then return end---check if player is typing,if it is then it wont activate.
if Debounce == true then
if player.Character.CanAttack.Value == true then--keybind
if not player.Character:FindFirstChild("Blue1Bool") then
if (player.Character.Humanoid:GetState() ~=Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall) and (player.Character.Humanoid:GetState() ~=Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping) then
local mana = player.Character.Humanoid.Mana
local manacost = 14
if mana.Value > manacost then
Debounce = false
--if player.Character:FindFirstChild("DaggerOn")then
game.ReplicatedStorage.GojoSatoruRemote.GojoRemote1:FireServer("Blue1")
print("BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBblue 1")
animload:Play()
task.wait(0.5)
animload2:Play()
animload:Stop()
end
end
end
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.E then
if player.Character.CanAttack.Value == true then
if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Blue1Bool") then
animload2:Stop()
animload3:Play()
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
game.ReplicatedStorage.GojoSatoruRemote.GojoRemote1:FireServer("Blue2",mouse.Hit.p)
print("blue 1AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")
end
end
end
end)
if player.Character.Humanoid.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Air then
local mana = player.Character.Humanoid.Mana
local manacost = 14
if mana.Value > manacost then
Debounce = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.GojoSatoruRemote.GojoRemote1:FireServer("Blue3")
print("blue 2")
end
end
wait(5)
Debounce = true
end
end
end
end)
The answer is actually really simple! Instead of continuously trying to stop the animation with a loop, you could use the animation’s Stopped event and a flag variable to introduce a control over when exactly the animation should be allowed to play.
Example:
-- declare a flag to track when the animation is being pressed
local isPressing = false
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, IsTyping)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if IsTyping then return end
if Debounce and player.Character.CanAttack.Value then
isPressing = true -- set flag to true as the key is being pressed
-- start ur animation loop here
end
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
isPressing = false -- set flag to false as the key is no longer being pressed
end
end)
-- connect stopped event to stop looped animation
animload2.Stopped:Connect(function()
-- Only replay the animation if the key is still being pressed
if isPressing then
animload2:Play()
end
end)
So I think this way looped animation will be playing for as long as key is pressed. When key is released, isPressing is set to false, hence preventing the animation from resuming the next time it stops.
Pleease modify this script according to your need because there could be some variable name mismatch (make sure to replace animload2 and isPressing). When you’re done, reply. I’ll try to assit you further if there still will be smth wrong
When I instantly press E and unhold E again the holding loop animation still plays even after it is stopped.
animload is the wind up/startup animation.
animload2 is the looped animation that plays as long as the player is holding the button E.
animload3 is the animation that throws the blue orb and before this is played, animload2 is supposed to be stopped.

Hmmm. The issue may be that animations in Roblox do not stop instantly, like there will be a small delay or they finish their current loop before stopping. So, when the “E” key is released, rather than stopping the animation instantly, it completes the cycle before stopping, so if we use debounce and timer system this could potentially solve this issue.
This is how I’d do it:
Set a debounce when animation starts/when “E” is pressed.
Set a timer for the length of the animation loop.
When “E” key is released:
a. Stop the animation.
b. Check if the debounce is still active (if the timer has not run out).
c. If debounce is active, delay the throw animation until the debounce is stopped.
Once the debounce is stopped (animation loop has ended), play the throw animation.
Here’s a rewrite of your code considering the above:
local isPressing = false
local debounce = false
local animTime = 1 --^ Length of your animation in seconds ^--
local StartAnim = chara:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HoldBlueStartup"))
local LoopAnim = chara:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HoldBlueDuration"))
local EndAnim = chara:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("HoldThrowBlue"))
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, IsTyping)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then -- keybind for the move
if isTyping then return end
if chara.CanAttack.Value then
if not debounce then
isPressing = true
debounce = true
-- play start animation
StartAnim:Play()
wait(animTime)
debounce = false
if isPressing then
-- play loop animation
LoopAnim:Play()
else
-- play end animation
EndAnim:Play()
end
end
end
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if chara.CanAttack.Value then
if isPressing then
isPressing = false
LoopAnim:Stop()
if not debounce then
-- play end anim
EndAnim:Play()
end
end
end
end
end)
Also dont forget to replace the animTime with the correct length of your animation. I am ready to help you further if, again, something goes wrong
Sorry for the late replies
