Looped animation will not stop

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Made a looped animation, when i try to :Stop() it, nothing happens. Not much else to say other than the script is a server script.

#2

Can you show the code in the script?

#3

I would assume based on the limited information that the animation is being…

Not stopped correctly
Or is playing multiple times so stopping it once doesn’t stop all iterations

#4

you can ignore all that profile service stuff, its not a finished script.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = ReplicatedStorage.Animation
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local PlayerData = require(ServerScriptService.PlayerData.Manager)

local Defualt = script.DefualtSwing
local TPose = script.TPoseSwing

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, new, humanoid)
	
	local profile = PlayerData.Profiles[player]

	if not profile then return end
	
	local Hooked = player:WaitForChild("NumberOfHooks"):WaitForChild("Amount")
	
	local DefualtTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Defualt)
	local TPoseTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(TPose)
	
if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
	if Hooked.Value == 1 then
		DefualtTrack:Play()
	end	
elseif new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then		
		DefualtTrack:Stop()
	end
end)

Ok so the problem is being states:

To fix this issue here is a simple solution:

local Defualt = script.DefualtSwing
local TPose = script.TPoseSwing

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, new, humanoid)
	
	local profile = PlayerData.Profiles[player]

	if not profile then return end
	
	local Hooked = player:WaitForChild("NumberOfHooks"):WaitForChild("Amount")
	
	local DefualtTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Defualt)
	local TPoseTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(TPose)
	
if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
	if Hooked.Value == 1 then
		DefualtTrack:Play()
	end	
elseif new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then		
		for i, animation in pairs(humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
           if tostring(animation.Name) == tostring(defualt.Name) then
              animation:Stop()
           end

	end
end)

What this does is:
“for i, animation in pairs(humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
if tostring(animation.Name) == tostring(defualt.Name) then
animation:Stop()
end”
It stops all the repeating animations created that are playing, though this is not the optimal solution to let animations being recreated constantly as that may cause lag here would be an improvement:

local Defualt = script.DefualtSwing
local TPose = script.TPoseSwing

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, new, humanoid)
	
	local profile = PlayerData.Profiles[player]

	if not profile then return end
	
	local Hooked = player:WaitForChild("NumberOfHooks"):WaitForChild("Amount")
	
	local DefualtTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Defualt)
	local TPoseTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(TPose)
	
if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
	if Hooked.Value == 1 then
--Improvement Start:
   local holderVal = 0
    for i, animation in pairs(humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
           if tostring(animation.Name) == tostring(defualt.Name) then
              holderVal = 1
           end
    end
       if holderVal == 0 then 
         DefualtTrack:Play()
       end
--Impovement End
	end	
elseif new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then		
		for i, animation in pairs(humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
           if tostring(animation.Name) == tostring(defualt.Name) then
              animation:Stop()
           end
      
	end
end)

Now what this imrpovement does is that it checks if the animation is playing or not for the player, if it is, it will not play it again, therefore solving the repeating issue too.

Some of the identation may be a little weird, my tab is not working well. (Please tell me if this fixed the problem).
