Need Help on ProximityPrompt Hold (With Animation)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, guys! I’ve been trying to make a cash register and it is almost done. But I have a problem.
So, I made a script for the cash register but when I hold to proximity prompt the animation doesn’t play.

-- SETTINGS --

-- [Cash Register] --

local Cooldown = 8 -- The couldown after the rob
local ProximityCooldown = 5 -- The cooldown of the proximity prompt
local MoneyAward = math.random(100, 2000) -- local Money = math.random(minimum, maximum) or local Money = amount

local canBeRobbed = true

local Alarm = "" -- The alarm sound Id

-- [Webhook] --

local WebHookURL = "" -- The webhook URL

-- [Other] --

local proximityPrompt = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Hitbox"):WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local MoneyService = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("MoneyService")

	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local money = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats)
	money.Value = "Money"
	
	local data 
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = {
			MoneyService:GetAsync(plr.UserId)

	plr.leaderstats.Money.Value += MoneyAward
	canBeRobbed = false
	wait(Cooldown)
	canBeRobbed = true
end)

I tried getting help from roblox studio community servers but I couldn’t find anything useful

Your code yields here, the bottom events cannot be ran because it’s looping here, put the while loop on the bottom.

First of all, I’m getting this error:
image
and second of all the animation is still not working

#5

Ik this won’t help you, but please use Animator method to load an animation. Humanoid method is deprecated

char.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation()

Get the loaded animation variable and do
