Peoblem with pausing an animation

So I was trying to make a block system where if u hold f it holds block then letting go of the f key resumes that animation, everything seems to be working fine but it doesn’t register that I paused the animation.

Ello!

Does this work?

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local anim = Instance.new("Animation")
anim.Parent = player
anim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://119978299598900"
local character = player.Character
local hum = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

local track = hum:LoadAnimation(anim)
track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Idle
local blockKey = "f"
local isBlocking = false -- To keep track of whether we're blocking
local pauseTime = 0 -- To store animation position when paused

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[blockKey:upper()] and not isBlocking then
        isBlocking = true
        print("Blocking works")
        track:Play()
        track:GetMarkerReachedSignal("BlockEvent"):Connect(function()
            track:AdjustSpeed(0) -- Optional: This can freeze the animation if you need it
            print("does this even work")
        end)
    end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[blockKey:upper()] and isBlocking then
        isBlocking = false
        pauseTime = track.TimePosition -- Store current position
        track:Stop() -- Stop the animation (simulate pause)
        print("Animation paused at", pauseTime)
    end
end)

mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key) -- For legacy input handling, if required
    if key == blockKey then
        if isBlocking then
            isBlocking = false
            pauseTime = track.TimePosition
            track:Stop()
        else
            isBlocking = true
            track.TimePosition = pauseTime -- Resume from paused position
            track:Play()
        end
    end
end)

I added an isBlocking boolean to track the block state and I also switched to UserInputService for InputBegan and InputEnded

i used your script that animation works fine but it still doesn’t stop, could it be an issue with my actual animation?
