Random Sitting Animations Error

[zaiphh (zyph)]

I have this error for whenever someone sits on a ‘Seat’ object, the pose that has been set for the seat keeps playing even after the player has gotten up from it.

Error code: “Argument 1 missing or nil”

I’ve surfed through the internet for some solutions but I’ve found none for this specific error.

Here is the script I use:

seat = script.Parent

-- Name of the folder that contains the sitting poses
local SITTING_POSES_FOLDER_NAME = "SittingPoses"

function added(child)
	if child.ClassName == "Weld" then
		local character = child.Part1.Parent
		if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local posesFolder = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(SITTING_POSES_FOLDER_NAME)
			if posesFolder and posesFolder:IsA("Folder") then
				local poses = posesFolder:GetChildren()
				local sittingPose = poses[math.random(#poses)]
				character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(sittingPose):Play()
			end
		end
	end
end

function removed(child)
	if child.ClassName == "Weld" then
		local character = child.Part1.Parent
		if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation():Stop()
		end
	end
end

seat.ChildAdded:Connect(added)
seat.ChildRemoved:Connect(removed)

This script is supposed to play a random sitting pose every time someone sits on it, those animations are randomly chosen out from a folder.

The error is said to be on the 24th line, though I’m not sure how to fix it.

character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation():Stop()

LoadAnimation always needs an Animation object, to stop the AnimationTrack after getting up you can save the object it returns

local seat = script.Parent

-- Name of the folder that contains the sitting poses
local SITTING_POSES_FOLDER_NAME = "SittingPoses"
local LastAnimation = {}

local function added(child)
	if child.ClassName == "Weld" then
		local character = child.Part1.Parent
		if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local posesFolder = workspace:FindFirstChild(SITTING_POSES_FOLDER_NAME)
			if posesFolder and posesFolder:IsA("Folder") then
				local poses = posesFolder:GetChildren()
				local sittingPose = poses[math.random(#poses)]
				LastAnimation[character.Humanoid] = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(sittingPose)
				LastAnimation[character.Humanoid]:Play()
			end
		end
	end
end

local function removed(child)
	if child.ClassName == "Weld" then
		local character = child.Part1.Parent
		if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and LastAnimation[character.Humanoid] then
			LastAnimation[character.Humanoid]:Stop()
			LastAnimation[character.Humanoid] = nil
		end
	end
end
seat.ChildAdded:Connect(added)
seat.ChildRemoved:Connect(removed)
