Run animation won't stop on the server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Haven’t been in studio for a hot minute, I tried looking for others with a similar problem but found no working fix
I’m using the default Animate script that’s slightly modified + a separate run script

When I stop running on the client, my player seems fine, but if I look on the server he’s stuck running while idle. Any idea on what’s causing this and how to fix it?

Extra part in the animate script:

--1
runEvent.Event:Connect(function()
	if Figure:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Velocity.Magnitude > 0.02 then
		playAnimation("run", .1, Humanoid)
	elseif Figure:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Velocity.Magnitude < 0.02 then
		stopAllAnimations()
	end
end)

relevant part of the run localscript:

local function sprint(active)
	if exhausted then return end -- we can't run because we're exhausted!
	if active then
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
		animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://16616476248"
		animate.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://16616476248"
		runEvent:Fire()
		task.wait(.05)
		humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, -.45, -1)
	else
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 8
		animate.walk.WalkAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://16609497245"
		animate.run.RunAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://16609497245"
		runEvent:Fire()
		task.wait(.05)
		humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0, .1, -.45)
	end
	running = active
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gp)
	if gp then return end
	
	if input.KeyCode == sprintKey and root.Velocity.Magnitude > 0.02 then
		sprintHeld = true
		
		if stamina > 0 then
			sprint(true)
		end
		
	end
	
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gp)
	if gp then return end
	
	if input.KeyCode == sprintKey then
		sprintHeld = false
		sprint(false)
	end
	
end)

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	
	if root.Velocity.Magnitude < 0.02 then
		sprint(false)
		runEvent:Fire()
	end
	
end)

staminaInst:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	staminaEvent:Fire(stamina)
end)

local db = false
local lastStoppedTime = 0

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
	if stamina > 100 then stamina = 100 end
	
	if running then
		
		if stamina > 0 then
			stamina = math.clamp(stamina - 16 * dt, 0, 100)
		else
			sprint(false)
			exhausted = true
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 4
		end
		
		lastStoppedTime = tick()
		
	elseif stamina < 100 and tick() - lastStoppedTime > 2 then
		
		if stamina > 20 then
			exhausted = false
			exhaustedEvent:FireServer(false)
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 8
			
			if sprintHeld then
				sprint(sprintHeld)
			end
			
		end
		
		stamina = math.clamp(stamina + 8 * dt, 0, 100)
		
	end
	
	if exhausted then
		exhaustedEvent:FireServer(true)
		
		if not breathingSfx.IsPlaying then
			breathIn:Play()
			breathingSfx:Play()
		end
		
		tiredTween:Play()
		
	elseif not exhausted then
		
		if breathingSfx.IsPlaying then
			breathOut:Play()
			breathOut.Completed:Wait()
			breathingSfx:Stop()
		end
		
		notTiredTween:Play()
		
	end
	
	if sprintHeld and root.Velocity.Magnitude < 0.02 then
		running = false
	end
	
	staminaEvent:Fire(stamina)
	
end)

Could you try passing the same active variable you have in your sprint function into the event?

Something like this:

runEvent.Event:Connect(function(active)
	if active then
		playAnimation("run", .1, Humanoid)
	else
		stopAllAnimations()
	end
end)

same issue, the server thinks the player is still running yet on the client they’re standing still and no animation is playing

Below is an example of how you can synchronize the running state between the client and server:

In the local script:

local function sprint(active)
    -- Your existing code here

    -- Synchronize running state with server
    if active ~= running then
        running = active
        runEvent:FireServer(active)  -- Send running state to server
    end
end

In the server script (assuming the server script is listening to the runEvent ):

runEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, active)
    -- Update player's running state

    player:SetAttribute("IsRunning", active)
end)
