Tool idle animations keep playing after I unequip Tool

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello there,

I’m trying to make a script where when i equip a tool, an idle animation plays if im not running. It works, but what I’m trying to do is for the animations to stop when i unequip the tool, but it doesnt work. Here is an attempt that I’ve done but don’t work.

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equip = true
	
	local anim = script.Parent.AnimationIdle
	local char = Tool.Parent
	local Humanoid = char.Humanoid
	local track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
	local trackt = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animr)
	
	Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(value)
		
		if value > 0  and equip == true then
	
		moving = true
		track:Stop()
		trackt:Play()
	elseif value <0 and equip == true then
		
		moving = false
		trackt:Stop()
		track:Play()
		
	end

		
		
	end)
	end)




	Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
		moving = false
		equip = false
		
	end)

I can’t figure out any other way to do this, can anyone help?

Thanks.

You could unload it by using Humanoid.GetPlayingAnimationTracks and stopping it based on its name. I honestly prefer to handle it a different way but that involves a different code structure altogether. I don’t usually shove everything into the function listening to Equipped.

Try putting:
elseif value <= 0 and equip == true then

Because the value shouldn’t ever go under 0, when you stop running it should return 0 instead. But just in case you can check for both lower than and equal to 0.

This should fix your issues, let me know if there is still an error:

local anim = script.Parent.AnimationIdle
local character = Tool.Parent
local Humanoid = character.Humanoid
local track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
local trackt = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animr)

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    equip = true
Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(value)
    if value > 0 and equip == true then
        moving = true
        track:Stop()
        trackt:Play()
    elseif value <= 0 and equip == true then
        moving = false
        trackt:Stop()
        track:Play()
       end
   end)
end)
    
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    moving = false
    equip = false
    trackt:Stop()
    track:Stop()
end)

There were 2 things to fix in the script for it to work, and this is was one of the two. Thanks for helping :slight_smile:

Here’s the script:

Tool = script.Parent
local char = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character
anim = script.Parent.AnimationIdle
animr = script.Parent.Run
local Humanoid = char.Humanoid
moving = false
local equip = false
--local anim = script.Parent.AnimationIdle
local char = Tool.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local trackt = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animr)
	trackt:Play()
	equip = true
	
end)
	




	

Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(value)
	
	local track = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
	local trackt = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animr)

	if value >= 1 and equip == true then
	
		moving = true
		track:Stop()
		trackt:Play()
	elseif value <= 0 and equip == true then
		
		moving = false
		trackt:Stop()
		track:Play()
		
	end
	Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
		equip = false
		if track.IsPlaying then
			track:Stop()
		 end
		if trackt.IsPlaying then
			trackt:Stop()
		end
		
end)
	
	end)

That didn’t work, but thanks for helping. :slight_smile:

You should work on indenting your code properly for the sake of readability and tackling issues. Your current code creates a function and has it listen to Tool.Unequipped every time the function listening to Humanoid.Running is called. One of the major issues this presents is a memory leak, which can lower game performance.
