Tool moving animation does not stop when standing still until the tool is unequipped

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I made a script that has custom holding animations for tools like idle and move animations and the script works fine until I stop moving where the moving animation does not stop when I stand still until the tool is unequipped. I have tried a lot of things to fix the bug like editing the code multiple times but they all result in the same thing.

local tool = script.Parent
local player = tool.Parent.Parent
repeat wait(1) until player.Character
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')

local moving = false
local equipped = false

local idle = script:WaitForChild('Idle')
local move = script:WaitForChild('Move')
local idletrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(idle)
local movetrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(move)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	equipped = true
	idletrack:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:connect(function()
	equipped = false
	moving = false
	movetrack:Stop()
	idletrack:Stop()
end)

humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 and equipped then
		moving = true
	elseif speed == 0 and equipped then
		moving = false
	end
end)

while wait(0.01) do 
	if moving and equipped then
		movetrack:Play()
		movetrack.Stopped:Wait()
		if not moving and equipped then
			movetrack:Stop()
		else
			movetrack:Play()
		end
	end
end

The moving animation still plays when I stop moving

	if speed > 0 and equipped then
		moving = true
	elseif math.round(speed) <= 0 then

@KillzIsSomeRandomGuy Can you test the tool and check for errors/warnings in the console?

There are no errors or warnings, the moving animation just doesn’t stop when standing still

Nevermind, I just had to make the animation unlooped
