Unable to get number value in a server script and stop animation

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

	local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

	local char = plr.Character

	local anim = script.Animation

	local animtrack = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)

	animtrack:Play()

	if script.Parent.Parent.door.CFrame == script.Parent.Parent.door.open.CFrame then
		char.HideWithDoor.Value = 1
	end

	if script.Parent.Parent.door.CFrame == script.Parent.Parent.door.close.CFrame then
		char.HideWithDoor.Value = 2
	end

end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)

	local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

	local char = plr.Character
	
	local anim = script.Animation

	local animtrack = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)

	animtrack:Stop()
	char.HideWithDoor.Value = 0

end)

basically its supposed to play the animation while the player is touching the part and increase the value to 1 if the door is opened and to 2 if its closed and when the player isnt touching the part to stop the animation and make the value 0

but the script cant stop the animation and is unable to get the values

Can you provide a screenshot of the explorer in game? or where HideWithDoor is located. There doesn’t look to be enough information to solve your problem. Also I believe the script can’t stop the animation because you’re trying to use LoadAnimation in a separate location where it isn’t already playing. You should use a variable outside of both Touch connections so you can use Stop in your TouchEnded Connection.

-- Assuming this is a ServerScript --
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local AnimationTrack = nil

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

	local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

	local char = plr.Character

	local anim = script.Animation

	AnimationTrack = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
...

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
    AnimationTrack:Stop()
    char.HideWithDoor.Value = 0
end)

I mean you don’t have to you can just leave it blank and not give it a value, but that’s just the way i’m used to doing it. Now for my question, is HideWithDoor there on both the Client and Server?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local value = Instance.new("NumberValue")
value.Parent = plr.Character
value.Name = "HideWithDoor"

end)

ok why is this simple script not working

You can’t access the character when the player joins through just PlayerAdded by itself

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
         local value = Instance.new("NumberValue")
         value.Parent = Character
         value.Name = "HideWithDoor"
    end)
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local animtrack = nil

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

	local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

	local char = plr.Character

	local anim = script.Animation


	animtrack = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
	animtrack:Play()

	if script.Parent.Parent.door.CFrame == script.Parent.Parent.door.open.CFrame then
		char.HideWithDoor.Value = 1
	end

	if script.Parent.Parent.door.CFrame == script.Parent.Parent.door.close.CFrame then
		char.HideWithDoor.Value = 2
	end

end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)

	local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

	local char = plr.Character
	
	local anim = script.Animation

	local animtrack = nil

	animtrack = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)

	animtrack:Stop()

	char.HideWithDoor.Value = 0

end)

tried to fix the stop thing with the nil solution but it didnt help in anything (no output error)

Okay, i don’t think you understood what i put for you. The code that I wrote is basically what you should have, you only need those two lines in your TouchEnded code. Also sorry for the late reply

managed to fix the stop error by just removing the anims, they werent important
