Waiting for animation to stop using task.wait() instead of wait()

I’ve heard that using task.wait() is a lot better than using wait() so I’m trying to avoid using wait(). I’m wondering if there’s a way of using task.wait() with AnimationTrack.Stopped. What I mean is can you only use AnimationTrack.Stopped:wait() to wait for an animation to finish or is there something like AnimationTrack.Stopped:task.wait() and would there be any benefit in doing so. When I try to do AnimationTrack.Stopped:task.wait(), it just errors.

I’m sorry if this sounds stupid, a lot of people say using task.wait() is better and I just want to know if that would be possible in this scenario and would it give you any benefit or does using AnimationTrack.Stopped:wait() do the same thing.

You’re getting wait() and Wait() confused.

AnimationTrack.Stopped:Wait() yields the thread until the animation track’s Stopped event fires. wait() and task.wait() are globals which yield the thread for an arbitrary length of time (specified by the function’s argument).

Oh I thought AnimationTrack.Stopped:Wait() did kind of the same thing as wait(), thank you!!
