Why is my code not repeating?

[DanielosthebestYTAlt]

Hi, I wrote a script for a slide tackle, it checks if the player that touches them is sliding, only then it play the tackled animation.
It works. When I slide, it gets tackled, but if I enter the hitbox without sliding and then when I try again with sliding enabled, it doesn’t get tackled and doesn’t repeat the code.

Script:

local playing = false
local an = script.Parent.Parent.Animation

local anim = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(an)
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if playing == false then
		playing = true
		
		if hit.Parent.Name == "Dummy" then return end
		
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			print("isPlayer")
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("isSliding") then
				print("isSliding")
				if hit.Parent.isSliding.Value == false then return end
				if hit.Parent.isSliding.Value == true then
					print("player is sliding")
					anim:Play()
					anim.Ended:Wait()
					playing = false
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

I actually just saw that like right when you commented. I’ll mark you as solution.
