Animation plays multiple times then stops?
I have an AI character that is supposed to walk toward you, and play an animation. It does this, but just spams the first few frames of said animation, and then stops.
anim = Instance.new("Animation",script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid)
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=5063671356"
humanoid = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
function onTouched(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (human ~= nil) then
local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
playAnim:play()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
any help?
EDIT: This script is located in the models upper torso if that is any help.

The most common problem with Touched functions is that they run more than once. Add a debounce variable that stops it from running more than once in a certain time.
anim = Instance.new("Animation",script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid)
anim.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=5063671356"
humanoid = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
local debounce = false
function onTouched(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (human ~= nil) and debounce == false then
debounce = true
local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim)
playAnim:play()
playAnim.Stopped:Wait() -- you should change the delay, but this means that the next line doesn't run until the animation stops.
debounce = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Is the NPC doing anything else?
