It's because crouch() is an unknown function. Scripts run from line 1 to line x. So to fix this issue. Simply have function crouch() at the top of your script

01function crouch()
02    if player:FindFirstChild("Contestant") then
03            if animPlaying == false then
04                local animObj = Instance.new("Animation")
05                animObj.AnimationId = animationID
06                local loadedAnim = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animObj)
07                loadedAnim:Play()
08                player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 10
09                animPlaying = true
10                script.Parent.Crouch.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(26, 144, 255)
11                script.Parent.Crouch.TextLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(26, 144, 255)
12                print("Playing")
13            else
14                print("Stopping")
15                for i , v in pairs(player.Character.Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
16                    v:Stop()
17                end
18                player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
19                animPlaying = false
20                script.Parent.Crouch.ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
21                script.Parent.Crouch.TextLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
22            end
23        end
24    end

What I mean is crouch is nil because there isn't an existing function yet. Just put the function script above line 1 Skydoeskey 108 — 4y

so u mean put the whole script? for function crouch() AviaFlyHigh 15 — 4y
