Tool won't stop playing animation upon unequipping?
Hi, I'm having an issue with my script. So the script works entirely fine, besides the final part. To sort of explain the script, its designed to where when you equip the gun, it plays the draw animation, immediately followed by the LOOPED stance animation called Idle. When you fire the gun, it plays the fire animation. However, when you unequip the gun, the idle animation continues to play, and I can't get it to stop. Please let me know if you have a solution!
local Tool = script.Parent
local fire = Tool.Fire
local draw = Tool.Draw
local idle = Tool.Idle
local AnimateValue = script.Parent.AnimateValue
Tool.Equipped:connect(function()
AnimateValue.Value = true
local Character = Tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(draw)
local AnimationTrack1 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(idle)
if AnimateValue.Value == true then
AnimationTrack:Play()
wait(.5)
AnimationTrack1:Play()
else
if AnimationTrack1.IsPlaying then
AnimationTrack1:Stop()
end
end
end)
Tool.Unequipped:connect(function()
AnimateValue.Value = false
end)
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
local Character = Tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(fire)
AnimationTrack:Play()
end)

Hi, so a better way to go about this and might as well solve your problem is by adding a variable that tracks the current animation. Then when it is time to stop the animations you will specifically call :Stop() on the animation that is currently playing.
Like so:
local Tool = script.Parent
local fire = Tool.Fire
local draw = Tool.Draw
local idle = Tool.Idle
local currentAnim -- Here is where we add the variable
local AnimateValue = script.Parent.AnimateValue
Tool.Equipped:connect(function()
AnimateValue.Value = true
local Character = Tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(draw)
local AnimationTrack1 = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(idle)
if AnimateValue.Value == true then
currentAnim = AnimationTrack -- set the current animation
AnimationTrack:Play()
wait(.5)
currentAnim:Stop() -- stop the previous animation for new one
currentAnim = AnimationTrack1 -- set the current animation
AnimationTrack1:Play()
else
if AnimationTrack1.IsPlaying then
AnimationTrack1:Stop()
end
end
end)
Tool.Unequipped:connect(function()
AnimateValue.Value = false
currentAnim:Stop() -- stop the current animation on unequip
end)
Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
local Character = Tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local AnimationTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(fire)
AnimationTrack:Play()
end)

I Think The Problem Is That Your Animation Is LOOPING, You Can UnLoop The Animation By Going InTo The Animation And Turning Off the LOOPING.
