Animation Cycle keeps looping first animation?

Im trying to make a sword tool with an animation cycle so on the first hit it will play an animation, then on the second hit a different, so on, and so forth. But for some reason whenever you click just once it keeps looping the first animation over and over and doesnt stop. The script is a local script inside of the tool

local Anim1 = script.Parent.Animations.Swing2
local Anim2 = script.Parent.Animations.Swing1
local Anim3 = script.Parent.Animations.Swing3

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Hum = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Swing1 = Hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim1)
local Swing2 = Hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim2)
local Swing3 = Hum.Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim3)

local AnimationTable = {
    Swing1,
    Swing2,
    Swing3
}

local CurrentSwing = AnimationTable[1]

local function Swing ()
    for i, v in pairs(AnimationTable) do
        if v == CurrentSwing then
            v:Play()

            v.Ended:Connect(function()
                CurrentSwing = AnimationTable[i + 1]
            end)
        end
    end
end

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    Swing()
end)

Check if the looping is on in the animation edit thing JustinWe12 723 — 1y

To turn off the looping, you can set AnimationTrack.Looped to false.

local Anim1 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animations").Swing2
local Anim2 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animations").Swing1
local Anim3 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Animations").Swing3

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Hum = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Animator = Hum:WaitForChild("Animator")

local Swing1 = Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim1)
local Swing2 = Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim2)
local Swing3 = Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim3)

local AnimationTable = {
    [1] = Swing1,
    [2] = Swing2,
    [3] = Swing3
}

local CurrentSwing = AnimationTable[1]

local function Swing()
    for i, v in ipairs(AnimationTable) do
        if v == CurrentSwing then
            v.Looped = false -- turns off the looping
            v.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action4
            v:Play()

            v.Ended:Connect(function()
                CurrentSwing = AnimationTable[i + 1]
                if CurrentSwing > #AnimationTable then -- if the last animation is finished
                    CurrentSwing = 1 -- goes back to the first animation
                end
            end)
        end
    end
end

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(Swing)
