How do I prevent an animation from interrupting?

Asked 798 views1 answers

I made a animation that punches and hurt people. The animation interrupts when I press the mouse button many times. I want it to only play again if the animation is done.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
 
Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
	local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
	animation.AnimationId="http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=791758753"
	local character = Player.Character
	local anim = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
	anim:Play()
	wait(3)
	character.RightHand.Touched:connect(function(hand)
		local humanoid = hand.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if (humanoid ~= nil) then
			humanoid.Health = 0
			hand.Velocity = (hand.CFrame.lookVector) * -50
		end
	end)	
end)

Bonus Question: How do I hurt a humanoid when the animation is playing and touching the humanoid? When the humanoid touches my hand, it hurts them when i'm not playing the animation. Hope this makes sense.

You can simply check the IsPlaying state of the AnimationTrack prior to loading and playing it. You're gonna have to make a variable to hold the AnimationTrack.

Also, to make the Touched event fire you should define it outside of the Button1Down event.

You may want to add a debounce.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local track --Make a holder for the AnimationTrack

repeat wait() until Player.Character

local character = Player.Character

character:WaitForChild("RightHand").Touched:connect(function(hit)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		humanoid.Health = 0
hit.Velocity = (hand.CFrame.lookVector) * -50
	end
end)    

Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
	if not track and not track.IsPlaying then
		local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
		animation.AnimationId="http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=791758753"
		local anim = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
		track = anim;
		anim:Play()
		wait(3)
	end
end)
