second script 

--SCRIPT 2
local pirate = script.Parent
local hum = pirate.Humanoid
local lidle = script.idle
local ljump = script.jump
local lrun = script.run
local lfall = script.fall

idle = hum:LoadAnimation(lidle)
jump = hum:LoadAnimation(ljump)
run = hum:LoadAnimation(lrun)
fall = hum:LoadAnimation(lfall)


idle:Play()

hum.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 1 then
	if pirate:WaitForChild("Value").Value then
		idle:Stop()
		repeat run:Play() wait(0.95) until speed < 1
	elseif speed < 1 then
		run:Stop()
		idle:Play()
	end
	end
end)


while wait() do
	if not pirate:WaitForChild("Value").Value then
		run:Stop()
		idle:Play()
	end
end

when the npc touches the player, the animation becomes very glitchy and gets spammed, any way to prevent that?
