How to make an animation stop early on key release?
This is the code that makes a new animation, and plays it on key down.
blockanime = Instance.new("Animation")
blockanime.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1933843521" --- type here the animation ID
local animloader = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(blockanime)
animloader:Play()
And this is the key release function.
uis.InputEnded:connect(function(input,process)--Stop blocking
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
if not process then
blocking = false
wait()
Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
local animloader = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(blockanime)
animloader:Stop()
end
end
end)
I also tried :Destroy()ing blockanime on key release, but that didn't work, so I just copying the code that plays it, and replacing :Play() with :Stop()

What you need to be doing is keeping a reference to the playing animation in the same scope to where both the InputBegan and InputEnded connected functions can access it.
local animloader = nil -- initially nil
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, process)
blockanime = Instance.new("Animation")
blockanime.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1933843521"
local animloader = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(blockanime)
animloader:Play()
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, process)
if animloader then -- make sure the animation exists
animloader:Stop()
end
end)
Notice how the animloader variable is outside and above both the InputBegan and InputEnded event connections. This gives them both access to it, allowing you to Play() and Stop() in different scopes within your code.
