Stop is not valid member of Animation?

Asked Dec 14, 2018933 views2 answers

I was scripting knife throw script and when the tool unequipped it wont stop animation

local ts = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ThrowSystem")
tool = script.Parent
tossplaying = tool:WaitForChild("TossPlaying")
Toss = script.Parent.Animations.Toss

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	ts.Disabled = false
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	ts.Disabled = true
	if tossplaying.Value ~= true then
		Toss:Stop()
		tossplaying.Value = false
	end
end)

Stop is not a member of Animation. But it is a member of AnimationTracks. You don't actually call the :Stop() method on the animation.

The humanoid has a :LoadAnimation(anim) function which will load animation anim on a humanoid.You can also use an AnimationController and do the same, but to keep this simple I'll use the humanoid.

local client = game.Players.LocalPlayer-- If this is a local script, use LocalPlayer
local ts = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ThrowSystem")
local tool = script.Parent
local tossplaying = tool:WaitForChild("TossPlaying")
local Toss = client.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animations.Toss)
-- Loading the animation 

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    ts.Disabled = false
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    ts.Disabled = true
    if not tossplaying.Value then -- no need for ~= true, just 'not'
        Toss:Stop() -- stopping the animation track
        tossplaying.Value = false
    end
end)

You need to stop animation with for i,v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do ... end and use local VARIABLE = ...

here is a example:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

for i,v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
	if v.Name == "ANIMATION_NAME" then
		v:Stop()
		break -- Stop this loop
	end
end

here is fixed script for:

LOCAL SCRIPT

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local ts = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ThrowSystem")
local tool = script.Parent
local tossplaying = tool:WaitForChild("TossPlaying")
local Toss = script.Parent.Animations.Toss

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    ts.Disabled = false
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    ts.Disabled = true
    if tossplaying.Value ~= true then
        for i,v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
			if v.Name == tostring(Toss.Name) then
				v:Stop()
				break -- Stop loop
			end
		end
        tossplaying.Value = false
    end
end)

SERVER SCRIPT

local ts = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ThrowSystem")
local tool = script.Parent
local tossplaying = tool:WaitForChild("TossPlaying")
local Toss = script.Parent.Animations.Toss

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    ts.Disabled = false
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if tool.Parent.Parent:IsA("Player") then
		local char = tool.Parent.Parent.Character or tool.Parent.Parent.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	    ts.Disabled = true
	    if tossplaying.Value ~= true then
	        for i,v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
				if v.Name == tostring(Toss.Name) then
					v:Stop()
					break -- Stop loop
				end
			end
	        tossplaying.Value = false
	    end
	elseif tool.Parent:IsA("Model") and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent) then
		local char = tool.Parent
		local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		for i,v in pairs(humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do 
			if v.Name == tostring(Toss.Name) then
				v:Stop()
				break -- Stop loop
			end
		end
	end
end)

"workspace:WaitForChild(tool.Parent.Parent.Name)" is not the correct way to get a character. Use the Character property.
