What am i doing wrong in this animation script? *REPOSTED AND UNSOLVED*
I'm trying to make a script for a tool where pressing the X button would only play the animation if my tool was equipped. Problem is, when i unequipped the tool i can continue to press x again and the animation would still play.
01 | -//Services |
02 | local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService') |
03 |
04 | --//Variables |
05 | local tool = script.Parent |
06 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
07 | local char = player.Character |
08 |
09 | --//Use this since it's a local script inside a tool |
10 | player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character) |
11 | char = character |
12 | local hum = char:WaitForChild('Humanoid') |
13 |
14 | --//Animation |
15 | local spinSlash = hum:LoadAnimation(tool.Animation) -- i have the animation inside the tool. |

Again, i only want the x button to play the animation when the tool is equipped.

first of all you should never repost your questions especially if they were moderated DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 6y

Last time i checked it wasn't moderated, plus what's wrong with reposting a question that i've been struggling with for a whole week already? Sorukan 240 — 6y

And the last time that i checked the community guidelines, there are no rules saying you can't repost or make duplicates, it's not like i'm spamming the post, infact i've reposted this about 4 times already and each time i did it i waited atleast a day or 2 before reposting it again only to get no answers.

Try this:
01 | --//Equipped |
02 | tool.Equipped:Connect(function() |
03 |
04 | --//Input |
05 | local debounce = false |
06 | local playSlash = UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input) |
07 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X and not debounce then |
08 | debounce = true |
09 | spinSlash:Play() |
10 | wait(2) |
11 | debounce = false |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
14 | end) |

It makes the 'pressing X' event a variable so that it can be disconnected once you unequip the item.
To answer your question, you were doing nothing wrong, it was just that you need to do a little bit extra to get the :Connect() to stop.
