animation gui won't stop playing animation?

Asked 503 views1 answers

hello!! i want to make an animation Textbutton where, if you click a button, your character will do an animation, but once its clicked again, the character will stop doing the animation and go back to their idle pose.

Everything works, but for some reason, when you click the button to stop the animation, it doesn't stop it. In this case, I want my character to sleep when I click the button. But when I click the button again to make him stop sleeping, he just keeps doing the sleeping animation. He can get up if you jump, but his idle animation seems to be stuck overlapping with the sleeping animation from that point onward.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
	On = false
	 
	local sleepanim = Instance.new("Animation")
	sleepanim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2794620010"
	 
	 
	 
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	    if On == false then
	        local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(sleepanim)
	        playAnim:Play()
	        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	        On = true
	    elseif On == true then
	        local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(sleepanim)
	        playAnim:Stop()
	        humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		        On = false
	    end
	end)

Does anyone know why this is happening? thank you!! (I dont know if this is relevant to the problem, but the animation's priority is "core" and its looped.)

The reason this is happening is that you are loading a new instance of the animation on line 12 and then stopping the animation track you just created. Because this is not the animation track that you started playing on line 13, stopping it will not do anything.

You will either need to store the original animation track in a global variable, or use Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() to iterate through all playing animation tracks and stop the sleep animation.

Use of global variable:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
    On = false
	local CurrentTrack;
    local sleepanim = Instance.new("Animation")
    sleepanim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2727217171"



script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
        if On == false then
           CurrentTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(sleepanim)
            CurrentTrack:Play()
            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
            On = true
			
        elseif On == true and CurrentTrack then
            CurrentTrack:Stop()
            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
            On = false
        end
    end)

Use of method Humanoid:GetPlayingAniamtionTracks()

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
    On = false

    local sleepanim = Instance.new("Animation")
    sleepanim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2727217171"



script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
        if On == false then
           local playAnim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(sleepanim)
            playAnim:Play()
            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
            On = true
			
        elseif On == true then
            local PlayingTracks = humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks();

			for _, Track in ipairs (PlayingTracks) do
				if Track.Animation == sleepanim then
					Track:Stop();
				end
			end
			
            humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
            On = false
        end
    end)
