Why wont this animation stop playing once Z is pressed a second time?
I am currently working on a crawling script for my game. I have a LocalScript in StarterPack with an Animation in the LocalScript. In my code, it starts playing the animation when Z is pressed once, but when it is pressed a second time it should stop but doesn't. In the output, it doesn't print ("Z was pressed again") after it's pressed a second time. The animation is looped, is in R15, and the priority is action. Here is what I currently have.
function KeyPress(input, gameProcessed)
local pressed = 0
local animation
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
pressed = 1
print("Z was pressed")
animation:Play()
else
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and pressed == 1 then
pressed = 0
animation:Stop()
print("Z was pressed again")
end
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(KeyPress)
If anybody knows why this is not working it would be greatly appreciated if you answered.

It seems like you want to implement a toggle, where a keypress would toggle the animation on or off. Here's how that should work:
local toggle = true -- toggle starts as turned on
function onKeyPress()
if toggle == true then -- if toggle is on
toggle = false -- turn it off
else
toggle = true -- if toggle is off, turn it on
end
end
To apply that to your animation, the toggle is whether or not the animation is playing, and the keypress is the Z key. So you'd implement it like so:
- When the Z key is pressed, check if the animation is playing.
- If the animation is playing, stop it. If it's not playing, play it.
And here's how your code looks like, with that implementation:
function KeyPress(input, gameProcessed)
local animation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then -- Z key was pressed
if animation.IsPlaying then
animation:Play()
else
animation:Stop()
end
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(KeyPress)
Hope that helps!
function KeyPress(input, gameProcessed)
local pressed = 0
local animation
local animation_name = script.Animation.Name
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Animation)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
pressed = 1
print("Z was pressed")
animation:Play()
else
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and pressed == 1 then
pressed = 0
for i,v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
if v.Name == animation_name then
v:Stop()
end
end
print("Z was pressed again")
end
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(KeyPress)
u can use get playing animation tracks to check what animations humanoid is playing then u can easily stop any animation you want. I have no idea what the animation name is so i used "script.Animation.Name" you can correct it on the line : "if v.Name == animation_name then" to : if v.Name == youranimationnamehere then
