Trying to play animation and stop the player from moving. Solution?
I am trying to make a game where you collect candies, and when you touch them, you stop moving and run an animation to collect the candy. I've managed to make the animation and spawn candies, but I looked everywhere and every solution I've tried to make the player stop moving didn't work.
What do I need to add to this script that belongs to the candies (parts) to make the player stop moving, and when the animation is done, let the player move again? (the script is working)
local Anim = script.Parent.GetCandy
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and debounce == false then
debounce = true
local AnimTrack = hit.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
AnimTrack:Play()
wait(.9)
script.Parent:Destroy()
wait(1.6)
debounce = false
end
end)

You can use the Humanoid's WalkSpeed to completely stop their movement then reset it back to default 16. Instead of using wait()'s in the code you could also use the Stopped() event of the AnimTrack to yield the code.
local candy = script.Parent
local Anim = script.Parent.GetCandy
local debounce = false
candy.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if human then
if debounce then return end --similar debounce to your original
debounce = true
human.WalkSpeed = 0
local animTrack = human:LoadAnimation(Anim)
animTrack:Play()
animTrack.Stopped:Wait() --Wait until the event 'Stopped' fires
human.WalkSpeed = 16
print("Collected candy")
candy:Destroy()
end
end)
RBXScriptSignal:Wait() helps us yield until the animation is completed. We then destroy the candy since it's no longer needed. Although you would add to the player's collected candy values before this.

Forgot Anim and debounce variables.

I found the solution. I brought back the wait commands and only added the humanoid speed. It works, and your script doesn't for some reason maybe because the animation "never ends", but thanks for the help!
