Why does my animation still play even though I unequip a tool?

Asked 532 views4 answers

I have a script when a tool is equipped two animations "idle" and "run" but when I unequip the tool the animation still plays, Any help?

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

IdleAnim = script:WaitForChild("Idle")
RunAnim = script:WaitForChild("Run")

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	plr.Character.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(value)
		if value>0 then
			playrun()
		else
			playidle()
		end
	end)
end)


script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	local run = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(RunAnim)
	local idle = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(IdleAnim)
	run:Stop()
	idle:Stop()
end)


function playidle()
	local run = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(RunAnim)
	local idle = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(IdleAnim)
	run:Stop()
	idle:Play()
end

function playrun()
	local run = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(RunAnim)
	local idle = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(IdleAnim)
	idle:Stop()
	run:Play()
end

You want to create and use LoadAnimation outside of these events so both event functions has the animation.

Also you want to disconnect the running event so that you don't create it over and over again.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local IdleAnim = script:WaitForChild("Idle")
local RunAnim = script:WaitForChild("Run")

local run = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(RunAnim)
local idle = plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(IdleAnim)

local runE

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
    runE=plr.Character.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(value)
        if value>0 then
            playrun()
        else
            playidle()
        end
    end)
end)


script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    run:Stop()
    idle:Stop()
    if runE then
        runE:Disconnect()
        runE=nil
    end
end)


function playidle()
    run:Stop()
    idle:Play()
end

function playrun()
    idle:Stop()
    run:Play()
end

I can't tell you if it's the issue but i think that you need to use :Disconnect()
