Trying to make a toggle animation with keybinds?
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Animate
local Humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(Key)
Key = Key:lower()
if Key == "c" then
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", player.Character)
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://3555353330"
Animate = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
Animate:Play()
end
end)
if mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(Key)
Key = Key:lower()
if Key == "c" then
Animate:Destroy()
end
end
end)
It keeps saying "expected ')' (to close '(' at line 15), got 'end'
Any ideas on how I could fix this or just fix the script in general? Its meant to be so every-time you press "c" your character crouches with a custom animation then when you press "c" again it stops the crouching animation and makes you stand like normal. I'm very NEW to scripting so sorry if I look stupid as hell.
edit
After looking at the comments I changed the script to use UserInputService but still have no idea
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Animate
local Humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(Input)
local MouseInput = Input.UserInputType
local KeyCode = Input.KeyCode
if KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation", player.Character)
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://3555353330"
Animate = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
Animate:Play()
end
end
if KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
Animate:Stop()
end
end)

Alright I know exactly whats up here.
You're trying to check if an event happens using if-statements.
Fortunately, you don't need to do that. When the event triggers, it will call the corresponding function without having to check it with an if-statement.
Let me show you what i mean
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local debounce = false
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
if not debounce then
debounce = true
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://3555353330"
Animation.Parent = player.Character
Animate = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
Animate:Play()
else
Animate:Stop()
debounce = false
end
end
end)
Okay so you're probably gonna say, "what the heck? this guy just completely rewrote my script", but I'll explain why.
Your script was based off of a false idea that you need to say someting like if event then, so i just rewrote it to fix it up in that regard. I also removed all the deprecated code you were using and replaced it with the recommended versions.
Since you want to toggle the animations, you can use something called a debounce, debounces have many use cases but for this case we're using it as basically an on/off switch for the animation.
Best of luck scripting, here are some sources that may help you out:
