How to stop animation play after tool is unequipped?

Asked Apr 17, 2020429 views3 answers

-- R attack
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local AnimationID = 'rbxassetid://4868889544'
local key = 'R'
local debounce = true

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
	if  IsTyping then return end
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[key] and debounce == true then
		debounce = false
		local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
		Animation.AnimationId = AnimationID
		local LoadAnimation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
		LoadAnimation:play()
		wait(5)
		debounce = true
		end
	end)

This is the local script in my tool and it plays animation when I press "R", but it still plays animation after too is unequipped, how to fix that? I tried using Tool.equipped event, but I failed and messed up the whole script, my scripting skills are very low.

The Tool.Equipped() is essential as the player can keep playing the animation without having the Tool equipped.

Try this code.(I have not tested this, so if you have any issues post a comment and I'll try to help you.)

-- R attack
local Tool = script.Parent --Put Tool Location here.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local AnimationID = 'rbxassetid://4868889544'
local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
Animation.AnimationId = AnimationID
local LoadAnimation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
local key = 'R'
local debounce = true

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function() -- If the Tool is equipped

	UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping) -- If the player presses the key while the Tool is equipped then it will run the code below.
		if  IsTyping then return end

		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[key] and debounce == true then
			debounce = false
			LoadAnimation:Play()
			wait(5)
			debounce = true
		end
	end)
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function() -- If the player has unequipped the Tool, we want to stop the animation in case they unequip the Tool during the Animation.
	
	LoadAnimation:Stop()

end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function() --Fires when the tool is unequipped
	Animation:Stop(); --Stops the animation
end);

You will need to edit it a bit so it works with your script.

        wait(1.5) -- anim length
	LoadAnimation:Stop()
