The local isplaying in your function isn't the same as the one you declared globally - they're separate variables under the same name

#

If you want to update the global variable, remove the "local" for isplaying inside your function

#

ooooh okay, I'll try that then, thanks.

#

like this, right? because now it won't play the animation in the first place

regal talon Jan 12, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Oh that's because you have two separate if statements. Try doing If, else instead

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

alright, I'll do that then.

#

like this, right?

#

oh wait woops

#

forgot to remove part from before XD

#

there

regal talon Jan 12, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

Yeah should be good

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

well, it still won't play the animation now.

studio ** You are now Level 3! ** studio

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

actually, restarting the game, now it DOES play the animation but still just won't stop the animation.

#

meager crescent there

Try putting line 6 outside the function

#

Or line 5 and 6

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

I've done that previously as well and any time I have it's just refused to play the animation at all, but I'll try it again.

#

yeah no it won't play the animation now.

#

this script here, it doesn't play the animation.

#

Do you have any errors in output?

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

I've never even gotten any output from anything

#

not even print beforehand has given me any outputs

regal talon Jan 12, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

Go to View tab and hover over an icon button called "Output". Should be around the top left of View tab then click on that

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

ooooh okay, I actually thought output was on by default XD

#

bruh one of my scripts randomly disappeared that controls the GUI I need to test my code.

#

alright, so, here's the output.

regal talon Jan 12, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

Figured the issue might be related to this

#

Ok replace line 3 with this:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

okay, well, I actually just replaced the FindFirstChild with WaitForChild, and that works perfectly

#

it both plays, and stops, the animation now. thanks for your help!

regal talon Jan 12, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

Yeah I just want to point out one more thing

#

The reason why you're receiving that error is because sometimes the script will run before the humanoid even gets the chance to completely load

meager crescent Jan 12, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

yeah I assumed so after noticing you changed it from FindFirstChild to WaitForChild

#

I just kinda assumed the player model was loaded before the script in the UI XD

regal talon Jan 12, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

Yeah just be careful with Player Character models too, sometimes they don't load in as expected
