How do I make the tool idle animation not override the current playing animation?

[glacial creek]

I know that this should probably be in Studio-Help but i am legitly struggling with scripting animations more than anything else at the moment

Are they different priorities?

you can stop the other animations when playing the idle one

I have had this problem before, and I made a function that checks if any other animations are playing and if they are, then they get stopped and then play the idle animation

local function PlayAnim(anim, tween)
    if CurrentAnim and CurrentAnim.IsPlaying and CurrentAnim ~= anim then
        CurrentAnim:Stop()
    end
    
    if not anim.IsPlaying then
        anim:Play()
        if tween then tween:Play()
            CurrentAnim = anim
        end
    end
end```

ignore the tween part

you can also change the animation priority to movement

I'm also worried about keyframes overwriting eachother

if animation priorities are used correctly they should overwrite other animations properly
