#

small temple Define idle_track outside

how

#

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    local idle_anim = tool:WaitForChild("Animations"):WaitForChild("Idle")
    local idle_track = tool.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):GetPlayingAnimationTracks()[idle_anim]
    idle_track:Stop()
end)

small temple Dec 29, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

Outside the event

#

U can acess it twice

#

#

small temple Its not working cuz ur loading a different animation

its the same anim

small temple Dec 29, 2025, 10:00 PM

#

Its not it doesnt recognize it ```lua
local idle_track = ...
tool.equipped:connect
idle_track:play
tool.unequipped:connect
idle_track:stop

#

Like on the task scheduler its like different i think

#

It cant get the same one

lavish fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:00 PM

#

it’s because you’re loading the animation twice

#

they count as separate animations because they’re both different instances of the same animation track

#

if that makes sense

#

basically when you load an animation you should use the same global variable for the :Start() and :Stop()

stoic fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:01 PM

#

ohh

lavish fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:01 PM

#

not two different local variables

stoic fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:01 PM

#

i get it

#

let me try rq

lavish fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:01 PM

#

let me know

stoic fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:02 PM

#

#

doesnt load the animation anymore

small temple Dec 29, 2025, 10:02 PM

#

LoadAnimation

#

Ur using getplayinganimationtracks

#

Its not an animation track

stoic fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:03 PM

#

can you like

#

type it

small temple Dec 29, 2025, 10:05 PM

#

In ur first image

#

Its that line

stoic fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:07 PM

#

i dont get it

small temple Dec 29, 2025, 10:09 PM

#

local idle_track = tool.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(idle_anim)

#

Replace it with that

#

Like the same animtrack is available twice

#

To the events

stoic fern Dec 29, 2025, 10:11 PM

#

    local idle_track = tool.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(idle_anim)
    idle_track:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    local idle_anim = tool:WaitForChild("Animations"):WaitForChild("Unquip")
    local idle_track = tool.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(idle_anim)
    idle_track:Stop()

#

local idle_anim = tool:WaitForChild("Animations"):WaitForChild("Idle")
    local idle_track = tool.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(idle_anim)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

#

and it doesnt work right

stoic fern Dec 29, 2025, 11:08 PM

#

yea

#

wtf

#

im not getting anything

#

from both

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:06 AM

#

stoic fern this gave me the infinite yield error

that’s not an error

#

only warning

#

because you don’t set a timeout parameter in your WaitForChild

#

it’s normal

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:07 AM

#

ionic elm that’s not an error

i deleted the script

#

im rewriting it

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 11:50 AM

#

small temple This is correct

can you help me again

#

#

i rewrote the script

#

the equip works

#

unequip doesnt

small temple Dec 30, 2025, 12:01 PM

#

its the same problem u had earlier

#

local idle_anim = tool:WaitForChild("Animations"):WaitForChild("Idle")
local idle_track = tool.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(idle_anim)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    idle_track:Play()
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    idle_track:Stop()
end)

small temple Dec 30, 2025, 12:06 PM

#

try this u can remove the functions

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:42 PM

#

stoic fern

#

how is this guy s2 and im not evilcat

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:42 PM

#

ionic elm how is this guy s2 and im not <:evilcat:1161027214645665842>

#

i havent scripted since early 2025

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:43 PM

#

small temple try this u can remove the functions

cant really remove the equipped function

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:43 PM

#

that’s a few months tops and won’t impact you at all for more than a day but sure wtv

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:43 PM

#

omg

#

i get it

#

hold on

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:43 PM

#

just load an animation outside the equip functions and play it in equip and stop it in unequip

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

small temple ```lua local idle_anim = tool:WaitForChild("Animations"):WaitForChild("Idle") lo...

i know why this isnt working

#

the same problem happened with my ammo gui

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

if that doesn’t work check if it’s in GetPlayingAnimationTracks

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

tool.parent is backpack

#

tool.parent.parent is player

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

wtf crying

small temple Dec 30, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

no

#

its in workspace ur player

#

so

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:44 PM

#

small temple its in workspace ur player

no the character model is in workspace the player is in Players

#

when a tool is equipped it’s replicated into the CharacterModel

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:45 PM

#

small temple its in workspace ur player

so why did my ammoUI work when i did tool.parent.parent instead of tool.parent

#

also

#

when i did tool.parent on both, it warns me "infinite yield on backpack for humanoid"

#

so tool.parent is just backpack

#

okay nvm

studio ** You are now Level 11! ** studio

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:46 PM

#

wtf

#

YES

#

YES

#

YES

#

I GOT IT WORKING

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:46 PM

#

infinite yield warning only means that the function is yielding indefinitely usually comes from not having a timeout parameter inside WaitForChild

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:47 PM

#

I HAD TO DO tool.parent.parent.character

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:47 PM

#

…

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:47 PM

#

ionic elm …

ionic elm Dec 30, 2025, 12:47 PM

#

small temple Dec 30, 2025, 12:47 PM

#

stoic fern Dec 30, 2025, 12:48 PM
