Animation stopping when item is destroyed.

[gray seal]

So I have this tool, a trash bag and it has a holding animation and when i hold e at the trash can it destroys the tool and gives you money, the issue that i got is that when the tool is destroyed, the animation doesn't stop and it stays there.

Would assume its because the script gets destroyed as well

[gray seal]

What should I do then

In the description of the .Destroying it says that it fires a right before it gets destroyed

[true hedge]

yeah but it doesn't work when the script is a child of the instance being destroyed

Roblox does something funky to get around this in their racing template

They create a script that listens for destroying outside the part and then fires a bindable event when it gets destroyed

But if u want a very easy fix then I think u can just go into Workspace and change SignalBehavior from Deferred to Immediate

And I think would fix

Will it mess anything else?

[true hedge]

Could

[gray seal]

Yea so basically I did that and it doesnt even play the animation

[true hedge]

That don’t make sense

[gray seal]

this is with immediate

this is with deferred

[true hedge]

Guess could look at what Roblox does in their Racing template

But yeah idealy you don't want to put scripts inside instances of course

[gray seal]

Any idea what this could be

[true hedge]

Could be because its a tool I guess

[gray seal]

So i changed everything and now i got a script for everything and basically every works normally but stopping the animation doesnt, and when i delete the tool an error pops up. The error doesnt pop up when i delete other items like another script that i got i delete an item but it works normally

Trashbag is archivable?

[gray seal]

ηθη

huh

[gray seal]

What does that mean, i mean what does it do

[true hedge]

Don't think it would throw that error but only idea I had

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/what-is-the-purpose-of-archivable/1739708

I guess its just to stop cloning tho

[gray seal]

but i need to clone it

and it is archivable

[true hedge]

when its false it means it cant be cloned

Its not the issue

[gray seal]

So basically it wont be shown in the acctually game if its off but why would that mess my code

[true hedge]

I don't understand why this is happening

[gray seal]

me neither

this is my other script where i destroy a tool again

and it works fine

[true hedge]

When I delete a tool it doesn't give me that error

Cuz I have this but works fine

I assumed ur handling it on client

and it handles the destroying event fine

But this script is not a child of the tool

[gray seal]

Nope it's a script in server script service

[true hedge]

Also

Tools are in the Backpack when Unequipped and in the Character when equipped

[gray seal]

Ik

I have it so it equips when you unequip it so it's always ewuiped

[true hedge]

And u making the tool on the server too?

Yeah I don't know

[gray seal]

yep

its all handled in a script is sss

im cooked

[true hedge]

Well yeah when I tried that I still couldn't get the issue

The only time I've gotten warning like that is when trying to delete a service
