Animation loop how to stop it?

Hi i am making a tower defense game and the animation for the towers attack keeps looping. This here is the code: (not the entire code)

function Tower.Attack(newTower)
    local target = FindNearestTarget(newTower)
    if target then
animateTowerEvent:FireAllClients(newTower, "Attack")
target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(40)
end

task.wait(1)

Tower.Attack(newTower)
end

here is the animation script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local animateTowerEvent = events:WaitForChild("AnimateTower")

local function SetAnimation(object, animName)
    local humanoid = object:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local animationsFolder = object:WaitForChild("Animations")
    if humanoid and animationsFolder then
        local animationObject = animationsFolder:WaitForChild(animName)
        if animationObject then
            local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
            local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animationObject)
            return animationTrack
        end
    end
end
local function playAnimation(object, animName)
    local animationTrack = SetAnimation(object, animName)
    if animationTrack then
        animationTrack:Play()
    else
        warn("Animation track does not exist")
        return
    end
end

workspace.Mobs.ChildAdded:Connect(function(object)
    playAnimation(object, "Walk")
workspace.Towers.ChildAdded:Connect(function(object)
    playAnimation(object, "Idle")
end)
animateTowerEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(tower, animName)
    playAnimation(tower, animName)
end)

i relly hope the local script helps

Solution 1:

The Looped property for your AnimationTrack was probably set to true when you created it in the animation editor. You could prevent the animation from looping in one of two ways:

1. Edit the Looped property in the animation editor and update the animation.
2. Set the Looped property to false in your SetAnimation function:

local function SetAnimation(object, animName)
    local humanoid = object:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local animationsFolder = object:WaitForChild("Animations")
    if humanoid and animationsFolder then
        local animationObject = animationsFolder:WaitForChild(animName)
        if animationObject then
            local animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
            local animationTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(animationObject)
            animationTrack.Looped = false
            return animationTrack
        end
    end
end
