How to disable animation.Play? (FPS)

Question

Well, i'm making and FPS, and i'm having trouble with the Aim Down Sights thing, well, i'm my gun script, i have this lines, that play animation and sound when i shoot (press Fire1):

 if(Input.GetButton("Fire1")){
  if(ammo > 0){
   if(shootTime > 0.1) {
    ammo--;
    audio.clip = shootSound;
    audio.Play();
    animation.Play("FireAnim1");               Instantiate(bullet,gunBarrel.position,gunBarrel.rotation);
    shootTime = 0;

(All variables are alright).

But them, i made an Aim Down Sights system based on animations, so I added this lines:

 if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")){
         animation.Play("ADSAnim1");
     }
 
     if(Input.GetButtonUp("Fire2")){
         animation.Play("ADSAnim2");
     }

But then, while I hold "Fire2" the gun stays in ADS position (ok till now) but when i shoot (press Fire1) qhile holding "Fire2", the gun goes to the non-ads position, plays the normal shooting animation, and then stays there, till I stop holding "Fire2" (then it plays "ADSAnim2", wich is the reverse of the "ADSAnim1", in other words, the gun goes from the ADS position to the normal position).

Well i tried adding some lines like if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")); //Don't play animation or something like this but i'm not skilled in JavaScript so idk how to do that.

Please help me and sorry for my english, hope you understood all :D

There are many ways to write the following code. I will try to write it in an "easy to understand" way.

Input.GetButton : Called every frame the player is holding this button down.

Input.GetButtonDown : Called for 1 frame when the player presses this button. It will not retrigger again until the player has released the button and pressed it again.

Input.GetButtonUp : Called for 1 frame when the button is lifted.

An easy way to tell if the player is aiming down the sight or not is to create a boolean.

if the player is aiming down the sights: aimingDownSights = true;

if the player is not aiming down the sights: aimingDownSights = false;

 var aimingDownSights: boolean = false;

If you truly want the player to have to hold down the right mouse button while aiming down the sights (and not just a toggle) you can use:

 if(Input.GetButton("Fire2"){
    aimingDownSights = true;
    //turn on aiming down sight anim
 }else{
       if(aimingDownSights){
          aimingDownSights = false;
          //turn off aiming down sight anim
       }
 }

I am assuming you already have 2 separate animations for hip fire and aiming down the sight.

  if(Input.GetButton("Fire1"){
     if(aimingDownSights){
         // aim down sight fire
     }else{
         //hip fire
     }
  }

If you do not want to allow automatic firing (the player must click for every shot) use this:

 if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"){
    if(aimingDownSights){
        // aim down sight fire
    }else{
        //hip fire
    }
 }
