so i have build my own robot model and now im going to move it. i made a simple code just to make sure i know how to move the joints, it works and all but because the joint state publisher keeps publishing the initial position (or whatever position it is set to) it keep resetting , so i want to make the state publisher stop

What I meant to say was: what sort of nodes do you have already? If you have a driver for your robot that already publishes JointState messages and accepts commands (such as FollowJointTrajectory or similar), you don't actually need joint_state_publisher any more, unless you have ..

thanks to your comments i realized i can just edit the display.launch and stop the node from starting in the first place. anyways, im doing a hexapod robot , i have build the urdf model , and made a node that publishes the joint states to \joint_state topic, im planning to make a machine learning code that will make the model learn how to walk on it's own without me planning the motion but i still don't know how so i just make what i can and go learn a new thing
