Tracking character parameters and running animations via RunService

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi.
Since I had some bugs using a standard animation script, I decided to write my own.

So far, the script includes 3 animations: idle, walking and sprinting

And I have a question about how much my decision is correct.
I use RunService because I need to track several states to run the correct animation: WalkSpeed and MoveDirection.

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,processed)
	if not processed then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
			if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude ~=0 then
				humanoid.WalkSpeed = sprintSpeed
			end
		end
	end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input,processed)
	if not processed then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = walkSpeed
		end
	end
end)

rs.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local humanoidMoveDirectionMagnitude = humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude
	if humanoid.WalkSpeed == 16 and  humanoidMoveDirectionMagnitude == 0 and not idle then
		stopAnimations()

		sprinting = false
		idle = true
		walking = false

		idleTrack:Play()
	elseif humanoid.WalkSpeed == 16 and  humanoidMoveDirectionMagnitude ~= 0 and not walking then
		stopAnimations()

		sprinting = false
		idle = false
		walking = true

		walkTrack:Play()
	elseif humanoid.WalkSpeed == 30 and  humanoidMoveDirectionMagnitude ~= 0 and not sprinting then
		stopAnimations()

		sprinting = true
		idle = false
		walking = false

		sprintTrack:Play()
	end
end)
