Okay so i have this script where the player can press shift to gain speed. they can hold shift to gain speed constantly.
this caps at a walkspeed of 50. if the player lets go, they’ll decelerate until they reach a walkspeed of 16.
now, i have this animation but i want it to play when the player reaches a walkspeed of 30, i don’t know how i would go around doing this as methods i’ve tried tend to have annoying bugs or works poorly.
would anyone know How i can make an animation start playing when the player reaches or ascends the specific walkspeed, and how to make the animation stop when they go below that limit?
i’m not asking for scrpits, i’m asking for ideas. i already have the running script itself made but this part im having trouble with
also this is the main part of the script. it repeats so i can’t play the animation in the repeats or the animation would just repeat itself without playing fully
update: i think co-routines will help me out here, does anyone know how they work? i’ve read the devhub explanation but i still don’t get it…
i figured coroutine out, but my script is having some issues
UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
local Char = Character
local Animator = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):FindFirstChild("Animator")
local Run2 = Instance.new("Animation")
Run2.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7422019829"
Run2.Parent = Char
local RunTrack2 = Animator:LoadAnimation(Run2)
RunTrack2.Looped = true
local Running = false
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key)
print("Keyboard User")
Key = Key.KeyCode
if Key == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
if Running == false then
Running = true
print("Started running")
end
end
coroutine.wrap(function()
repeat
Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed + 2
print(Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed)
wait(0.2)
until Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed == 50 or not Running
end)()
if Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed == 30 or Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed >= 30 then
RunTrack2:Play()
end
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(Ekey)
if Ekey.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
if Running == true then
Running = false
end
coroutine.wrap(function()
repeat
Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - 5
print(Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed)
wait(0.1)
until Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed <= 16 or Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed == 16 or Running
end)()
if Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed <= 30 then
RunTrack2:Stop()
end
if Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed <= 16 then
Char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end
end)
end)
end)
my character accelerates infinitley, and it speeds up and slows down much faster than it should. why is this happening?
Yeah, when the player reaches 30 walkspeed or more, the animation plays
when they go below 30, the animation stops
normally this would be simple but i have loops adding the speed up. and as people know, nothing will play outside the loop until the loop ends.
this means if i ran the animation after the loop, the animation wouldn’t play until they reached the maximum speed limit, when it should play long before that.
if i played it in the loop then the animation would play at 30, but it won’t stop playing causing that one effect where the animation just repeats the frames in the given time (im making the loop wait 0.2 seconds so it’ll repeat the first 0.2 seconds of the animation when it should be the whole thing) so i can’t run it inside the loop either
running it before the loop would make it play before the player reaches the required speed as well…
I was having the same issue with one of my sprinting systems, the player would just keep on accelerating, breaking the speed cap, and slow down all of a sudden after I let go of the sprinting button. I too dont know why this is happening, and the best fix I can give is to break the loop after the speed cap has been reached, and play the animation.
this won’t work in this instance because;
→ playing it before the loop would make the animation play before the player reaches the specific walkspeed
→ playing it in the loop would repeat the animation
→ playing it after the loop would delay the animation, playing it at the capped limit
You can simply wrap the loop in a co-routine and resume it after the speed cap goes under 30, which will start the loop again. you can do this with a simple if statement.
Im pretty sure there is not a function to basically pause the co routine, but coroutine.yield works as well.
