Better way to detect when player jumps?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

When a player jumps, it sends it as the player jumping loads of times. Is there a more reliable way of checking when the player jumps?

Code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local staminaBar = playerGui:WaitForChild("StaminaBar"):FindFirstChild("Bar")
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local debounce = false

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Jump"):Connect(function()
	if humanoid.Jump == true then
		staminaBar.Size = staminaBar.Size - UDim2.new(0.1, 0, 0, 0)
	end
end)

UserInputService has an event called JumpRequest, which as the name implies, runs when the player makes a request to jump. It should work for what you want seeing as this is a localscript

Hm, still seems to send the request a few times instead of only once

Okay looking through the page, you need a debounce for this as it’ll send a lot of requests for one jump

How do you time the debounce perfectly with the jump, then?

And how do you tell if the character holds the spacebar down, and continues jumping?

This isn’t a workable solution, but is marked as one.
