Can't walk ingame

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

A lot of times in my game (in-game, not in studio) , my character cannot move. It happens randomly. In the video I posted below, it shows me using the developer console to print my Walk Speed. None of my scripts deal with walk speed, and this only seems to happen in-game (can walk in studio). I have no plugins, no back-door scripts, or free models. The default movement is on keyboard.

If you can’t download the video, the developer console printed my walkspeed as 99, even though I couldn’t move.

Hope someone can clarify what’s going on, have a good day!

Does it only happen in your game?
How frequently does it seem to be happening?

Do you have any scripts in your game that create welds?

I just tested it again by joining my game 25 times, and it happened only 2 times. So its about a 1/12 chance it will happen. However, one time I spawned in game like this:

RobloxScreenShot20200715_215819864
RobloxScreenShot20200715_2158198641535×715 551 KB

Does this have to do anything related to it? Should I report this as a bug? Also no, I don’t have any welding scripts. This only happens in-game.

Sometimes my keyboard freezes momentarily. That’s not the problem for you here, is it?
Hasn’t happened recently for me in a while though.

Only 1 out of 12 times? I’d say those are pretty good odds O.O

Jokes aside I think you are having some physics issues specifically relating to your character. Try to search in your code for anything manipulating the Character. Like: ContextActionResult.Sink

OR

You could be loading your character faster than the playerscript loads causing an error?

But man that is too funny I really have no real
solid answer for this one

same here, sometimes my keyboard bugs completely (on roblox only), i can’t move and when i try to chat when i press enter it counts as a space so i can’t tell my friends im rejoining or something like that

I believe it happened a year or 2 years ago for majority of games(my game was military-based but also targetted). I believe you should look up some older posts(would love to help but I’m momentarily in rush)

I think I found out the problem. I put a free script that would enable characters to not touch each other if they ran into each other. Here was the code, I labeled the word “here” in which I think is causing the problem :

script.Parent = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local PhysService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local PlayerGroup = PhysService:CreateCollisionGroup("p") -- here?
PhysService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("p","p",false) -- here?

function NoCollide(model)
	for k,v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA"BasePart" then
			PhysService:SetPartCollisionGroup(v,"p") -- here?
		end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
		char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		char:WaitForChild("Head")
		char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		wait(0.1)
		NoCollide(char)
	end)
	if player.Character then
		NoCollide(player.Character)
	end
end)

Also there are no errors when it happens.

Maybe the reason it occurs only sometimes is because this code is initiated as soon as they join the game without any delay. Try adding additional checks/waits and arguments before passing along the ‘NoCollide’ function. Or to test if this is the origin of the error, try disabling the code and joining you game 12 times again to test the probability.
