Change walkspeed on touch

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

What I want to accomplish: I want to make it so when you touch a part your speed increases by 5

This is my code I currently have that does not work

local part = script.Parent

local function onTouch(otherPart)
	local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
	if humanoid then
		part.Transparency = 1
		part.CanCollide = false
		part.CanTouch = false
		game.StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed = game.StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed + 5
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

This is a script inside of the part

If you want to change walkspeed it has to be done in the player’s humanoid, here is the script but using this fix.

local part = script.Parent

local function onTouch(otherPart)
	local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
	if humanoid then
		part.Transparency = 1
		part.CanCollide = false
		part.CanTouch = false
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed + 5
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Also Instead of making the transparency cancollide and cantouch false on the part you can simply just remove it using Destroy() or remove(), here’s the script using this.

local part = script.Parent

local function onTouch(otherPart)
	local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
	if humanoid then
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed + 5
		part:Destroy()
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

I would destroy it but I want it to respawn after some time

#5 
local part = script.Parent

local function onTouch(otherPart)
	local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
	if humanoid then
		part.Transparency = 1
		part.CanCollide = false
		part.CanTouch = false
		humanoid.WalkSpeed += 5
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

local part = script.Parent
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onTouch(otherPart)
	if otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local character = otherPart.Parent
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
		if player then
			if player:FindFirstChild("GotSpeed") then
				return
			end
			humanoid.WalkSpeed += 5
			local addSpeed = Instance.new("BoolValue")
			addSpeed.Name = "GotSpeed"
			addSpeed.Value = true
			addSpeed.Parent = true
		end
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		if player:FindFirstChild("GotSpeed") then
			local hasSpeed = player:FindFirstChild("GotSpeed")
			if hasSpeed.Value then
				humanoid.WalkSpeed += 5
			end
		end
	end)
end)

This will make it so that touching the part gives the player permanant +5 walkspeed even after they reset. The part isn’t affected as it can only be used once per player (feel free to change that around).

Thanks I have one question. How could I add my leaderstats to the change the speed intvalue to +5. This is easy in a local script but I have never done this in a server script. Is their a way? When I try it, it index nil with leaderstats

#8

Sure, this is how you would add leaderstats.

local part = script.Parent

local function onTouch(otherPart)
	local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
	if humanoid then
		part.Transparency = 1
		part.CanCollide = false
		part.CanTouch = false
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = humanoid.WalkSpeed + 5
		
		local leaderstats = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent).leaderstats
		local stat = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("speed") -- change speed to the value name
		if stat ~= nil then stat.Value = stat.Value + 5 end -- ~= nil means if it exists
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
