Check if the player moves

[Tsukiyomy]

Hello there, I’m making a floor particle script and the first part works just fine.
My problem now is that I want it to activate whenever the player moves and I don’t know how to do that.
If you could help me make a function that checks if the player is moving or not.
Thank you.

Check if the player is moving?

The Humanoid has a property called MoveDirection which determines, as a unit vector, the direction a player is moving in. You can access the Magnitude property and see if it’s greater than 0 to know if there is active movement without relying on what their HumanoidStateType is. Refer to the code sample on the page.

Two ways you can detect movement, the Running event or a GetPropertyChangedSignal connected to the MoveDirection, both require the humanoid

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if Humanoid.MoveDirection == Vector3.new() then return end --Think it still works if you compare the magnitude to 0
	--Particle code
end)

--Or

Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed == 0 then return end -- Not moving
	--Particle code
end)

Or if you’re not planning on using these events, just check the MoveDirection when needed
