Detect if Humanoid is walking or not and vice versa (if they stopped mid way through)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Title says it all, i just want a simple function that detects if player is walking or not CONSISTENTLY.
No need for a full script
Just an if statement or (a loop).
I need this for a simple “build up speed” script.

#2

You should be able to use the MoveDirection property for this, look in to the code example provided on the wiki page.

#3

I did use that but it doesn’t seem to function properly.
And the only solution was a while loop, but i don’t want a loop.

if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
    Sprint:Play()
elseif Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude <= 0 then
    Sprint:Stop()
end
#4

If you do not want to use a loop you could use GetPropertyChangedSignal, here is a rough code sample of what that would look like:

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then -- and not animationTrack.IsPlaying
	   print('start animation')
	else
	   print('stop animation')
	end
end)

Tried that and got this many prints, also the sprint animation does not stop playing when player reaches “0”.

#6

Are you checking if the animation is already playing or not?

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and not Sprint.IsPlaying then
	   Sprint:Play()
	else
	   Sprint:Stop()
	end
end)
#7 
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
 
humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 then
		print('Plr is currently walking')
	else
		print('Plr is currently not walking')
	end
end)
#8

Did made sure and it still doesn’t stop.

if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and not Sprint.IsPlaying then
	local Tween = TS:Create(plr.Character.Humanoid, TweenInfo.new(2), {WalkSpeed = 32})
	Tween:Play()
	SpeedTween:Play()
	Tween.Completed:Connect(function()
			Sprint:Play()
	end)
else
	Sprint:Stop()
	TS:Create(plr.Character.Humanoid, TweenInfo.new(2), {WalkSpeed = 16}):Play()
	WalkTween:Play()
end
end)
#9

Humanoid.Running runs fine but the animation plays three times due to Tween.Comepleted :frowning:

Just add a debounce

local debounce = false
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
 
humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 then
		if debounce == false then
			debounce = true
			print('Plr is currently walking')
		end
	else
		print('Plr is currently not walking')
		debounce = false
	end
end)

what do you mean by “Detect if humanoid is walking or not”

#12

Just detect if player is walking or not.

#13

This worked! Thank you, it also solved the issue of sprinting animation playing even when player is not walking.

Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed > 0 then
		if debounce == false then
			debounce = true
	local Sprint = TS:Create(plr.Character.Humanoid, TweenInfo.new(2), {WalkSpeed = 32})
	Sprint:Play()
	SpeedTween:Play()
	Sprint.Completed:Connect(function()
				Anim:Play()
			end)
	end
else
	debounce = false
	Anim:Stop()
	TS:Create(plr.Character.Humanoid, TweenInfo.new(2), {WalkSpeed = 16}):Play()
	WalkTween:Play()
	end
end)
#14

Glad you resolved the issue, I made a simple mistake with the code I provided so here is the fix for future reference:

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
       if not Sprint.IsPlaying then
          Sprint:Play()
       end
	else
	   Sprint:Stop()
	end
end)
