Emote Button Gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Alright another quick question. This is a follow-up to the Gamepass only gui that @Forummer found the solution for. I am trying to create a list of emotes that automatically cancel when you are trying to move.
I know my code is completely wrong but I tried at least:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
repeat wait()
character = player.Character
until character
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if hum.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then
		emote:Play()
		hum.WalkSpeed = 0
		hum.JumpPower = 0
	else
		emote:Stop()
		hum.WalkSpeed = 14
		hum.JumpPower = 50
	end
end)

Take this portion of the code:

emote:Stop()
		hum.WalkSpeed = 14
		hum.JumpPower = 50

and put it into a changed function for the humanoid like so:

hum.Changed:Connect(function()
	if hum.MoveDirection ~= Vector3.new(0,0,0) then
		emote:Stop()
		hum.WalkSpeed = 14
		hum.JumpPower = 50
	end
end)

this should be the solution

Didn’t seem to fix it. Here`s what the code looks like:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
repeat wait()
character = player.Character
until character
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if hum.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then
		emote:Play()
		hum.WalkSpeed = 0
		hum.JumpPower = 0
	else
		hum.Changed:Connect(function()
			if hum.MoveDirection ~= Vector3.new(0,0,0) then
				emote:Stop()
				hum.WalkSpeed = 14
				hum.JumpPower = 50
			end
		end)
	end
end)

make the hum.Changed function outside of the entire script.Parent.MouseButton1Click function and it should work

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
repeat wait()
character = player.Character
until character
local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local emote = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Emote)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	if hum.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) then
		emote:Play()
		hum.WalkSpeed = 0
		hum.JumpPower = 0
	end
end)

hum.Changed:Connect(function()
	if hum.MoveDirection ~= Vector3.new(0,0,0) then
		emote:Stop()
		hum.WalkSpeed = 14
		hum.JumpPower = 50
	end
end)

like this ^

#5 
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local button = script.Parent
local emoteAnimation = button:WaitForChild("Emote")
local emoteTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(emoteAnimation)
repeat task.wait() until emoteTrack.Length > 0

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0 then
		emoteTrack:Play()
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		humanoid.JumpPower = 0
		humanoid.JumpHeight = 0
	end
end)

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
		emoteTrack:Stop()
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		humanoid.JumpPower = 50
		humanoid.JumpHeight = 7.2
	end
end)

A few issues, wait() has been superseded by task.wait(), “:connect()” is deprecated and has been replaced by “:Connect()”. You can use the magnitude of a player’s character’s move direction in order to determine if they are moving or not. The default walkspeed of a humanoid is 16 not 14, the “Humanoid.Changed” event fires whenever any of the humanoid’s properties change “:GetPropertyChangedSignal()” allows us to create an event signal object which only fires when a specified property changes. Finally, you should use the “.CharacterAdded” event instead of a “repeat wait loop” to detect when the player’s character has been added.
