Help with stamina

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Like every other stamina feature in games, they regen after a certain amount of time. How could I achieve this?

Basically, there will be a countdown, if the stamina stops changing for 3 seconds then it will start regenerating, but if the stamina lowers while the countdown is ticking it will restart the countdown, how would I do this?

local val                     = script.Parent
local currentVal              = val.Value
local isSprinting             = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Sprinting")

local MAXIMUM_STAMINA         = 100

while wait(.15) do
	if val.Value < 100 and isSprinting.Value == false then
		currentVal = val.Value
		val.Value = val.Value +4
	elseif val.Value > 100 then
		val.Value = 100
		currentVal = 100
	end
end

you could use a bool value that turns true whenever it changes, and then once it turns true you can do wait(3) and then make it false, and you can do while bool == false do currentVal = CurrentVal + howevermuch stamina you want to add

Perhaps you can use a custom timer class which will do the timing for you. Then you can fire a signal when the timer has finished counting down to start an runservice connection to increase stamina every frame by a certain amount. Moreover you can even restart the count down of this timer class by setting the timer to 0 using the timers functions.

Moreover I would suggest using the time elapsed returned by the runservice step in order to make the stamina recharge not frame-rate dependent.

Thank you, I actually ended up using this script instead of the OOP though
local val = script.Parent
local currentVal = val.Value
local isSprinting = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Sprinting”)
local runService = game:GetService(“RunService”)

local MAXIMUM_STAMINA         = 100
local COUNTDOWN               = 1.1

val:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
	if val.Value < currentVal then
		COUNTDOWN = 1.1
	end
	currentVal = val.Value
end)

while true do
	runService.Stepped:Wait()
	wait(.03)
	if val.Value < 100 and isSprinting.Value == false then
		if COUNTDOWN > 0 then
			repeat
				runService.Stepped:Wait()
				wait(.1)
				COUNTDOWN = COUNTDOWN -.1
				print(COUNTDOWN)
			until COUNTDOWN < .1
		end
		val.Value = val.Value +1
	elseif val.Value > 100 then
		val.Value = 100
	end
end
