Hi, I am a beginner scripter and I want to make a leaping ability available to only a certain team, and the other teams cannot leap.
I could not find any tutorial on how to make that.
Please help

You can just change the Humanoid.JumpPower to make a plr jump higher. If you want to make it look better, use Animations. For activating it with a Key, you can use UserInputService or if it should be a tool, you can use tool.Activated.
Links:
Humanoid.JumpHeight/Power - Humanoid | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
Animations - Using Animations | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
UIS - UserInputService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
Tool.Activated - Tool | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
If you then have more questions about anything, please tell. Hope that helped

Is it possible to make it work with a keybind combination (pressing two keys at once, eg. Alt + Z)?
2 Likes
There are for sure ways to do so.
You could do UIS.InputBegan and in an if statement, check if both Enum.KeyCode.Alt/Z are pressed down. I dont know atm the exact name for the event, but sth like .IsKeyDown or sth. It is for sure listed in the UIS documentation

Alright, thank you for the help!

this should cover that… (tested)
--local script
local uis=game:GetService("UserInputService")
local altPressed=false
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.LeftAlt then altPressed=true
elseif altPressed and input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.Z then
print("Triggered")
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.LeftAlt then
altPressed=false
end
end)
Sorry the old post was just too sloppy for me. Makes me a bit mad I can’t add them together. I know they are just numbers relating to the key. Clearly Roblox has these set up differently. To me this is a crazy work around but it seems like the only way to really do two key combos.

Yeah, that works, I just tested, thank you

Hello, hi again.
Update: so I tried making leaping, but, I cannot really figure out on how to make the player move forward and fly upward/jump at the same time when looking forward (or any other direction other than up or down).
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local altPressed = false
local zPressed = false
local speed = 50 -- Adjust this value to change the speed of movement
local upwardSpeed = 10 -- Adjust this value to change the upward speed
local upwardThreshold = 0.7 -- Adjust this value to set the threshold for looking up
local cooldownTime = 0.95 -- Cooldown time in seconds
local onCooldown = false -- Tracks if the ability is on cooldown
-- Function to check if the player is looking up
local function isLookingUp()
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local lookVector = camera.CFrame.LookVector
return lookVector.Y > upwardThreshold
end
-- Function to check if the player is looking down
local function isLookingDown()
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local lookVector = camera.CFrame.LookVector
return lookVector.Y < -upwardThreshold
end
-- Function to move the player forward with upward velocity
local function moveForwardWithUpwardVelocity()
local forwardVector = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector
local upwardVelocity = Vector3.new(0, upwardSpeed, 0)
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = (forwardVector * speed) + upwardVelocity
end
-- Function to handle cooldown
local function startCooldown()
onCooldown = true
wait(cooldownTime)
onCooldown = false
end
-- Check for keybind combination
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftAlt then
altPressed = true
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and not onCooldown then
zPressed = true
startCooldown()
end
end)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftAlt then
altPressed = false
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
zPressed = false
end
end)
-- Continuous check for keybind combination and camera orientation
runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if altPressed and zPressed then
if isLookingUp() then
-- Move upward only if looking up
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, speed, 0)
elseif not isLookingDown() then
-- Move forward with upward velocity if not looking down
moveForwardWithUpwardVelocity()
else
-- Move forward without upward velocity if looking down
local forwardVector = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = forwardVector * speed
end
end
end)
Edit: forgot to add the symbols to not make the script look like a jumbled mess.

Why not just add to jump power while the keys are down. Then let the game physics take care of the rest.

I thought if I did that the player wouldn’t forcefully jump, sorry

No need to be sorry, but that is something I would surly test. Seems to me it is just what you’re looking for.

@2112Jay is right. If you have the player`s humanoid on the Server, you can just do:
local hum = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
hum.Jump = true
So you take your UIS part, and when true, you fire a RemoteEvent to the Server which fires this code

I used a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts to make the leaping ability, so do I need to rewrite the entire script from scratch, or I can reuse my current script and just modify it?
Edit: I misread the last part of your message by accident, woops…

Update: it works, the player now jumps and moves forward when leaping and looking forward, thanks guys!

Have to go to StarterPlayer and set CharacterUseJumpPower to true. Alt is messing with the interface so I went LeftControl. And we can skip the combo keys here by just using the jump key as is.
--local script
local player=game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local humanoid=player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local uis=game:GetService("UserInputService")
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
humanoid.JumpPower=120
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
humanoid.JumpPower=50
end
end)
Basically you hold down LeftControl and you get more jump power.

Lol, I just scripted it rq for you. Well if you still need it:
LOCAL SCRIPT:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvent
local cooldownTime = 1
local onCooldown = false
local altPressed = false
local zPressed = false
local function startCooldown()
onCooldown = true
rep:FireServer()
wait(cooldownTime)
onCooldown = false
end
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
altPressed = true
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and not onCooldown then
zPressed = true
startCooldown()
end
end)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
altPressed = false
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
zPressed = false
end
end)
SERVER SCRIPT:
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvent
rep.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char.Humanoid
hum.JumpHeight += 100
hum.Jump = true
end)
Now you only need to add an RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage and itll work
EDIT: I also used LeftControl

But will it replicate to the server?

Semi-unrelated question, but the LocalScript that I made, will it show the player actually leap on everyone else’s ends or will it only be on the end of the person who has leaped?
2 Likes
my version will be shown to every player and the server, which is why I made a RemoteEvent. But Im not too sure about your solution

I tested with another person, and they said that it showed me leap, but just incase I will use your version xd, thanks again btw
