Could you try Humanoid.MoveDirection?. This option isn’t only for mobile but it could work.

Humanoid.MoveDirection is a Vector3 and detects the direction the player is moving in. If it isn’t moving, it will be set to 0, 0, 0.

I will try and find how to do this. I’m currently testing this on a roblox game.

Oh no don’t worry. I used that cuz roblox’s character limits are 30. So my sentence was too short by itself.

local roundhumanoidmd = Vector3.new(math.round(humanoid.MoveDirection.X), math.round(humanoid.MoveDirection.Y), math.round(humanoid.MoveDirection.Z))
local roundlookvector = Vector3.new(math.round(char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector.X), math.round(char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector.Y), math.round(char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector.Z))
if roundhumanoidmd == roundlookvector then
	--code
end

I rounded both Vector3s and checked if there are equal, meaning that the character is walking forwards.

Remember to define char.

You might want to loop it or do :GetPropertyChangedSignal() to both Humanoid and HumanoidRootPart as the position will keep on changing.

I just needed to find out wether they were moving forwards once. after that it doesn’t matter. I just check everytime they want to sprint.
