How to check if player is currently jumping?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have my own animation script for my custom rig, so I must detect player states.
When the player jumps, the humanoid state is becoming “Jumping” for a moment then automatically turns in “FreeFalling” even if the character is still gaining height. How can my script know if the character is really jumping or falling?

Maybe you can try using Humanoid.Jumping and check the boolean passed through the first argument?

Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function(IsJumping: boolean)
    if IsJumping then
        -- Code
    end
end)

Yeah but the boolean is true for one moment, even if the player is gaining height, it is still “FreeFalling” which is not actually a falling. Can I reach something like current jump power, just like in I can get the speed while running?
