YES, I AM WELL AWARE MOVEDIRECTION EXISTS

Now, on to the question.

How can I check if a Player has moved? Movedirection doesn’t work for me as I constantly have to check if player has moved. Is there a more simple function like Humanoid.Moved?

I have also tried :GetAttributeChangedSignal(), and it did not work.

You could run a loop that does some basic math, and uses the .Magnitude thing to check if they moved

I’m going to run it on multiple different scripts, it would be draining server resources. I would prefer not to. Is there a alternative option?

Try this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
		--// Your code here
	end
end)

Thank you, I think I did GetAttributeChangedSignal instead of GetPropertyChangedSignal

That is a simple mistake. Happens to the best of us.
