How To Detect Idling and Jumping

[MR_M3WTWO (Mew)]

I have this run animation and it’s a simple left shift to sprint but whenever the player is idling or jumping while holding left shift the animation still plays. I want to know how I can update to script to detect idling and jumping so that if the play jumps it plays the jump animation instead and if idling it will play the idle animation. Here is the script that I currently have:

local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 35  --run speed
		local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
		Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://15708472541'
		PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
		PlayAnim.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement
		PlayAnim:Play()
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16  --default walk speed
		PlayAnim:Stop()
	end
end)

Detect if a Player is Moving or Not

I am looking to recreate my own version of an old zen/relaxation game from a long time ago. I want to make a script that when a person moves, it fires a command, and when the person stops moving it fires a different command. For demonstration purposes that command can be print(“moving”) and print(“not moving”). Right now the first step I need to figure out is how to detect if a player is moving or not. I am still pretty new to scripting and want to find the most effective way of doing this. I …

or you can just use Humanoid:GetState()

There is documentation on detecting state changes here: Humanoid | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

I recommend binding a function to the StateChanged event
