Hi devforum! I’m trying to make a script where if the player isn’t moving, it return ends. like if not moving then return end. Problem is, I can’t figure out how to go about it.

#2 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function Something()
	if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0 then --Not moving.
		--Do code.
	else
		return
	end
end

You would essentially put the if conditional statement wherever in the function the check should be performed.

this technically wont work. You never call the function!!!

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function Something()
	if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0 then --Not moving.
		--Do code.
	else
		return
	end
end
Humanoid.Changed:Connect(Something)

That’s fairly obvious, the thread’s poster was just asking how you would check if a humanoid is moving while a function is executing, hence I provided an example.
