How to detect if player is already walking and holding shift to sprint

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made a sprint script for my game but whenever the player holds shift it plays the running animation and zooms the screen out as if you were running. How do I fix this?

This is the main function for the script:

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input: InputObject, Processed: boolean)
	if not Processed then 
		if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and Input.KeyCode == Key then
			Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Speed
			SprintingTween:Play()
			local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
			Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://10741505640'
			PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
			PlayAnim:Play()
		end
		end
	
	end)

You can make sure the humanoid’s MoveDirection is greater than 0.

if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
    —Sprint code here
end

if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then

Would I put that before or after where it detects the shift key?

After it detects the shift key.

Could you not use Humanoid.Running? Or just check the speed if the user is at running speed.

It sorta worked but if I stop holding W it keeps playing the animation

You can check the MoveDirection of the humanoid if it’s more than 0 (which means walking) and UserInputService:IsKeyDown() to check if ‘Shift’ is being held.

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local PS = game:GetService("Players")

local player = PS.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
	if gpe then
		return
	end
	
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
		-- do all running effects
		warn("running")

		repeat task.wait() until not UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift) or hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude <= 0
		
		-- stop all running effects
		warn("not running")
	end
end)
