How to restart a line of code

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have a script that manages jumping and stamina. It checks for humanoid state being jumping and fires a function. The problem is that it doesn’t work after the character died because it is still checking for the old humanoid !!
Here is the script:

--Jumping--
--variables--
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local StaminaEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Stamina

local StaminaDisplay = Player.PlayerGui.StaminaGui.Background.StaminaDisplay

local stamina = Player.PlayerGui.StaminaGui.Stamina
local running = false
local jumping = false
local regenerating = false

--stamina regen--
local function regen()
	regenerating = true
	wait(1)
	while stamina.Value < 1000 and not running and not jumping do
		StaminaEvent:FireServer(1)
		StaminaDisplay:TweenSize(UDim2.new (stamina.Value / 1000,0,1,0), "Out", "Linear", 0.1)
		if stamina.Value > 250 then
			Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping,true)
		end
		if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0 then
			StaminaEvent:FireServer(3)
			StaminaDisplay:TweenSize(UDim2.new (stamina.Value / 1000,0,1,0), "Out", "Linear", 0.1)
		end
		wait(0.01)
	end
	StaminaDisplay:TweenSize(UDim2.new (stamina.Value / 1000,0,1,0), "Out", "Linear", 0.1)
	regenerating = false
end

--Jumping--
Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old,new)
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
		jumping = true
		StaminaEvent:FireServer(-250)
		StaminaDisplay:TweenSize(UDim2.new (stamina.Value / 1000,0,1,0), "Out", "Linear", 0.1)
		Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping,false)
		wait()
		jumping = false
		if stamina.Value > 250 then
			Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping,true)
		end
		if not regenerating then
			regen()
		end
	end
end)

--running--
local function Sprint(actionName,inputState)
	if actionName == "Sprint" and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		running = true
		while stamina.Value > 0 and running do
			if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude ~= 0 then
				Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25
				StaminaEvent:FireServer(-4)
				StaminaDisplay:TweenSize(UDim2.new (stamina.Value / 1000,0,1,0), "Out", "Linear", 0.1)
				if stamina.Value < 251 then
					Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping,false)
				end
				if stamina.Value < 0 then
					running = false
					Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
					if not regenerating then
						regen()
					end
				end
			end
			wait(0.01)
		end
		if stamina.Value < 0 then
			running = false
			Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
			if not regenerating then
				regen()
			end
		end

	elseif actionName == "Sprint" and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
		running = false
		Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		if not regenerating then
			regen()
		end
	end
end

--CAS binding--
ContextActionService:BindAction("Sprint",Sprint,true,Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift,Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL3)
ContextActionService:SetImage("Sprint","rbxassetid://1488065688")
ContextActionService:SetPosition("Sprint",UDim2.new(1, -90, 0.5, -100))

--Changing Character--
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	Character = character
	Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping,true)
	Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	running = false
	jumping = false
	StaminaEvent:FireServer(1000)
	StaminaDisplay:TweenSize(UDim2.new (stamina.Value / 1000,0,1,0), "Out", "Linear", 0)
end)

add this in StarterCharacterScripts as scripts in this folder would restart every time player respawns

#3

for a reason i ignore, it wont work there. :man_shrugging:

The script in the original post is now the whole script.

#4

where did you put this script? StarterPlayerScripts?

yes it is indeed where i put it

You’ve said that it is still checking for the old Humanoid even when the player has died.

A fix could be to “update” or “refresh” the variable. Simply make a event when the player has respawned and then create the Humanoid variable like this:

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() 
Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end)

I did this (it is at the end of the script) but it’s like if it doesn’t acknowledge that, it stays stuck on the old one

#8

Oops didn’t notice that. You should try seeing if the function even fires by using a print there.

Also, I believe this has to be switched around? I’m not sure tho.

#9

yeah it fires…

character limit

#10

put the local script in startercharacterscripts and change local character = player.CharacterAdded:Wait() to local character = player.Character
