I can't move while pressing CTRL?

Okay so I have a character here, it’s a custom character. You can control it with basic movements like WASD controls. Now I added some additional controls:

  • Left Shift: To run/sprint
  • Left CTRL: To crouch/crawl or walk while crouched

The issue is I can move when I hold shift to run while holding w at the same time. Now when I hold CTRL it does work. But it only forces my character to crouch. It only plays the crouch animation. When I try to move by pressing W while holding CTRL, it won’t let me like the character is stuck or something. I checked the properties, the humanoid properties look fine. The WalkSpeed is not 0.

Sometimes I managed to move while crouching, which is a weird bug I don’t know what’s causing it.

Here’s a footage of the problem: 2021-06-09 21-08-18

If you take a look at the video, look closely on the output, it prints what I pressed.
It does print that CTRL is being held or pressed down. There, the crouch works, the animation plays but I can’t move while pressing CTRL and W at the same time. Unless I let go of the CTRL, it would cancel the crouch and I’ll be able to move again.

Sometimes, I sprint around then jump then press CTRL to crouch and I’m still holding w, now I can move, I am finally crawling (or crouch walking). The bug is weird, isn’t it?

This bug is confusing. It lets me move if I jump then crouch and hold W at the same time when I land on the ground. But if I’m not moving at all, I press CTRL to crouch then press W while holding CTRL, it just won’t let me.

If you have suggestions, questions, ideas, let me know in the replies below. :slight_smile:

Have you tried giving the walk speed when it crouch a lil slower? It could be you setting it as 0 when you want it to crouch.

He said he checked the walkspeed. But still it might be that.

The only thing the crouch code modifies is the HipHeight of the humanoid.

For the sprint, it only modifies walkspeed. Nothing else.

Press Shift to sprint or CTRL to sprint?

That’s weird, just to make sure, add a line of code that set the walk speed to your desired speed for crouching like after you set the hip height.

@huanwz I’ll try that later and let you know if it works or not.

@huanwz Nope still doesn’t work. The bug is still there. It does make me crouch walk at a slow speed but I can’t move if I press CTRL first then W.

When it comes to FPS games, you hold CTRL to crouch and crawl. That’s what I’m trying to implement in my code but there’s a bug that let my character move if I crouch first then press W. Unless I jump then crouch, it will let me.

Alright so the CTRL code was working the entire time. It only doesn’t work in studio but when I tested it in the actual roblox client (Roblox Player).
