Inconsistent distance fallen results in fall damage script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve been trying to make a fall damage script that’s based on distance fallen, but I keep having problems with the script not calculating a player’s distance fallen correctly. The number printed by line 31 often ranges from 0.38 to 2.77.

I have tried using RunService.RenderStepped to replace the wait() on line 20, but I couldn’t figure out how. Saving script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y as a variable didn’t work, either.

Here is the full code:

local BeginFallingY = nil
local StoppedFallingY = nil

local SafeFallDistance = 20 --// How far can one fall before taking damage
local DamagePerStud = 0.8 --// For every stud fallen, this much damage is inflicted

local Sound = script.DeathSound
Sound.Parent = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart

script.Parent.Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old,new)
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		--// Start tracking their falling
		BeginFallingY = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y
		--// See if the highest point of someone's fall changes
		repeat
			if script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y > BeginFallingY then
				BeginFallingY = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y
				print("start height increased")
			end
			wait()
		until script.Parent.Humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall
	elseif old == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall or new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown then
		--// Check if player landed in water or started flying
		if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Swimming or new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.PlatformStanding then
			BeginFallingY = nil
			return
		end
		StoppedFallingY = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y
		--// Calculates distance fallen.
		local DistanceFell = BeginFallingY - StoppedFallingY
		print("Distance fallen: " .. tostring(DistanceFell) .. " studs")
		--// Check if distance fallen is more than SafeFallDistance
		if DistanceFell >= SafeFallDistance then
			local DangerDistance = DistanceFell - SafeFallDistance
			--// Evalute player health
			if (DangerDistance * DamagePerStud) >= script.Parent.Humanoid.Health then
				Sound:Play()
				script.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
			else script.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(DistanceFell * DamagePerStud)
			end
		end
		--// Cleanup
		BeginFallingY = nil
		StoppedFallingY = nil
	end
end)

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? All help is appreciated.
