Is there a better way to add WalkSpeed with Equipped And Unequipped Functions

So i was wondering if there was a better way to add Walkspeed with Equipped And Unequipped Functions on server scripts

i wanted to do something like this, so a can add and remove Walkspeed instead of setting it to a number and back but when you spam equip the tool it just keeps stacking on the Walkspeed and doesn’t remove it

You should change .WalkSpeed += 2 to .WalkSpeed -= 2 in the unequipped event which removes the walkspeed instead of adding it.

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed -= 2
end)
#3

Adding on I’m pretty sure that you could do (for the unequip)

Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16

For the equip:

Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 18

Not sure if this is simpler but it makes more sense to me :person_shrugging:

If you spam equip and unequip it could give you a permanent increase or decrease. You should use set values.

#6

I don’t believe this is possible? Unequipped always runs whenever a player unequips voluntarily or forcefully and it’s the same case for Equipped. I don’t think the engine “skips” one of these signals if you spam it.
However, that can happen if the player has a walkspeed below the amount removed, which actually causes permanent speed loss

If you don’t wan the player to spam it, you can a cooldown

Local cooldown = false

Tool.Equip:Connect(Function()
If cooldown == false then

Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed += 2
cooldown = true
Wait(5)
cooldown = false

Else
return
end
end)

#8

That is kind of tedious to do, it shouldn’t take so much code for a simple task.

#9

Just wanna put everything everybody said together (There are many ways but this is what I would do)

Local cooldown = false

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if cooldown == false then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 18 -- Whatever speed you want (normal is 16)
		cooldown = true
		wait (3) -- Whatever cooldown you want
		cooldown = false
	end
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

Pls correct me if this actually doesn’t work (I’m a modeler not a Scripter)

that was just a typo on my part, but i did fix it later but im still having a issue with the spamming part

#11

i would use this type of way but im trying to make it so i don’t have to set a walkspeed by what i mean is im not trying to do (Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16), im trying to figure out a way i could do (Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed =+ 16) with the plus without it stacking on walkspeed

#12

Well I’m a idiot, after researching i figured out the reason why the Walkspeed was stacking was because i had a :WaitForChild line above it… :skull:

I’m truly sorry for wasting all your guys time, also thanks for the help and trying
