Issue with StateChanged and checking if player Landed, any better ways?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to check if the player has landed (touched the ground, no longer in the air)

I have tried using Humanoid.StateChanged and Humanoid.FloorMaterial to check if player has landed on the ground. When I used StateChanged, it doesn’t detect the player landing half of the time. When I used FloorMaterial, it works normally but sometimes when you get near certain parts or even not near parts it thinks your floormaterial is plastic when you’re actually in the air.

I would really appreciate other ideas to check if the player has landed.
note: this is for double jumping

how about just do this.

local UIP = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local debounce = false

UIP.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, IsTyping)
	if IsTyping then return end
	if not debounce and humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall and Key.keyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		debounce = true
		humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
	end
end)

humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(state)
	if debounce and state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		debounce = false
	elseif debounce and state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Climbing then
		debounce = false
	end
end)

thats a local script on starter character scripts.

if your using server script on the landed maybe it has bit of delay

local Hum = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid

Hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(newState)
    if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
        --Something
    end
end)

Like I said, I’ve tried using Landed it doesn’t execute the code inside the if statement appropriately half of the time. I am using it on the client so it shouldn’t be delayed at all. I also use JumpRequest instead of UIS.InputBegan.

can I see the code you made? maybe there’s something that makes it not work properly

#5 
hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState,newState)
	if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		hum.WalkSpeed += 30
		wait(0.2)
		debounce1 = true
	elseif newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
 		if Character["LeftHand"]:FindFirstChild("Trail") then
			Character.LeftHand.Trail:Destroy()
		end
		if Character["RightHand"]:FindFirstChild("Trail") then
			Character.RightHand.Trail:Destroy()
		end
		debounce1 = false
	end
end)

I’ve tried using += in Lua and it didn’t work. Try this instead on line 3:

hum.WalkSpeed = hum.WalkSpeed + 30
#7

Uh, that works fine, the issue is with checking the landing of the player.

#8

Now I’ve identified a different issue, apparently landed works fine however if I continue to move around when I land instead of stopping as soon as I land, it will not destroy the trail, anyone know why? It finds the trail correctly and it says it should’ve destroyed.

Actually the Lua in Roblox supports +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, ^=, ..= after update 435
