Issues with Humanoid.StateChanged

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’m making a game similar to streets of rage, and right now I’m trying to add mobile support. When the player jumps, if they are moving with the thumbstick, it never sets their status to walking like it should, making the game think they are still falling. Watch the video to fully understand.

Code snippet 
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	print(tostring(old)) -- Prints to figure out why it's not working
	print(tostring(new))
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		if jumpsequence.isPlaying() then
			task.wait(0.3)
			fallsequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 6
		else
			fallsequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 6
		end
	elseif new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed or old == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed and new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then
		if math.round(Humanoid.MoveDirection.x) == 1 then
			if spritesheet.isMirroredX() == false then
				spritesheet.mirrorX()
				walksequence.play(fps, looped)
				status.Value = 2
			end
		elseif math.round(Humanoid.MoveDirection.X) == -1 then
			if spritesheet.isMirroredX() == true then
				spritesheet.mirrorX()
				walksequence.play(fps, looped)
				status.Value = 2
			end
		elseif math.round(Humanoid.MoveDirection.Z) == -1 or math.round(Humanoid.MoveDirection.Z) == 1 then
			walksequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 2
		else
			idlesequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 4
		end
	end
end)

(Video’s too big so I uploaded it to google drive.)

Do the sequence.play() functions also stop the other animations? If not, that’s probably your issue.

Yes it does. Also, I should’ve put this in the post, but I’m using the EasySprite module, by @arbitiu

And it’s not just the animation, the status.Value is still the value of falling, not walking

I’ve always found when working with; Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal() or Humanoid.StateChanged, adding a stepped wait() right after the trigger seems to help.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local rns = game:GetService("RunService")

Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	rns.Stepped:Wait()
    --
end)
untested 
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local rns = game:GetService("RunService")

Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	rns.Stepped:Wait()

	local isFreefall = new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall
	local isLand = new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed
	local isRunning = old == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed and
		new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running

	if isFreefall then
		if jumpsequence.isPlaying() then
			task.wait(0.3)
		end
		fallsequence.play(fps, looped)
		status.Value = 6
	elseif isLand or isRunning then
		local dir = Humanoid.MoveDirection
		local x, z = math.round(dir.X), math.round(dir.Z)

		if x == 1 and not spritesheet.isMirroredX() then
			spritesheet.mirrorX()
			walksequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 2
		elseif x == -1 and spritesheet.isMirroredX() then
			spritesheet.mirrorX()
			walksequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 2
		elseif z == 1 or z == -1 then
			walksequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 2
		else
			idlesequence.play(fps, looped)
			status.Value = 4
		end
	end
end)

Huh, I wonder why that is? Well, it works, so thanks for the help!
