Hello there! This tutorial will help you create a system that lets you run faster over time.
Let’s get into it!
Step 1
Create a new LocalScript in game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts. We want the script to be a part of the player, not the character.
Step 2
Let’s add our Services.
--// Services
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- To detect when the Shift button are pressed *& released
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService") -- To create a buildup effect for our WalkSpeed
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Step 3
Now onto the InputBegan and InputEnded listeners.
--// Services
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- To detect when the Shift button are pressed *& released
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService") -- To create a buildup effect for our WalkSpeed
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
--// Listeners
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) -- 'key' is the Object 'key' pressed
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(key) -- 'key' is the Object 'key' let go of
end)
We want to make sure its only a specific key or keys that are pressed/let go of to trigger the sprint. In this case, it’ll be LeftShift and RightShift.
--// Services
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- To detect when the Shift button are pressed *& released
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService") -- To create a buildup effect for our WalkSpeed
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
--// Listeners
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) -- 'key' is the Object 'key' pressed
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(key) -- 'key' is the Object 'key' let go of
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
end
end)
We’re not done! We want to actually make our system change the WalkSpeed. To do so, we will need to create a new TweenService object and play it.
--// Services
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- To detect when the Shift button are pressed *& released
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService") -- To create a buildup effect for our WalkSpeed
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
--// Listeners
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) -- 'key' is the Object 'key' pressed
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
TS:Create(plr.Character.Humanoid, TweenInfo.new(2), {WalkSpeed = 32}):Play()
-- '2' is the time it takes to reach maximum speed
-- '32' is the maximum speed
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(key) -- 'key' is the Object 'key' let go of
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightShift then
TS:Create(plr.Character.Humanoid, TweenInfo.new(2), {WalkSpeed = 16}):Play()
-- '2' is the time it takes to reach normal speed
-- '16' is the normal WalkSpeed of a player
end
end)
Thanks for reading! If you create a variation of this system, consider posting it here for others to benefit and learn from.
