I made a Sprint script that requires you to be already moving and then press LShift. Stops the run when your character stops moving, returning to basic WalkSpeed.
Here’s the issue: if you don’t move your mouse while performing the run, it won’t activate (even if you were doing everything right). On the other hand, even slightest mouse movement lets the run work normally.
Basically I’ve noticed the humanoid.MoveDirection detection seems to require mouse movement besides char movement for some reason. It’s what I’m mainly struggling with.
Here’s the code:
-- Variables
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local vectorZero = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
local defaultSpeed = 16
local runSpeed = 26
-- Run function
local function detectLShift(input)
local runAttempt -- LShift pressed
local runInProgress -- Running currently
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
print("Leftshift pressed")
runAttempt = true
local function endRunAttempt()
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
print("runAttempt complete")
runAttempt = false -- Ends current runAttempt once input ends
end
end
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(endRunAttempt)
end
local function movementCheck()
if runAttempt == true and humanoid.MoveDirection ~= vectorZero then
print("Run activated")
runInProgress = true
humanoid.WalkSpeed = runSpeed
elseif humanoid.MoveDirection == vectorZero and runInProgress == true then
print("Run deactivated")
runAttempt = false
runInProgress = false
humanoid.WalkSpeed = defaultSpeed
end
end
humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(movementCheck)
end
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(detectLShift)
If you’ve encountered this kind of problem, how have you solved this in the past?
Thanks for reading, help means a lot.
You can try this script. And before you ask on the forum, please do some research on the problem. Also, if you do not know. You need to put it in starter player and make it a local script. The script:
game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputBegan:connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
for i = 1,16 do
wait()
game.Workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = game.Workspace.Camera.FieldOfView + 1.6
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”).WalkSpeed = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”).WalkSpeed + 1
end
end
end)
game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputEnded:connect(function(input,gameprocesed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
for i = 1,16 do
wait()
game.Workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = game.Workspace.Camera.FieldOfView - 1.6
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”).WalkSpeed = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”).WalkSpeed - 1
end
end
end)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”).Died:connect(function()
game.Workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = 70
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
script.Disabled = true
end)
(Edit: You can also change the speed.)
One way to fix this would be to listen to the MoveDirection changing, if the magnitude of it is 0, then reset the WalkSpeed.
Now for actually sprinting you could do a quick if statement to see if the MoveDirection is not 0, and then set the WalkSpeed
Example code that wouldn’t work in game but would in theory:
local function ResetSpeed()
-- set speed back to normal
end
local function Run()
-- set speed to running
end
-- Events
Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
if (Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0) then
ResetSpeed()
end
end)
OnInputBegan:Connect(function(io)
if (io.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift) then
-- Check if moving
if (Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude ~= 0) then
Run()
end
end
end)
