Movement system

#1

So Im trying to make a system that whenever you walk it plays my own animation and you can also run, jump, all of that with my own animations.
I tried using Humanoid.Running but when the player would jump it still triggered the running function as if the speed wasnt 0. What approach should I use for that type of movement system?

#2

Sounds like you’re only changing the animations. Maybe you could replace the animation ids found in the Animate script that gets created on spawn instead of making your own handler?

This is intended. Humanoid.Running fires whenever the player starts doing any sort of movement really, you can however check if they’re in the air with a bunch of different methods, like checking if their Humanoid.FloorMaterial is air, or checking if their state is freefall, etc…

Wouldnt changing the animations in the animate script be too tedious?

#4

Nope, you just spawn into the game, copy the Animate localscript inside the character, paste it into StarterCharacterScripts, then you edit the animation inside the string values that are parented to the script

Ej: If you wanted to change the walking animation, you should change the animation id of the WalkAnim of walk

do I also need to delete the original one?

#6

also doesnt it fire the run animation when you walk im kinda confused

#7

You must use “MoveDirection” to detect whether the player is walking or not, using the “running” signal is kind of bad because it detects if you are moving, but you are not.

Do Something Like that:

--// Instances
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
      if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude >= 0.01 then -->> you are walking
         ---do stuffs,if you are using like a shift to run just check it
    end 
end)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, chat)
if chat then return end

if input == Enum.KeyCode.W then
	runCount += 1
	if runCount == 1 then
		oldTick = tick()
	elseif runCount == 2 then
		if oldTick - tick() <= 0.7 then
			runAnim()
			runCount = 0
		else
			runCount = 1
			oldTick = tick()
		end
	end
	
end

end)

humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal(“MoveDirection”):Connect(function()
if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
if walking == true then return end
walking = true
walkAnim()
else

	walking = false
	
	stopRun()
	idleAnim()
end

end)

this is my current code but the run isnt working

No, just place it in StarterCharacterScripts. I hope you’re pasting it while you are not playing, right?
