Moving the character forwards

What I am trying to do?

I am trying to make the player move forward a few studs once they jump.

What have I tried?

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
 
local localPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
 
localPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Changed:Connect(function()
	if(localPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Jump == true) then
	   	if localPlayer.Character then
	   		local humanoid = localPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	   		if humanoid then
				local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
				while wait() do
					local Direction = Vector3.new(Camera.CFrame.LookVector.X,0,Camera.CFrame.LookVector.Z)*1000
					if not game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Forward") then
						local bodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
						bodyForce.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
						bodyForce.Name = "Forward"
						game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Forward").Force = Direction
					else
						game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("Forward").Force = Direction
					end
				end
	   		end
		end
	end
end)

This didnt work however I also tried to do :Move to the player’s object and I tried to move the humanoid however that didn’t work?

What should I do?

You could use Humanoid.WalkToPart or Humanoid.WalkToPart instead

For Example:

local finish = workspace.Finish
local hum = --humanoid here
hum.WalkToPart = finish

The Rest will do Roblox automatically.

Put this in a local script in StarterPlayerScripts. It should work unless I missunderstood your problem.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local STUDS_IN_SECOND = 10 -- a normal jump seems to take a little over half a second

local plr = Players.LocalPlayer
local jumping, landed = Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed

local conns = {}
local isJumping = false


local function checkForLanding(_, newState)
	if newState == landed then
		conns.CheckForLanding:Disconnect()
		conns.CheckForLanding = nil
		isJumping = false
	end
end

local function handleJump(hum, newState)
	isJumping = true
	conns.CheckForLanding = hum.StateChanged:Connect(checkForLanding)
	local hrp = hum.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
	local delta = 0
	while isJumping do
		hrp.CFrame *= CFrame.new(0, 0, delta*(-STUDS_IN_SECOND))
		delta = RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
	end
end

local function onDeath()
	for k, v in pairs(conns) do
		v:Disconnect()
		conns[k] = nil
	end
	isJumping = false
end

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
	local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local stateChangedConn = hum.StateChanged:Connect(function(_, newState)
		if newState == jumping then
			handleJump(hum, newState)
		end
	end)
	conns.Died = hum.Died:Connect(onDeath)
end)

This didnt seem to work unfortunately.

Did you try using :MoveTo() on the humanoid object itself? :MoveTo(), when provided with a Vector3 of the goal position, will move a humanoid to the specified point. However, if a player inputs a movement while the :MoveTo() is running, that :MoveTo() call will be cancelled.

What you could do is disable the player’s movement options after they Jump or once they enter the .Landed state. This is how I disable movement, but there are other ways out there to do this. Just note that this needs to run client-sided; Running this server-sided won’t work. It basically overrides the WASD and Space keys with an empty function, but this function has more priority than the movement function built into Roblox’s default scripts.

local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

--To disable movement
contextActionService:BindActionAtPriority("DisableMovement", function()
	    return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
end, false, Enum.ContextActionPriority.Default.Value + 25, Enum.KeyCode.W, Enum.KeyCode.A, Enum.KeyCode.S, Enum.KeyCode.D, Enum.KeyCode.Space)

--To enable movement
contextActionService:UnbindAction("DisableMovement")

Hope this helps.
