Need help fixing my sprint script

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. I want to make my sprint animation stop if the character is not running.

  2. I have a sprint script that plays an animation and once it plays the animation and I stop running the animation still goes on.

  1. I have tried checking the MoveDirection Magniuted to make it stop but it did not work while the animation was playing
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local running = false
local Character = Player.Character

function getTool()	
	for _, kid in ipairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if kid.className == "Tool" then return kid end
	end
	return nil
end

local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://6773506019'
local PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)

local AnimationTracks = Character.Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key) -- Run function
	key = string.lower(key)
	if string.byte(key) == 48 then
		running = true
		local keyConnection = mouse.KeyUp:connect(function (key)
			if string.byte(key) == 48 then
				running = false
			end
		end)
		for i = 1,5 do
			game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = (70+(i*2))
			wait()
		end
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
		if Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
			PlayAnim:Play()
		else
          PlayAnim:Stop()
		end
		repeat wait () until running == false
		keyConnection:disconnect()
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
		PlayAnim:Stop()
		for i = 1,5 do
			game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = (80-(i*2))
			wait()
		end
	end
end)

A couple things

  • The Mouse Object is considered “Legacy”, I’d prefer using UserInputService

  • Humanoid:LoadAnimation is considered deprecated, do change to the Animator object instead

Here’s hopefully a much better version of your script:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

function getTool()	
	for _, kid in ipairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		if kid.className == "Tool" then return kid end
	end
	return nil
end

local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://6773506019'
local PlayAnim = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Anim)

local AnimationTracks = Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, Chatted)
    if Chatted then
        return
    end

    if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode then --Change this to what KeyCode you want to detect
        Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
        PlayAnim:Play()
    
        for Loop = 1, 5 do
            Cam.FieldOfView = (70 + (Loop * 2))
            wait()
        end
    end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input)
    if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode then--Same thing 
        Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
        PlayAnim:Stop()
    
        for Loop = 1, 5 do
            Cam.FieldOfView = (70 - (Loop * 2))
            wait()
        end
    end
end)

the only problem I have is that while pressing shift if I stop moving and keep on pressing shift the animation still plays.

so like if I start sprinting and don’t release shift it will countinue playing the animation

Oh I see

Then you can use another event called Humanoid.Running to detect when the Humanoid stops running or starts walking, just add this into your script along with your other events:

Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(CurrentSpeed)
    if CurrentSpeed > 0 then
        Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
        PlayAnim:Play()
    
        for Loop = 1, 5 do
            Cam.FieldOfView = (70 + (Loop * 2))
            wait()
        end
    else
        Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
        PlayAnim:Stop()
    
        for Loop = 1, 5 do
            Cam.FieldOfView = (70 - (Loop * 2))
            wait()
        end
    end
end)
