Need help with flood escape 2 type of swimming

Okay So basically I’m making a ROBLOX game that has swimming similar to flood escape 2. The only catch is that the touch event fires multiple times and for some reason my body velocity doesn’t work. Here is the script:

local Character = script.Parent
local Head = Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local InWater = false

local function InTheWater()
	if not InWater then
		InWater = true

		Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown)

		local Velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		Velocity.Parent = Root
		Velocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0,1,0) * math.huge
		Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0)

		UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,Process)
			if Process then return end
			if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
				Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,1,0) * 50
			end
		end)

		UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input,Process)
			if Process then return end
			if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
				Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0) 
			end
		end)
        
		UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,Process)
			if Process then return end
			if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
				Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,1,0) * -50
			end
		end)

		UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input,Process)
			if Process then return end
			if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
				Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0) 
			end
		end)
	end	
end

local function OutTheWater()
	if InWater then
		InWater = false

		if Root.BodyVelocity then
		Root.BodyVelocity:Destroy()
		end

		Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
	end	
end

while wait() do

Head.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Name == "Water" then
		InTheWater()
	end
end)

Head.TouchEnded:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Name == "Water" then
		OutTheWater()
	end
end)
	
	end

Can you please help me? I’m not sure why it’s doing this

#2

Do you have any errors being thrown in output?

#3

No unfortunately there aren’t any errors

#4

maybe try this

local Character = script.Parent
local Head = Character:WaitForChild("Head")
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local InWater = false
local Up = 0

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,Process)
	if Process then return end
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		Up = 1
	elseif Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		Up = -1
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input,Process)
	if Process then return end
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		Up = 0
	elseif Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		Up = 0
	end
end)

local function InTheWater()
	if not InWater then
		InWater = true

		Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown)

		local Velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		Velocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0,1,0) * math.huge
		Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
		Velocity.Parent = Root

		repeat
			if Up > 0 then
				Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,1,0) * 50
			elseif Up < 0 then
				Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,1,0) * -50
			else
				Velocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0) 
			end
			wait(0.1)
		until not InWater
	end	
end

local function OutTheWater()
	if InWater then
		InWater = false

		if Root.BodyVelocity then
			Root.BodyVelocity:Destroy()
		end

		Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
	end	
end

Head.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Name == "Water" then
		InTheWater()
	end
end)

Head.TouchEnded:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Name == "Water" then
		OutTheWater()
	end
end)

Thank you so much I will definetly try this when I have the time

#6

Unfortunately it didnt work and the same issue from before happend. Im sorry that i didnt tell you this from before but my roblox avatar inputs become delayed when im in the water part and my avatar keeps flashing

#7

You keep making a new connection every single time you call your InTheWater() function. You should either disconnect your connections OR keep them outside the function.

You also have a while loop thats constantly connection touch events:

while wait() do

Head.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Name == "Water" then
		InTheWater()
	end
end)

Head.TouchEnded:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Name == "Water" then
		OutTheWater()
	end
end)
	
	end

Just keep all your connections outside of any functions/loops or disconnect them when needed.

#8

what is disconnecting? How do use that?

#9

Something like this:

Connection = Head.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
	if Hit.Name == "Water" then
		InTheWater()
	end
end)

Connection:Disconnect(); -- Now we disconnect it (which means it won't get triggered, etc)

However, I don’t think this is the right approach for your issue. You should just remove the touch events out of the while loop (just delete the while loop altogether) and move all your userInput connections outside the InTheWater() function.

#10

I took out the UIS inputs out of the function and I Removed the while loop and the same thing happened. I also tried adding The disconnect thing you said and it just didn’t fire the function at all

#11

Could you screenshot the output and send the script with all updates/changes you’ve made?

You made a typo with “Connt”. It should be “Connect”
