currently im making a custom fall damage script that ragdolls the player if they fall for more that 0.7s but the FreeFall state only works if the player jumps so if the player walks off a building no damage or ragdoll is given, how do i fix this? the script below is a local script under sps.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local deadly = false
local fallingEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("FallingEvent")

local fallingStartTime = nil

local function onCharacterAdded()
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

	humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
		if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
			fallingStartTime = tick()
		elseif oldState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
			local fallingDuration = tick() - fallingStartTime
			if fallingDuration > 0.7 then
				fallingEvent:FireServer()
			end
			fallingStartTime = nil
		end
	end)

	print("Player respawned")
	fallingStartTime = nil
	print("reset fallingtime")
	print(fallingStartTime)
end

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
