Run Animation playing while the player is idle

[Kotium_I (Kotium)]

Hello whoever is reading this,
I need some help with making my run animation stop when the player is idle as well as having the default jump animation play when in the air instead of the run animation. I have tried using humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 to see if the player was idle but I couldn’t manage to get it to work.

Details:

• Running Animation Priority is “Movement”

• The animation is looped

• Game is set to r6

• Camera Mode is set to “LockFirstPerson”

Code is below (This is the code before I started trying to fix the issue.)

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local key = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local addSpeed = 16

local tweeninfoSprint = TweenInfo.new(.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.In)
local tweeninfoNotSprint = TweenInfo.new(.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local tweenSprint = ts:Create(cam, tweeninfoSprint, {FieldOfView = 80})
local tweenNotSprint = ts:Create(cam, tweeninfoNotSprint, {FieldOfView = 70})

local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local sprintAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
sprintAnimation.AnimationId =  "rbxassetid://14868306779"

local sprintTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(sprintAnimation)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.KeyCode == key then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed += addSpeed
			sprintTrack:Play()
			tweenSprint:Play()
		end
	end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.KeyCode == key then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed -= addSpeed
			sprintTrack:Stop()
			tweenNotSprint:Play()
		end
	end
end)

Any Help is Appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Before you play the animation you could check the humanoids state type.

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local key = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local addSpeed = 16

local tweeninfoSprint = TweenInfo.new(.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.In)
local tweeninfoNotSprint = TweenInfo.new(.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local tweenSprint = ts:Create(cam, tweeninfoSprint, {FieldOfView = 80})
local tweenNotSprint = ts:Create(cam, tweeninfoNotSprint, {FieldOfView = 70})

local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local sprintAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
sprintAnimation.AnimationId =  "rbxassetid://14868306779"

local sprintTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(sprintAnimation)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.KeyCode == key then
if humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Idle then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed += addSpeed
			sprintTrack:Play()
			tweenSprint:Play()
end
		end
	end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.KeyCode == key then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed -= addSpeed
			sprintTrack:Stop()
			tweenNotSprint:Play()
		end
	end
end)

I hope i helped.

humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Idle then

It says “Idle is not a valid member of Enum.HumanoidStateType”

[os_clock]

Right, I forgot that’s not a state type.

I know you’ve tried this but maybe you’ve put it in the wrong place?

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local key = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local addSpeed = 16

local tweeninfoSprint = TweenInfo.new(.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.In)
local tweeninfoNotSprint = TweenInfo.new(.3, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local tweenSprint = ts:Create(cam, tweeninfoSprint, {FieldOfView = 80})
local tweenNotSprint = ts:Create(cam, tweeninfoNotSprint, {FieldOfView = 70})

local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")

local sprintAnimation = Instance.new("Animation")
sprintAnimation.AnimationId =  "rbxassetid://14868306779"

local sprintTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(sprintAnimation)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.KeyCode == key then
if humanoid.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0,0,0) then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed += addSpeed
			sprintTrack:Play()
			tweenSprint:Play()
end
		end
	end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if input.KeyCode == key then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed -= addSpeed
			sprintTrack:Stop()
			tweenNotSprint:Play()
		end
	end
end)

If that doesn’t work try this.

I’ve also found a post covering how to check if the player is idle or not:

How would I determine if a player is moving or not/idle or walking

Hey everyone, I want to be able to see if a player is standing still or moving. Ex: I want to do some kind of custom animations how would I know if the player is idle or walking/running I tried to search about humanoid state type but I found nothing that could lead me to determine if a player is idle or not All Help would be appreciated

the script doesn’t work and still allows the run anim to play. Its something to do with holding the shift key, if there was a way to force end the input if the player wasn’t moving it might work.

I found a free script on the toolbox to prevent the bugs from happening. thanks for trying to help me!

[Roldstred]

Can you send me link of this script? I have exact same problem as you had and cant fix it still

[MrPieFace10 (typ)]

compare your script to the one you found so you learn why it happened and don’t make the same mistake again
