Script unable to detect movement using a custom character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

The title is self-explanatory. The script is unable to detect movement when I change my character to a custom character. It does, however, detect on a normal character.


local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local walkAnim = script:WaitForChild("Walk")
local walkAnimTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(walkAnim)

while true do
	wait()
	humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
		if speed > 0 then
			print("speed is bigger than 0")
			if not walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
				print("the anim track is not playing")
				walkAnimTrack:Play()
			end
		else
			print("player not moving")
			if walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
				walkAnimTrack:Stop()
			end
		end
	end)	
end

You do not need to wrap your running connection in a while true do, because it’ll automatically fire when humanoid is running:

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local walkAnim = script:WaitForChild("Walk")
local walkAnimTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(walkAnim)

humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
		if speed > 0 then
			print("speed is bigger than 0")
			if not walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
				print("the anim track is not playing")
				walkAnimTrack:Play()
			end
		else
			print("player not moving")
			if walkAnimTrack.IsPlaying then
				walkAnimTrack:Stop()
			end
		end
	end)	
end

If it still doesn’t work, which it should, let us know.

It still doesn’t work. It just gets stuck after printing player not moving
