Slide Canceling Problem

[Secerne (nuua)]

I’m having issues with my slide script. I want to get my slide to cancel if space is pressed while sliding but I don’t know how to break out of the sliding for loop and reset player speed/velocity while inside of the if statement that detects if a player presses space/jumps.

I have tried

for count = 1, 8 do
	wait(0.2)
	slide.Velocity *= 0.8
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		break
	end
end

and the same thing but “continue” instead of break. I have also tried setting the variable “count” to 8 to stop the for loop but I think it’s not in the same scope.

Here is my whole script if that helps.

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
	if gameProcessed then return end
	if not canSlide then return end

	canSlide = false
	
	local slide = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	slide.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1, 0, 1) * 30000
	slide.Velocity = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * SLIDE_SPEED
	slide.Parent = character.HumanoidRootPart
	
	-- slide time
	for count = 1, 8 do
		wait(0.2)
		slide.Velocity *= 0.8
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
			break
		end
	end

	slide:Destroy()
	wait(SLIDE_COOLDOWN)
	canSlide = true
end
		end)

Also, if it’s not too much trouble, I also would like to know how I can stop the slide when the player reaches a certain speed. I can’t seem to find out how.

You could first create a variable out the outside of the function called something like sliding, that’s on default set to false. Then when you start sliding set the variable to true. So in your for loop, you can replace:

@Secerne

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then

with:

if sliding == false then

Then you can add an elseif to the function, listening for when the user presses the space key. So like this:

elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
	sliding = false

Hope this helps!

I tried doing

sliding = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
				if gameProcessed then return end
				if not canSlide then return end
				canSlide = false
				sliding = true
				
	
		local slide = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		slide.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1, 0, 1) * 30000
		slide.Velocity = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * SLIDE_SPEED
		slide.Parent = character.HumanoidRootPart
		
		for count = 1, 8 do
			if sliding == false then
				break
			elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
				sliding = false
			end
			if sliding == true then
				wait(0.2)
				slide.Velocity *= 0.8
				print(sliding)
			end
		end
		
		slide:Destroy()
		sliding = false
		wait(SLIDE_COOLDOWN)
		canSlide = true
	end
end)

I also tried it without the

if sliding == true then

But it still didn’t work. Is it possible that this could be because space isn’t being constantly checked for because of the wait(0.2)?

What I was saying was something like this:

local sliding = false
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
		if not canSlide then return end

		canSlide = false
		sliding = true
	
		local slide = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		slide.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1, 0, 1) * 30000
		slide.Velocity = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * SLIDE_SPEED
		slide.Parent = character.HumanoidRootPart
		
		-- slide time
		for count = 1, 8 do
			wait(0.2)
			slide.Velocity *= 0.8
			if sliding == false then
				break
			end
		end

		slide:Destroy()
		wait(SLIDE_COOLDOWN)
		canSlide = true
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		sliding = false
	end
end)

The variable input wouldn’t change inside of the function. When the space bar is pressed, the function connected to InputBegan would just be run again, so you need to add another condition for handling when the player presses the space bar like my code above.

Oh I see what you were talking about now. That makes a lot more sense and that worked. Thank you!
