Hello!

Small script to use a bolean value to change the player’s speed
open a frame and change the colour of an imagelabel. It. It does change the speed, only initially but will not funciton past that.

local run = script.Parent.runnin

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if run.Value == false then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 40
		script.Parent.Selected.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(255, 62, 62)
		run.Value = true
	else 			
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 18
		script.Parent.Selected.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(61, 104, 122)
		run.Value = false

You should probably set the run.Value to false in the beginning of the script, outside the function.

Where is the script located, and is it a Server or Local script?

local script, I did add run.Value = false just before the if-then function.
It stops working after the line to change the speed to 40.

Try changing the value first, then everything else. Also do you get any errors?

Also this is in a local script right?

Wait i got one this time-

Players.kitkatsncoffee.PlayerGui.MainScreen.Buttons.Run.LocalScript:6: attempt to index boolean with 'ImageColor3

10

Can I see all of the items you have in the explorer/You’re Gui?
Because it seems like there might be a problem in how you locate the items

You’re way of locating the players character is not that well built and can cause errors.
Try using

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

to locate the player’s character

I think I have found you’re problem.
You see you have an image that is call “Selected” Well… that is also a boolen inside of the object called run. so you’re script thinks you’re trying to change the color of an boolen and not an object.

Just change the name of the object call “Selected” to something else and make sure you change it in the script too. also do what i said about locating the players character
do some like this to change the players walkspeed

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local SprintValue = script.Parent.runnin

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if SprintValue.Value == false then
		SprintValue.Value = true
		
		Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 40
		script.Parent.Selected.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(255, 62, 62)
		
	else
		SprintValue.Value = false
		
		Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
		script.Parent.Selected.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(61, 104, 122)--- See here the word selected need to be changed, change the name of that object 
	end
end)
