I made a sprint script which works completely fine in studio, even after I reset the character. Yet in a real Roblox server, the script no longer works after I reset.
This is a local script within StarterCharacterScripts
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local hrp = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Animation = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("Animation"))
local Walk = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"):FindFirstChild("Running")
Walk.SoundId = "rbxassetid://174960816"
Walk.Volume = 4
Walk.PlaybackSpeed = 0.8
Animation.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement
local running = false
local function ChangeFov(Fov, Time)
TweenService:Create(workspace.Camera, TweenInfo.new(Time), {FieldOfView = Fov}):Play()
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 40
running = true
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 13
running = false
end
end)
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if running == true and Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
if not Animation.IsPlaying then
Animation:Play()
ChangeFov(105, 0.2)
Walk.PlaybackSpeed = 1
end
else
if Animation.IsPlaying then
Animation:Stop()
ChangeFov(100, 0.2)
Walk.PlaybackSpeed = 0.8
end
end
end)
Any suggestions help, thank you!
When upon resetting the character. The game will have a few seconds or however time to load the character and so the script won’t or should get the character variable right away and will cause it to equals nil.
So instead we add a wait delay for the character to load like this example:
Also you shouldn’t use the humanoid for loading animations because it is Deprecated and should be using the Animator instance for loading animations
Another side note is to that not use too much WaitForChild functions because it will yeild the script in miliseconds.
On line Walk should just re use the hrp variable instead of having to WaitForChild again
Hope this helps!
Let me know if anything happens
It is still causing a problem. I tried implementing what you said
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local hrp = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Animator = Humanoid:FindFirstChildOfClass("Animator")
local Animation = Animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("Animation"))
local Walk = hrp:FindFirstChild("Running")
do you see any errors in the console at all
After a reset, the console displays “RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep removed different functions with same reference name utility-focus-state-inspect-MrHistoryMan 2 times.”
And that isn’t really an error
i just tested it out myself it works for me when i reset.
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local hrp = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Animator = Humanoid.Animator
--local Animation = Animator:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("Animation"))
local Walk = hrp:FindFirstChild("Running")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
Walk.SoundId = "rbxassetid://174960816"
Walk.Volume = 4
Walk.PlaybackSpeed = 0.8
--Animation.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Movement
local running = false
local function ChangeFov(Fov, Time)
TweenService:Create(workspace.Camera, TweenInfo.new(Time), {FieldOfView = Fov}):Play()
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 40
running = true
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 13
running = false
end
end)
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
if running == true and Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
print("Running!")
--if not Animation.IsPlaying then
-- Animation:Play()
-- ChangeFov(105, 0.2)
-- Walk.PlaybackSpeed = 1
--end
else
print("Not running")
--if Animation.IsPlaying then
-- Animation:Stop()
-- ChangeFov(100, 0.2)
-- Walk.PlaybackSpeed = 0.8
--end
end
end)
i just commented out some stuff and yeah it works for me, you can keep the “local Character = script.Parent”
The problem still persists for me. It works inside Studio but not on a regular Roblox server
that’s odd, i published the studio i put it in, and its working for me after reset. maybe its the animations? i commeneted the lines that had animations with it and its perfectly fine.
i had a little error where it said it failed to find humanoid, so i just set all the FindFirstChild to WaitForChild
Try using WaitForChild on the running sound variable
It throws an error on the running sound cause it is set to nil and can’t change an Id on nil
It just randomly started working. I’m going to test it a bit more to make sure that it continues to work.
Thanks for the help
I tested your script in game and the only error I really got was the sound id so all you had to do is set the sound variable to WaitForChild to give it time to load
Alright, I’ll try that. It randomly stopped working again 
I get a different error where is says “attempt to index nil with ‘FindFirstChild’”
Would you mind showing the line?
I went into your script and did some changes and you should also disconnect events for the sake of not leaving memory leaks and so I simply organized it and on my way, tested it in studio and game too. It worked for me so hopefully this should work just fine
Let me know if there is any errors in the developer console or output.
