Stamina going down more exponentially as you use

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a horror game with a stamina and sprinting system. However, I noticed that after you sprint once, sprinting again causes your stamina bar to go down twice as fast–and regenerate twice as fast. Here is my code which is inside StarterCharacterScripts.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local CV = Character.CharacterValues
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

local RunningSpeed = 32
local CurrentStamina = CV.Stamina
local Sprinting = CV.Sprinting

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("WalkSpeed"):Connect(function()
	while true do
		task.wait(1)
		if Sprinting.Value == true and CurrentStamina.Value > 0 then
			CurrentStamina.Value -= 4
		elseif not (Sprinting.Value == true) and CurrentStamina.Value < 100 then
			CurrentStamina.Value += 1
			end
		end
	
end)

while true do
	task.wait()
	if CurrentStamina.Value < 0 then
		while CurrentStamina.Value < 0 do
			CurrentStamina.Value += 1
		end
	end
end

wrap the 2 while loops in a task.spawn(). and it should work.

Sorry, how would I do that? I’ve never used task.spawn before.

#4 
Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("WalkSpeed"):Connect(function()
task.spawn(function()
	while true do
		task.wait(1)
		if Sprinting.Value == true and CurrentStamina.Value > 0 then
			CurrentStamina.Value -= 4
		elseif not (Sprinting.Value == true) and CurrentStamina.Value < 100 then
			CurrentStamina.Value += 1
			end
		end
	end)
end)

repeat with the other one.

EDIT:

I don’t think the other while loop is necessary, I would try to remove it, I also added type checking to your version:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local CV = Character.CharacterValues
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

local RunningSpeed = 32
local CurrentStamina = CV.Stamina
local Sprinting = CV.Sprinting

task.spawn(function()
    while true do
        task.wait(1)
        if Sprinting.Value and CurrentStamina.Value > 0 then
            CurrentStamina.Value -= 4
        elseif not Sprinting.Value and CurrentStamina.Value < 100 then
            CurrentStamina.Value += 1
        end
        
        -- Ensure stamina doesn't go below 0
        if CurrentStamina.Value < 0 then
            CurrentStamina.Value = 0
        end
    end
end)

Thank you so much, this worked.

you are making a new while loop everytime the property “Walkspeed” is changed, so everytime you run, or change back to walk, it will make new loops thus every loop adds additional stamina.
